Sphere over Pleasant City, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This is the second time we have seen a light in the sky to the west of our house. Both times have been to the west but not in the same location. This orb was the brightest thing in the sky by far. I mean by a wide margin the brightest. At first you think it must be a helicopter with a search light (note. very small community with no police helicopters). Light is mostly stationary for the entire time (until you can't stand to look at it anymore) but it does seem to dance slightly. Object at times even seems to have a search light that moves around. Object is white light but seems to have a red and green corona at times. That's all I can say about it. In previous jobs I have worked dusk to dawn in remote locations where all there was to do was look at the stars and this object was nothing I've ever seen. No star has ever been that bright, no satellite or planet "twinkles" like that. I'm dumbfounded by it. (I have some cellphone video of object)

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.
