Sphere over South Saint Paul, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On September 20th at about 9:45 PM in South St. Paul, Minnesota, I witnessed what I would describe as two dimly lit reddish orbs traveling from north to south at a moderate speed. They looked to be about the size of my index fingernail, held at arm’s length. I would estimate their altitude at 600 feet above the Mississippi River Basin, as I was on a bluff looking east over the river. Their angle above the horizon was near 15 degrees. Also, they seemed to tumble over each other as if they were linked somehow. About 45 seconds elapsed from the time I first saw them until the objects went out of sight. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite serious, and sober-minded. PD

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.

UFO seen above house with no noise and lights and did not hit power lines some how. Unbelivable sight especially as a young kid.
