Sphere over Hillsboro/Purceville, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While travelling on VA Highway 9 toward Highway 7, my wife looked toward me to say something and noticed many orange glowing disk like objects flying slowly in formation of 3 to 4 at a time moving in a generally East/Southeast direction. We pulled over and took video footage from the intersection of Highway 9 and 611 (Purceville Road) while facing North. Video footage capture their appearance and movement. I also contacted the CBP Air Marine Operations Center in Riverside, CA, to report this highly unusual activity. I have been in law enforcement for 27 years and have never seen anything like this. I was shocked and astounded when I heard that they could not see the objects on radar.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148706). 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.
