Sphere over Glenrock, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Just past sundown observed very bright white light in same area of western sky as normal Venus, but it was far too high. Upon checking with binoculars, it was a spherical object white in color with dark markings in middle. It almost looked like a miniature version of the full moon, however the moon was crescent and visible near the horizon. Object moved slowly from west to east across southern sky before eventually disappearing. Object had intermittent bright white lights blinking on body. Speed was very slow, not a normal aircraft or satellite speed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #142754). 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.
