Sphere over Junction City, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was facing south looking down and a light shined above me enough to get my attention. As soon as I looked up almost 90 degrees I saw ano intensely bright white bluish orb travel from straight up to accross the horizon headed southwest. It was completely silent and I have never seen anything travel this fast ever. It was comparative to 2/3 the size of a full moon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130974). 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.
