Sphere over Ludlow, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One object seen hovering low in the sky. Very bright light, seen through binoculars as oval shaped. Sent out periodic beams of light from below the object and above the object, alternating. Planes seen to fly in the vicinity of the object from nearby Northern Ky/Greater Cincinnati Airport. The light brightens at times and sharp streaks of light project from all around the object at that time. As I type this the sighting is ongoing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132605). 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.
