Sphere over Durham, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Watching sky for planes, as I often see. No stars were visible and there were no planes - the clouds thick. I saw a stationary light but was not wearing glasses. It then moved a few times in way that a plane cannot. I could not judge the distance. I was stunned and slowly reached for my phone without taking my eyes off of it. It then seemed to disappear or move higher into the clouds. I began flashing my phone's light and after a few seconds it returned. I began recording. It moved again and again, sometimes laterally and other times up and down into and out of the clouds. It disappeared and I stopped recording. This happened a few times. I was able to record it in several videos including it appearing and disappearing completely. Feeling the object was gone, I closed my window to review the video. Once satisfied I had actually captured it, I returned to the window only to see it again - now in a different location. As I opened the window, it di! sappeared again as if it was aware of me.

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.

As I was watching a thunderstorm, I saw a light appear in the sky. It caught my attention because it wasn't flashing or twinkling like an airplane does from a long distance, and it was staying perfectly still. It then started moving Southward across the sky, before growing fainter and turning red before eventually disappearing. In the first video I captured, I stopped filming when I could no longer see it with the naked eye, but it was still partially visible on video up to the end. A few minutes later the object appeared again in the exact same spot, and made the same Southward trajectory before disappearing - but this time it vanished almost instantly rather than fading. I live close to the RDU airport, and I can tell you that this object was absolutely not an airplane. In fact, I realized that no airplanes were taking off or landing (which I can see from my window) in the minutes leading up to this object appearing and about 20 minutes after it disappeared the second time. Then a line of airplanes began landing - as if the pilots were told to stay out of the airspace until it cleared. I captured one photo and two short videos of the object. Also for reference, I included a video of an airplane landing to show the difference between a plane and the object.

As i was grilling my dinner from 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.in Durham NC on Thursday January 19th 2022 i observed 30 or more circular objects that were orange in color traveling in same direction at different altitudes but roughly same speed. I would estimate they traveled at different altitudes ranging from 10,000 feet to 20,000. There was no clear path or altitudes just traveling in same heading of 268 degrees miles apart from each other. I also observed three small aircraft traveling in different directions at different times but i could see the unknown objects during this time. I made three videos knowing they would not be very good do to the conditions with my iphone but unable to download at this time. Personally I do not believe in aliens but in my opinion these were definitely UFO’s from my observation and experience. I do spend a lot of time looking into the skies for the beauty of the heavens and shooting stars… as far as my evaluation of what I saw I am a certified FAA licensed A + P mechanic with a Associates Degree in this field.

When I scrolled through my pictures to determine which ones to keep, I noticed that what I initially thought was a speck on my phone’s screen was a defined object falling from the sky. I have no clue what it is, but it looks more like a human than anything else I can think of. Everyone I have showed this to has recommended I send this in to get a professional opinion.

So I'm in my back yard. There is a sweet 16 going on in my neighbors backyard. I don't take notice of their excitement at first because they're talking about a centipede or Santa. Then my sister in law and her friend who are out there too start saying woah what is that?! And with my interest stirred I looked up and saw what was a long sting of lights in the sky moving across the sky at the same speed and length apart (which indicates to me that it is a large aircraft of some type- too large for us humans). By the time I got my phone out it started to disappear one light at a time from right to left. My sister in law did get a picture of it luckily. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

Bright white and red/orange lights flashing and darting around in the night sky. I watched it for about 40 minutes and took 2 videos with my iPhone. It was so bright!

My friend was leaving a business in downtown Durham, NC around 9 PM last night when he looked up and saw three "flares" slowly floating by above the old Durham Bulls Athletic Park. He filmed them on his smartphone and shared it.
