Sphere over New Leipzig, ND
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had gotten in my hot tub around 5:45 AM and was watching the sky for satellites going over. I spotted one lone satellite going South to North , then I noticed two what looked like satellites going West to East. I thought this was unusual as I have never seen that happen before. Then I noticed two more traveling in the same West to East line , both groups had the same spacing. As I watched they kept coming, equally spaced except for a few. Every so often there would be two side by side. I watched for what I think was maybe 5 minutes and counted as at least 61 went by. Maybe more as I might have missed one or two. The most fantastic thing I have ever seen !!!!

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.
