Sphere over Charlotte, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On Saturday night, around 7:15pm, I went out onto my back deck to grill out. As soon as I hit the deck, I immediatly saw a line of large round orange balls, heading from north to south towards our airport. They were in a straight line as far as I could see. From left to right the sky was full of them, I would say about 15 to 20 orbs, but each was staggered behind each other, all at the same altitude, approx 1,000 to 2,000 ft above my location, and approx 75 to 100 feet apart from each other. As soon as I saw them, I went back into the house and yelled for my wife to come out here, she came immediately and saw what I was seeing. As they flew by the last ones about 4 or 5 of them started to go dim and then they went totally dark, it was mind blowing, they had no sound and were very bright orange they had no red, green or white nautical (sic. navigation?) lights on them. About 5 or 6 minutes later, I called 911 and reported what we saw. We spoke via telephone with this witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere, and sober-minded. We suspect that he is a highly reliable witness. PD

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.

My husband called to me to come out back last night (@9:45 PM) to 'see the light." What we saw was three (3) lights in a circle enclosed in a circle. My husband said he saw it 'move jerkily back and forth, and then stopped moving. When I got there, it had stopped moving and I saw those three lights, and then they disappeared and the object we saw was one bright light. At that point, we started guessing what it could be...Airplane was ruled out, it was not moving, no noise, it wasn't a copter, for the same reasons, it wasn't anything we could figure out, including a satellite. We both started taking photos with our cell phones and later I was back in the house, I used my finger to spread the light in the photos closer in. It was an amazing blob of light, and in each frame for each photo, they went from a point of light in the sky, to these amorphous blobs of light, very bright and pretty stationary in the sky.

My daughter and I were present for a baseball game. Weather was VFR and clear. No clouds. Aircraft departing Charlotte airport which was running a southern flow were passing overhead in a NE direction shortly after departure, presumable on a standard departure procedure. My daughter spotted a small dark spherical object. I was not able to initially locate the object and so joked that she was seeing things. After a few moments of scanning the area, I too located the object. The object appeared above aircraft paths in the area moving slowly in a NNE direction. Was observed for approx 5 minutes. The we were unable to locate further.

It was very quick and flashed away after 2 minutes. My cats went insane, making a lot of noise and tails puffed up.
