Sphere over Beaver, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family and I were on Hwy I-15 on our way back to California from Park City, Utah, where we had spent the Thanksgiving holiday. My girlfriend decided to take some pictures of the horizon and positioned the camera on the dashboard to take a few pictures. After snapping four or five shots, she looked at the photos. She then asked me, “What’s that?” There was what looked like a bluish orb in 3 of the photos. One of the photos has what is either a glare in the windshield or an actual white UFO high in the sky. Funny thing is, we hadn’t seen anything prior to taking the photos. Hopefully, someone can explain what we saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137693). 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.

After crossing to the west side of I-15 the object changed direction to approach 6 or 7 military craft flying wingtip to wingtip toward the north. The object seemed to be approaching at such a speed that I felt sure it was going to crash into the military aircraft on the eastern end of the formation, but it came to a sudden stop as it got very close and continued to keep pace with the line of jets traveling north for a few seconds. It detached itself from the jets then approached more overhead toward Beaver, Utah when it entered a sparse cloud that was a little larger than the craft where it stopped then merely quickly vanished. The cloud wasn't affected by the vanishing of the object. The next day there was a lot of military aircraft forming a dome over Beaver County of various types of craft. This lasted for about two weeks during daylight hours, and I had the impression they were interested in trying to find information on the vanishing of strange craft of the day before. When I first saw the craft I remember thinking, "That thing has no wings." Thus was my surprise at first seeing the object. I also recall thinking there would surely be plenty of news about such an object as Beaver is a small town of about 3,000 population.
