Sphere over Douglas, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
2 of my friends and I were standing on my balcony smoking a cigarette, when we all saw this extremely bright orb or sphere slowly come over a ridge in the South and as soon as it fully broke the ridge top it shot straight up into the clouds then quickly shot down to the top of another ridge in the West, hoovered for a minute then streaked across the sky to the South and then shot North as fast as you could turn our head's.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136762). 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.

First I would like to say I don't want anyone to think I am crazy. This is not a hoax or a joke, I just want some answers and to know that I am really not alone. On the evening of April 27th, 2021, I saw an object, Mars was on my left and I was looking straight ahead, but I was looking up, and the object was going straight across and then made a fast circle in the sky went up and then disappeared. On the evening of April 28th, 2021, I saw four objects. Two of the objects were flying one behind the other and then two side by side and then another one. I have also seen the same kind of object flying extremely fast in the sky, and in some cases producing a bright white light. I also have video of this happening but my phone is so crappy that you can't see the objects I am filming. I was hoping that maybe someone had the technology to filter and see these objects so that people do not think that I am trying to play a joke or report a hoax but that this is seriou! sly an ongoing phenomenon that I am witnessing. Thank you and like I said I hope you do not think I am crazy or lying. I would just like some answers. I also have a true story that I have experienced a close encounter of the second kind. Like I said I'm not trying to gain any attention or trying to be someone that I am not or lie about anything. I honestly just want people to believe me and to not think that I am crazy. I have been deemed mentally disabled because of being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder because people do not believe the things that I am telling them and they think I am crazy or schizophrenic. You can believe what you want to but these things have really happened and I have really seen them. I also have witnesses from the staff that are here at the current mental health group home that I live in. I had them come out to see these things that seem to only happen to me or when I'm around, and they have also seen them to. That is all I have to report I ! am sorry if this is all jumbled together for I do not have Mic! rosoft w ord. I just needed to tell part of my story. There is a whole lot more. I will take lie detector tests or any other kind of test that you would like me to to prove that I am not lying and that these events have really happened. Thank you

Outside in a small wyoming town with little to no light pollution. My family and I see in the moonlight a somewhat transparent object in a crescent or saucer shape (maybe) fly across the sky then change direction. We waited, then it returned randomly for the next 45 minutes. No lights on the craft, just a distortion of the stars around it. My family and I have never seen anything like that, and know how planes act at night. Low flying craft with no lights or sound, with very little visual indication unless you see it at the right time. The 4 sightings were all at different elevations and different spots in the sky. We thought it was clouds the first time, but the other sightings reassured us of what we had seen. Fast moving, maybe visible in the sky for 10 seconds on each pass. As there was no light, we could not capture on camera.
