Sphere over McKees Rocks, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Witness had been laying on a lounge chair for quite a while looking at the sky and watching airplanes fly by when suddenly a silver object coming from the north crossed overhead. It was moving at a similar speed and height as the planes that fly by as they approach the airport. However, it appeared much smaller than a passenger aircraft. There was no sound and it looked very silvery white in color and appeared to be oval shaped. However, witness could not discern a definite shape and doesn't know if it was some sort of balloon, but it appeared to be moving at a steady pace and a steady trajectory and not floating. Witness had to stand up in the middle of the video to continue watching it beyond the tree and it was quickly out of sight within a few seconds. Witness doesn't know what it was but I thought it was worth sharing with somebody who might be able to figure it out. (MUFON)

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.
