Sphere over Indian Beach, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family and I saw orangish red balls of light hovering over the ocean off the coast of Topsail Beach, NC. It started out with a couple of these balls of light, but then they multiplied. New balls of light would appear and others would disappear into the darkness. This occurred for 10-15 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179473). 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.
