Sphere over Big Sky, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I just finished working in Moonlight Basinski Resort cleaning a home for my business. I was headed to the trash area finishing up my work for the day and noticed a white orb shaped object up in the sky. It was moving in an upward motion at a high rate of speed. I watched it for about 45 seconds before I grabbed my phone and began recording. I recorded for about 15 seconds before the object disappeared. On top of this there seemed to be a satellite moving in a different direction that I could not see with my eyes but my phone picked up the object on my camera. This may have been unrelated but it should be noted since it is also included in the video.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138689). 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.
