Sphere over Silas, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I was driving home from Waynesboro MS when she noticed a round yellowish orange ball amongst all the stars. I then noticed it as well right before it disappeared abruptly and another popped up to the right for two or three seconds then also abruptly disappeared followed by another one showing up farther to the right all in a line. All three looked identical. We then continued to notice them later down the road two more times just behind the tree lines.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161989). 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.
