Teardrop over Calera, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a red and yellow orb coming from the NE and heading towards the S.W. when I first saw it it was the size of the cherry on my cigarette and I had to run inside and grab my phone and my fiancé when I came back out side in 5-10 seconds it was already super far and started changing speed and moving like nothing I had ever seen . E- W then back N-S it went behind a cloud that you could see the stars though and never came back out .. it was really strange

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.
