Sphere over Yokohama, KANAGAWA · Japan
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Spherical ball (possibly) hovering and appearing to spin above Apartment towers. Short iPhone video available (unsteady, though...)
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177243). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Japanese records answer to the Act on Access to Information (1999). 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.
