Sphere over Fargo, ND
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
46°50'23.5"N 96°50'20.3"W 46.839858, -96.838962 Looking towards Directions 46°50'21.9"N 96°50'13.2"W 46.839410, -96.836999 At approximately 23:33 August 14, 2016, while on a walk near 28th st Fargo, ND. I looked up and seen a very bright object. It was too bright for a plane and it was not blinking. It moved North West and seemed to be positioned over the red river south east of me. I grabbed my phone and tried to take a video but could not get a very good resolution. It was somewhat flat on the bottom mixed with a sphere look. The entire object seemed to be a bright glow. As it slowed down I started seeing green, yellow, blue and red colors flashing a few times below. After that it moved south east very slowly and stopped again. I only seen a few colors on the bottom. After sitting for a few minutes, it started to move slow going south east again. It seemed to gain elevation as the complete opposite as it had done while getting closer to its destination. There was no noise and when looking at the video I took it seemed to be approximately the same size of the moon in the camera however it was only 1/8 size in real life. The object started to dim as it gained altitude and distance away from me. I do have the videos and one picture. This has been more than a dozen sightings in my life both in the US and Australia. The first being in summer of 2008 three blocks west of red river in Grand Forks, ND, on the north side of the city. Triangle craft flew over our house. No sound, tree top height, it had three white glowing domes on bottom of craft located in each edge of the triangle. A red light started to appear and lines going towards the red light located in the exact center. It then started accelerating very quickly and with the speed and no noise we came to a conclusion that it is using anti-gravity or magnetic propulsion. As we watched it go directly south we noticed the curvature of the earth. It continued going straight instead of increasing altitude with the earth. Two witnesses for several events.

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.

I described my possible ufo experience to my friend and as i was explaining it, it happened again but this time I kept watching it. Until it just instantly disappeared, exactly like I predicted because of what happened with the last possible UFO. But this time i watched completely and had a witness watching too.

I was on my way home from walmart walking across the street to the backside of hobby lobby, something in the air moving caught my attention, I looked up thinking it was a balloon or something, but it continued to move in a straight line, tipping side to side, as it tipped, there was a metallic glint off the sides, it moved upward and escalated until I couldn't see it anymore.

Early in the morning of June 1st, 2020 I was laying in bed when I looked out my window and through a break in the trees I saw a red light that one would see on top of a radio tower. It had to be over I-29 or even I-94, but it was up about the cruising altitude of a commercial jet that people would take to travel. Anyway, I was laying there and I saw this beacon light almost, but knowing the area there's no tower that I can see from my bedroom window. It was a bright red light and it hovered in the sky for approximately 30 seconds and then gradually increased speed from a dead stop within one to two seconds, shooting off to the south west. I'd never seen anything like this in my life and it scared me.

My son & I were outside by my garage when I happen to look up and noticed a light that I thought was from a satellite traveling from the South West going to the North East. When I pointed it out to my son, he then said that there were a few more "lights" traveling along the same orbital path. But as we watched the lights, we noticed that there were even more "lights flying across the sky. It took the "lights" about 12 seconds to fly across the sky from where they appeared to where they disappeared. In all we counted 27 "lights" traveling across the sky.

A few nights ago I got up to let my dogs out. While waiting for them to do their business, I noticed what I thought was a plane flying swiftly through the sky. Its direction seemed to be heading north-west. But then, all of a sudden, it stopped. As you can see in the video it appeared to be hovering slightly westward.
