Sphere over Mt. Pleasant, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
8:45 pm, Sat, Aug 6, 2022 Two glowing orange (like the color of fire, but not flickering and no discernible smoke) ballish objects silently fly from SW to NE over the neighborhood. One followed the other. Flight path was largely a straight line. No small flashing lights such as aircraft have. Neighbors Tina and her sister Tonda also saw them. We watched them until they disappeared into the distance. If they were "Chinese lanterns," they weren't buffeted by any winds or breezes. Again, one followed the other. Est. altitude 1000 feet. Sighting duration was about 4-5 minutes. Thank you for your sighting report. Please make a note of your case number: 124039 You have taken the first step in helping us find the truth about what is going on in our skies and on our planet. Thank you for reporting what you observed! Your friends at 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.
