Sphere over Wells, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The light intensity was unlike anything I know of, many other small blue and red lights were scattered across the mountain as well. We watched it shift from one set of peaks to another at an unbelievable rate. As we looked in the sky above we noticed another bright light and it began to shift in zig zags and circles hovering around the night sky, as we looked around we could see a ring of these blue lights that all were moving in the same behavior unlike any of the other stars, or shooting stars in the sky. As we watched them, a bright orange orb appears from the ridge on our property and followed the tree tops till the end of the ridge, then zig zagged and shot off into the night sky.

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.
