Sphere over Sheridan, WY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While outside tonight observed an object moving from South to north. Thought it was a satellite then realized another trailed behind it then 2 more appeared behind then at regular intervals more came from the south more or less in a line. Behind the 5th light there was a smaller light chasing it but at a different path more diagonal and dimmer than the one it trailed. Only 2 of the 11 observed got very bright then dimmed back to a modest bright light whereas the rest didn't seem to fluctuate in brightness. They moved quite fast and steady accross the clear sky til they disappeared one by one just like they appeared from the south.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155362). 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.

We saw three bright lights hovering in the near distance over Wendy's in Sheridan just after it had gotten completely dark outside. We were stopped at a stoplight, watching the craft. At first we thought it was a plane, but it was just hovering - not moving at all. Then, suddenly, it started coming straight for us at a pretty good speed, descending as it went so that by the time it was over our car it was only about a one-story house above us and we got a good look at it for a couple of seconds before it vanished. It looked like a standard hexagon, only squished down so it was flatter. It was dark green in color, with four bright lights on the underside of it. It also seemed metallic. It made absolutely no noise whatsoever, despite how close it was to us. After it passed over the car we saw no trace of it again. No lights, no sound - nothing. It was like it had never been there. We have evidence of this object on our dash cam, all the way up until it was rig! ht over us and we were able to see it clearly.

I pulled off the road and parked to scan the sky but saw no trace of the star looking light source.

I was waking up for a the morning hunt 10 miles south of the Tongue river reservoir when I was looking up at the sky to the east and observed 4 or 5 bright lights suddenly appear in the sky out of no where. The objects where spaced apart at equal distances and traveling south to north. I looked away and closed my eyes for a moment and looked up again and watched them continue to travel north. After a minute or two of watching them more began to appear at the same place the others appeared, approximately 10 more began to appear one at a time at equal distance and speed from each other but there were a few traveling in pairs. Watch them travel north until they went out of view. All of them emitted a bright steady light as they traveled. There were no blinking or colored lights observed that would indicate conventional aircraft.

Bright as the moon, took a full minute to cross from north to south. Even illumination entire time, no sound, no shape just a bright light with slight golden hue appeared to be very slow moving but once overhead disappeared within 25 seconds solely on distance, clear night.Not a shooting star, no flashing lights, no noise. Estimated moving around 5k feet.

A round object that looked very much like a white doughnut. It seemed to stay in one spot in the sky, but slowly went further away. The sun appeared to be reflecting off it, but after the sun went down it still glowed white. There were many red and white lights flashing around the bottom of it.

Morning of the first of December 14, in daylight, I was driving down a dirt road, heading south, when I looked up to the sky and seen a bright white line to the southwest at a 45 degree angle. The sky was clear of clouds so it wasn't a cloud. It was long and wide as a pencils lead from where I sat. I first thought it was the space station, but it was not moving at all. It was high in the sky. As high as the clouds would be. The government should put people around the country to witness and study what is going on. These U.F.O.s could effect geothermal, etc., etc earth., processes. One woman said a U.F.O. went over her once and she felt a weird sensation. Most likely there gravity countering technology. Who knows maybe ghosts people see are actualy Space Beings. We don't know. This summer I think I will stay out nights to see what I can of U.F.O.s. Possible contrail?? PD
