Sphere over Bourbon/Scott/Harrison County line, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My daughter and I were looking at the stars in her new telescope when we noticed a orange/yellow sphere shaped light really high in the northern sky. This was higher than where we see planes. It hovered for a couple of minutes,so we thought it was a star until it started moving very erratically. The same thing happened again the following night in the northeast sky over my house at around the same time. There is nothing that I know of that can move so silently and erratic. My daughter is now afraid to go outside at night!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158371). 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.
