Oval over Lake, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
After hurricane Irma we lost power and had a generator running for the 2nd night in a row. The windows were wide open and the blinds all the way open. I could easily see outside. At 3:30 in the morning. I noticed a white glow then an orb ascend towards the sky. It was about 100 feet from where i observed this. My wife saw the same thing the following night but much closer. No sound from the orb. Similar to the sighting in Lee County.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136302). 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.
