Sphere over Libby, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 520 mountain time, my partner and I were driving home from the store. A silver, metallic orb was suspended about 3 stories across the street from our house. There were bright red, green, yellow blinking and rotating lights around the bottom of the orb. We got out of our car and walked across the street to look at the orb, trying to identify if we thought it was a drone or some kind of satellite. The object was hovering initially and then, without a sound, and very quickly began to move upward into the atmosphere and eventually appeared as if it had “star like” qualities, and then disappeared UP into space.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152526). 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.

Was watching sky for satellites and noticed what seemed like one traveling from southwest to northeast and one after another came over the cabinet mountains. There were no strobes or flashing lights like airlines have, also no sound at anytime. They were not in any specific formation but all were heading the same way what seemed pretty close. I’ve seen multiple satellites in the sky before but never that many so close going the same direction. Maybe they were high altitude military aircraft idk.
