Sphere over Bridgeport, NE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Just wondering, but out towards Scottsbluff there’s a noticeably bright, ultra bright, light. Being this is late, I don’t believe this is a planet setting on the horizon. Doesn’t appear to be a meteor, because it’s not moving. Maybe space debris reentering from orbit, but would it just hang like that? A weapon launch, or a flare, or some kind of denotation? Too big to be a flare. Anyway, my husband says it’s the brightest landing lights he’s ever seen.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162068). 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.
