Sphere over North Las vegas, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Around 9:20 I was smoking a cigarette in my backyard when suddenly a bright flashing red/orange orb came flying around. It was flying a little low and made no noise. The orb backtracked, went down, to the side & then proceeded to head north. I called my sister & told to her look out the window to see if she saw what I saw. She only caught a glimpse of the UFO before it disappeared behind the mountains. It was a bright flashing sphere. It almost looked like it was flashing a signal & looking for something.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #155651). 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.
