Sphere over Lake Quivira, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were standing on a beach by a lake and we saw the UFO object in the sky. Coming behind it from a far but near distance were 2 fighter planes. We watched it go and suddenly it disappeared but the 2 fighter planes did not. We only got a good side view of it. It was black but almost transparent and there was only 1 UFO. And it made no noise.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155912). 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.
