Sphere over Willard, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
For a month, or longer, I have been seeing orbs of light all around my house. I have had several people come to my house to look at them, and my parents and sister have also seen them. I have went outside while they are there's d they seem to follow me everywhere I go. This has been going on every night. They float up, down and in different directions, change shape and color. There is a large one that stays pretty much in the same area every night but the smaller ones move around a lot. Last night people were telling me they were seeing them in Willard, Hitchins, and Grayson, Kentucky, too. They are completely encircling my house tonight and they did last night too. I've seen lights shine up from the ground light the clouds and a big orange or red light come on above the clouds so bright you can see it through storm clouds We have urged the witness to obtain photos. We will proceed with the case, once photos have been forwarded to our Center. 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.
