Sphere over MI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was taking my dog for a walk in the morning, let him off leash in our side yard so he could poop. I was standing by the fence watching him and a yellow-white orb with the a "glow" that formed a ring around it flew at VERY HIGH SPEEDS from farther than I could see in the sky down above the the tree line two fields over from me. It came to SHARP stop and instantly shot out a ?plasma? like yellow-white shockwave that propelled into a ~ 330 degree turn shooting the craft at insane speeds back up out of sight within a second. The visual of the propellant lingered longer than the craft did. There was NO sound. I drew a picture (it's terrible quality) and titled it the date/time when I got back inside because the event happened so fast I didn't want to forget it because I kept thinking "Did I really just see that?" The glow of the craft made it impossible to see any details. It's common for aircraft to fly over my area, and I've even seen pilots getting hours in on UAVs during severe weather like heavy fog, all aircraft are loud. This UFO was unlike anything I have ever seen, and as far as I'm concerned broke the laws of physics through it's speed, maneuverability, and lack of sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174954). 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.

Thought it was a shooting star, very bright. Until a second later in it's southbound trajectory it reversed it course to a north-northwest trajectory. No sound or boom. Much quicker than any shooting star that I have ever seen.
