Sphere over Goodspring, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
All of a sudden it changed its direction and at an absurd speed darted upward at an angle toward the south for about 2 sec then hovered for about 2 sec and then fast like a shooting star went up and at the opposite angle toward the north out of view.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150394). 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.
