Sphere over Bryan, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 8:30 on Thursday evening (3/5/20), I was outside on my patio looking at the western sky. There were a number of stars shining bright. Then I saw one of them moving in a northeasterly direction. I assumed it to be an orbiting satellite. No sound, just a small light like a star. No flashing lights or colors. Then a saw another one following right behind it. I thought it a bit odd that two satellites would be on the same path and following so closely together. After I saw 5 or 6 of these lights, I thought maybe the military was on some kind of maneuver, but if they were planes they would have had to have been way up there. I live between Indianapolis & Detroit. And that was the direction of their movement, heading towards Detroit. Then I saw another one & another one & another one. I watched this line of lights for about 10 minutes. I counted 32 in all. All moving on the same path, heading northeast. They were not moving fast, just about the speed of an orbiting satellite. I don’t think was a normal event.

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.
