Sphere over Osceola, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a superintendent for a steel erection company. I was watching my men working on the roof of a 45ft tall building when my eyes were drawn to an object silver in color moving from north towards the south at a steady rate of speed. No contrail was behind this object so my curiosity was peaked, it appeared to be about 15miles away. I pulled out my phone to take a picture of it. It changed from silver to translucent then immediately shot up in the atmosphere out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149886). 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.
