Sphere over Eagle Nest, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was coming out of a friend’s house after a bible study and looked up and saw a bright light moving across the sky. I was facing North East and it looked to be traveling North West, I’m guessing it was about 500-600 ft up. It was a single bright white light, too big and bright to be a satellite, ISS or any orbiting man made object. Definitely not an airplane because they have one green light and one red light that blinks, this was not blinking and one bright white light. I’m sending a photo and video that I captured on my mobile phone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164662). 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.
