Sphere over East Monroe, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
One mile down Monroe road coming from Leesburg, OH. Me and my boyfriend were standing on the porch smoking a cigarette when a light appeared (bright orange orb is what I'll describe it as) above my neighbors tree appeared, it was by itself. We thought it was a drone at first, so we watched it as it moved to the left of the tree and over the neighbors house but then out of nowhere three more "orbs" appeared in a perfect diagonal pattern. (Like the big dipper) They didn't move , and the first orb we seen stopped slightly to the left of the other three. They glowed for only a short two minutes, then literally just disappeared completely. All at once. There were no sounds that we heard. But all of our dogs were barking and looking that way. We were in shock,and it happened so fast we didn't have time to record. Never seen anything like it out here before and have no clue what it could've been. It was only 6:30pm.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138623). 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.
