Sphere over Charlton, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I'm reporting this for my friend. In her words: Came outside and was surveying the sky when I saw a bright sphere that was almost pulsating which seemed unusual. Kept watching and it continued to split into smaller lights that circled the larger sphere. They all seemed to rotate around each other at times occasionally joining and combining into one sphere. It went on for about a half hour or more before they joined a final time and the lights went out.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168588). 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.

It was the shape of a disc with green and red lights on each end and the bottom of the disc was illuminated by a white light. It was just hovering about 100 yards over the tree line. So I slowed down to watch it and it just sat in the sky for a minute I watched it until I drove by.

Looking north toward the lights of Worcester, MA, no stars were visable only the moon. A perfectly round, very bright, reddish orange object appeared from the east moving west. It was slow and very steady. There was no trail. It was very bright when it appeared, crossing the sky keeping the same altitude and just suddenly disappeared. Never getting smaller or dimmer.
