Sphere over Toa Baja (Puerto Rico), PR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had just gotten ready for school, and was on my way to the bus stop. It was pretty dark outside, the sun hadn't risen yet. I was ahead of my siblings, because I didn't want to be late. I looked around in the sky, and in the distance I saw 8 or 9 orbs of light in the distance. Each one was in a line, and they were spaced unequal distances from each other. At this point, I knew that it couldn't have been a man made object. I stood, and looked at it for a couple of minutes. Eventually, my siblings caught up, and they too saw the orbs. After a couple of moments, the orbs started to speed away and disappear. I told my friends on the bus, but nobody believed me at all. I haven't forgotten this day, and hopefully never will.

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.
