Sphere over Duck, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were standing on the beach, observing the stars and night sky. Off to the East high in the sky, multiple white lights faded in the view, move at extreme speed circling each other, moving at sharp angles, left to right and back to left. At one point, one white light split into two red orbs, that moved independently away from each other, then in sharp angles at a high rate of speed, then came back together into one white orb again. A couple of them shot off to the north and out of sight in a second. Eventually, they all blinked out one by one and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #164530). 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.
