Sphere over ST PAUL, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
i WAS LAYING DOWN IN MY RV LOOKING UP THROUGH THE SKYLIGHT WHEN I SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SOAP BUBBLE FLY THROUGH THE SIGHT OF THE SKYLIGHT WITH A STEADY RED LIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A STRUCTURE OF SOME SORT THAT THE RED LIGHT WAS EMANATING FROM SUSPENDING WITHIN THE BUBBLE. IT WAS FLYING AT A STEADY SPEED MOVING NORTHBOUND, NOT QUITE SURE OF IT'S SIZE AS I COULD NOT TELL HOW HIGH UP IT WAS . I GOT THE IMPRESSION OF SOME SORT OF SURVEILLANCE, BUT WAS NOTHING I HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160310). 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.
