Sphere over Lowell, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Passing by Dexter Lake OR I saw 2 people outside looking up. Over the Dexter power dam on lake. There were 3 orbs; a tiny one was approx. 50' above the lake; the first one was size of a VW bug followed by an erratic moving one, then the tiny one. Slowly heading up the lake towards the Lookout point dam. They continued to move up into the Willamette Natl. Forest in the Cascade foothills, until we could no longer see them. The small ones blinked out at times and were all silent. They were definitely NOT fireworks. SIZE OF VW BEETLE totally round, very bright dark orange red. Dogs were disturbed and barking at them. The largest one was approx. 100' above the water at all times. As we observed it moving west to east , it zoomed closer to us! We freaked out ran inside house! Came out after few seconds it was back over lake moving east until it left our view. No sounds and lasted 20 mins. to 30 mins. I was on a podcast telling about it.

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.
