Sphere over Hartland, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My friend was driving me home from a team dinner at around 9 p.m. It was raining out and the roads were bad. We turned a corner and all the sudden what seems to be an orb, darts across our windshield from left to right. We both were stunned for a few seconds, in shock, and got the chills. It was like a fluorescent white color, and a very bright light/orb that flashed by in front of us. We could see it pass the whole windshield but it was incredibly fast. Both of us were very taken aback by this experience. Some told us it was an owl, but we both strongly disagree. I know what I saw and it was not an animal. It was an out of this world experience.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155761). 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.
