Sphere over Rowe, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 17 March, 2018, I was taking sunset photos on top of Glorieta Mesa on State Hwy 34. I didn’t notice anything unusual until later that evening while I was viewing the photos. In one there is a glowing blue/green orb on the ground. Four minutes later the orb is rising up into the clouds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #139220). 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.
