Sphere over Orr, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Staying at a cabin on Myrtle Lake, I was enjoying the night air as I've done many times over many years on Myrtle. I was looking at the lake then turned my head back to land. About 35 feet in front of me & 15 feet above was a silent glowing orange ball. A bit larger than a basketball. It made no sound. It hovered for about 15 seconds then quickly took off thru the trees over the lake. I thought it was odd. Couldn't make sense of it as in those seconds I stared at the lake. I turned my head away from the water and it was there again. This time only silently hovering for about 5 seconds & it took off again in the same direction. Still cant explain what it was. Never experienced anything like that.

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.

Orr, MN
Driving home from Minneapolis, MN, on the phone talking to my wife. Couple hundred feet in front of me, and about 150 feet above the road, there was a craft that was probably hexagon shaped craft, lots of lights, multi colored, and lots of different spinning parts. This happened on a very clear Minnesota night. No other lights around. Probably about 6-8 rings underneath spinning in opposite directions. There was only one craft. As I approached closer in my vehicle, my XM radio lost satellite single (sic. Signal) for a moment, and it’s never lost satellite single there before as I make this trip 2x a week for last year and half. Once I got closer, it all of a sudden of vanished, kind of like warp speed.
