Sphere over Montague, NJ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the evening of March 17, 2017, upon arrival home from work, I turned onto Cemetery Road from State Hwy. 206, heading toward my home, when I saw 4 bright white orbs lined up from the mountain in diagonal fashion. Then they suddenly scattered in various directions. After they disappeared, 2 white orbs, 2 red orbs and 2 gold orbs took their place. The 2 gold orbs took off toward the west. The 2 red orbs took off toward the north. The 2 white orbs remained. The gold and the reds returned. More white orbs spawned from the stationery white orbs. The new white orbs seemed to bounce along the mountaintop then way up in the sky. They seemed to travel in tandem. At one point 10 white orbs gathered a cluster of 5 pairs above the mountaintop. This went on for several hours with orbs breaking away from a pair or cluster and seemingly dancing across the sky. Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
