Sphere over Graham, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While walking our dog between 7-8pm - not sure exact time - we saw a bright white light in the sky. It was at similar elevation as the aircraft that frequently fly over from seatac but further to the east. It appeared three dimensional- like an orb. It was silent and very bright. It was not flying in a straight line - rather it was more erratic. It was heading away from us, but we were able to see the light. No strobes. NOT an airplane. We stopped and watched it for several minutes, then it faded within 10-15 seconds and was gone. The bright whiteness of the light caught our eye.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130396). 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.

At 21:58 I was outside in my front yard smoking when I saw what I thought was an airplane flying south. As I watched it I couldn't see any blinking lights and the other planes that I could see flying in the same area had blinking red or white lights. The craft that I was looking at only had one really bright white light and no blinking lights. I watched the light / craft until I couldn’t see it any more. I watched it, trying to see if I could see if it had any blinking lights. I was not able to see any blinking lights. The craft was too high in the sky to make out if it had any kind of shape.
