Sphere over Washington Township, MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I've lived in this house for 12 years and my family and I have often noticed three lights floating in the sky above the lake we live on. We always thought they were a little strange because they don't move like planes and the lights aren't like planes either. They're a gold color and seemed to bob up and down before moving around some more and then disappearing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148713). 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.
