Sphere over Sagamore Hills, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We just so happened to look at the security camera monitor and saw this ball of light hovering in our front yard. We used our phones and recorded for just over 6 minutes. We thought it was a bug or something at first but I looked again and there is no way it was a bug. It hovered in the air, moved left right up and down. I could see light coming from this ball on the house across the street. About as big as a basketball.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #172681). 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.

Live feed from security camera shows ball of light/orb hovering around in our front yard. I have video of this happening, thought it could be a big at first but ruled that out. This is definitely a spherical bill of light that moves up and down and side to side, gets closer and further away. Never seen anything like it

One light, not super bright though, being chased by three helicopters. At first I heard what sounded like an army tank going down the street and I ran outside to see three helicopters flying almost directly over my house and they were very low. You could see the flashing lights on the helicopters, and I could see in front of them a smaller light, that was not flashing at all and they were following it. Just as quickly they went over the trees across the street and I could not see them anymore. You could hear the helicopters for about 30 seconds or so then the sound was gone. It's night here so I could not see any markings at all on the helicopters.
