Sphere over Camp Geiger, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
During the school of infantry we weren’t allowed to use tobacco. During a field operation we racked out in an open field, I stayed up while we were supposed to go to sleep so I could put a chew in my lip. Everyone was sleeping at this point as we had a long day of training, as I was enjoying my dip, I saw a silent red globe at low altitude moving across the sky, and following right behind it was two fighter jets most likely f16s. I was the only one awake at the time which is aggravating because I have never seen anything like it even 6 years later in all my time in the marine corps.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170475). 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.
