Sphere over Lee, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Letting dogs out at approx. 10:30 pm; power was out on property due to Hurricane Irma. Two generators were running on property. 2 lights appeared at about tree height, approximately 100' away. They moved around and left zig-zag white trailers behind them. After a couple of minutes, a third light came down from the sky from the south of where standing. The third light zoomed over to where the other two lights were located and remained in that area. All three stopped motion; it appeared that the three lights were communicating in some way. Became afraid and returned inside.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136152). 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.
