Sphere over Myrtle Point, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object was traveling too fast for known aircraft, yet too slowly for a meteorite. It had a bluish hue around the object. I fully expected the object to crash land past the ridge near my residence. I did not hear any sound emitting from the object, nor did I hear the sound of an impact.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158878). 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.

Around 9:30 p.m., my wife had stepped out for some fresh air, she came back in a couple minutes later and said she saw what she thought was a small shooting star or a beam of light. She went back outside and a few minutes later I followed. She says there is a blinking light up there. I look directly overhead and see between the constellations Lyra and Cygnus (closer to Lyra) what appears to be about a 3.5 magnitude star completely blinking on and off. The light was blueish-white in color with possible hints of orange and thru binoculars is just a pinpoint of light not moving in relation to the numerous background stars and is clearly blinking 'on and off'. After about 10-15 minutes of watching, it faded out but never appeared to move at least not any perceivable amount. Never saw any more beams of light or other anomalies.

At approximately 9:54 PM on Tuesday, June 23, 2015, I observed an object traveling very slowly in a south southeasterly direction. The object when initially sighted was almost due west of my location in Myrtle Point, Oregon, at an approximate distance of less than 2 miles. Some high cirrus clouds were present and the sky was not totally dark yet. The object initially had the apparent size of about 1.5 moon diameters. Object was at about 15-20 degrees elevation observed from my location, and very slowly traveled south southeast. Best guess at altitude, less than 5000 feet. The object gave the impression of being roughly rectangular shaped, with the long dimensions oriented north-south. When observed early on with binoculars, the object gave a hint of a grey to charcoal black color. Multiple orange lights were observed at various points along the object and a bright red flashing light, perhaps at the rear or underside, was visible the entire duration of sighting. The orange lights appeared to change position/orientation or turn on/off as the object traveled, giving the impression that it may have rotated or turned left/right on a few occasions but always maintaining its south southeasterly course. The red flashing light did not appear to be perfectly rhythmatic as it seemed to occasionally vary the length of duration on or off. The object spent about 20 minutes moving south and slightly east towards the Siskiyou National Forest area until blocked by trees and my local terrain.
