Sphere over Barnesville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At the height of low flying airplane, one solid illuminated white orb travelled a steady and slow speed with no sound or blinking lights. This is the third time in the past three months we have witnessed this occurance. Twice it travelled east to west, once was north to south. Each occurance has been roughly a month apart and at night, roughly between the hours of 8:30pm and 11pm.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170774). 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.
