Sphere over Dorchester, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A mostly clear night sky. Bright orbs viewed by two out of three observers at the limit of human sight, high up in the night sky and moving fast. The objects appeared to look like mini full moons to the viewers and appeared to be fully navigating themselves. The first orb was moving west to east and ended up at the upper eastern star within the big dipper. A second orb was viewed shortly after traveling in the same direction but then a headlamp was used, and it went behind a cloud or something. Shortly after the second orb disappeared a plane flew in from the west to the east and another plane traveled west to south and both were at typical plane heights. This event occurred the same night of the recorded St. Louis Arch event. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129028). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
