Sphere over Belgrade Lakes, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw multiple white and red spheres dropping from high in sky quickly to mid point on horizon, then stopping and shooting off quickly horizontally, then stopping in an instant, dropping almost to horizon, blasting a bright glow of light and then shooting up back into the stats at amazing speeds. Black Blackhawk helicopters arrived 8/22/19 and flew up and down long pond in the belgrade lakes region for an hour as if searching for something.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148446). 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.
