Sphere over Brookings (south of), OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I stepped out to patio at Smith river facing west, and noticed spheres moving in alignment moving faster than aircraft or satellite, at a high atmospheric level. Our best estimate is over 30 craft moved in a westward direction, but disappeared before leaving line of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151997). 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.
