Sphere over East Boston/Boston, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am currently still watching as I count 6 or 7 very bright glowing orbs. There are at least 4 currently above/around the Tobin Bridge and 2 near the Charles River/Logan airport direction. They are hovering or moving very slowly and then dimming out and disappearing, only to reappear. There is a subtle, but steady whirring. almost electrical frequency type of noise that is getting louder when they disappear. Me and my husband saw 1 last night as well, over the building to the left of my house. I took quite a few videos. There seems to be planes/helicopters going by but not stopping. One bright sphere is now hovering over the top of the Tobin Bridge. It appears there are 2 over the Chelsea area as well.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137062). 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.
