Sphere over Salt Point State Park, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witnessed a orange orb pulsating over the ocean. I actually was standing outside having coffee, and this object gave me a weird feeling, so I went back inside our Airstream trailer and filmed this object through window and window screen. One key note is that as it got closer, I noticed it pulsating, but also could a red interior coloration.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133781). 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.
