Sphere over Windsor, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
6:00 a.m. eastern sky, watched what appeared to be a drone? but the bright white light was far too bright and high in sky. At first notice, was well above tree line then it started climbing in elevation straight up into sky. I researched information online on what it could be, could be a comet. I do not believe it is extraterrestrial. Venus and Mercury converge on this day, but movement is unlike planetary orbit.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144142). 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.

I was star gazing with my boyfriend in his front yard and out of no where there was this giant orb of light in the sky. At first we though it was a shooting star or a satellite but then it started to move in a zigzag across the sky really fast. After a few seconds it was gone.

I was on an on ramp to get onto 91 south in the Windsor Locks area and I saw a flat dark disk with two bright lights on it. I initially thought it was an airplane however when I pulled my car over to take a longer look it had disappeared. There were no trees or faulty sight lines blocking it--it was too high up in the air. It disappeared in less than ten seconds.
