Sphere over Berlin, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Various shades of Blue lights traveling northwest. Followed it for about 2 miles till it was lost then reappeared on the order zen more than 5 miles away. It would flash from a central position and then change locations. It did this maybe 6 times. 2 times it lit up and radiated light for long enough to tell it was moving very fast. Lost it then found a clearing in the tree line and could see it far away radiating about 5 beams of light from a central position. Then disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161556). 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.
