Sphere over Schaghticoke, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from work. It was after midnight. As I was driving, out of nowhere, a large bright ball passed from left to right in the sky in front of me. It wasn't up very high. There was no sound. There was no trail of any kind. It moved in a straight line and disappeared over a line of trees. Very fascinating to say the least
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152867). 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.
