Sphere over Uluru / The Olgas (Kata Juta), NORTHERN · Australia
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
1 perfect silver/metallic orb with a slight circle indent in the middle of it. This circle indent was visible due to the angle of the sun casting a shadow in the concave area with a little bit of light shining into edge/lip of the feature. It seemed very high up, the cliff we were looking at was 75m (est) high and this looked maybe 5 times high from the naked eye. No noise. Smoothly and promptly darted off out of sight behind the cliff.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173841). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
Australian aerial sighting records answer to the Freedom of Information Act 1982. 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.
