Sphere over Carnation, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in the back yard watching birds and saw two spheres up in the sky. They were traveling north to south following the same path. I was able to pull out my phone and took a few photos before they disappeared behind the trees. I was facing west at the time. I routinely saw small aircraft in the sky around this area and found it odd that these spheres made no sound as they traveled. They seemed low in altitude. It was very clear to me that they were physical objects and could see the glare and shadow cast by the sun on the objects. Both were perfectly spherical, grey in color, and were somewhat reflective.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177861). 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.
