Sphere over Williamsburg, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object appears to be stationary and a plane flew alongside/above it. Seems too high to be a drone. First sighted while playing catch in the yard, a neighbor also saw it and could not guess what it might be. Is still in the air.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168092). 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.
