Sphere over Lone Pine, ID
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The sighting was insane, After noticing these amber/red orbs, things get blurry. We talked to each other at length because both of our memories seem to differ. He said he pulled over to watch but I thought we kept on driving. Regardless, at 3 pm, we were still in Lone Pine, at a local camping area just walking around when my memory is clear again. We totally forgot about the appointment for approximately 6 hours somehow and seemed to forget hours of time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179273). 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.
