Sphere over Puryear, TN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
There was a big, bright white orb with a haze around it, quickly moving across the sky to the south. I took a video of the object and when zooming in, there appears to be an object in the center creating that haze around it. Once the object got across the field it vanished into almost a mist. Images uploaded, are separate frames of the video.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166495). 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.
