Sphere over Brookline, NH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw this object outside my 2nd floor bedroom window. It was very bright with green and red lights (not blinking), spherical shaped that went horizontal past the window about 150 feet away. I thought it was a drone but drones don't move horizontal without tilting. This is a very rural area and not much in the area. There is a private airport about 1 mile away, but this also did not move like an airplane or helicopter. Also, aircraft would not fly that low to the ground. I estimate about 3-4 feet in diameter.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135691). 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.
