Sphere over Louisvile, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw two round bright orange with yellow streams of light coming off heavily fogged area. Neighborhood had very dim lights normally. Off in the distance there were purplish or almost rust colored clouds. Still here and it's creepy. Also, the area was behind a neighborhood and tennis club, but the outside courts are in the front, not the back. Nothing but woods are behind them for about a good mile. Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134995). 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.
