Sphere over Lake Tapps WA 98391, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am a 22 year old full-time college student and live in Washington state. I live nearby my local airport and I was used to the air traffic noise and seeing planes regularly outside my window. One day I was outside with my dog and I heard a ringing noise, I looked up noticed a group of spheres hovering in the eastern sky of my house. When I got my camera out to figure out what it was, I thought it was a bunch of flies buzzing but as I kept recording I realized they were flying in and out of the clouds. They moved like a hoop around a stick, spinning around something and were morphing as they darted through the clouds. I saw them open up, shoot out multiple spheres, resume their sphere form, and vanish into the clouds. This is only one instance of many I have witnessed. During the day I can only see them if I look for them or hear a ringing, and they are around my house nightly.

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.
