Sphere over Saratoga, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We got startled and turned on the headlights, and it dissipated ((sic. disappeared?)) over a small hill. We decided we would get out of there quickly, after this happened. On our way back to town we decided to go to place that over looked town. From this spot you could see all of town. All of a sudden, we seen one bright sun colored looking light that split into two difftent orbs. We turned around and sped toward town to get a better look. When we topped the hill, you could see town again, and it dissipred going down the hill.... Then they were both gone. Possible hoax report, we suspect. Time intended by witness may be 4:30 p.m., and we have changed the time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous, and provides not contact information, so we cannot confirm details about the alleged sighting. PD

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.
