Sphere over Big cypress national preserve, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving down this very long route in the middle of no where florida I spotted these very bright flying objects. At first I thought they may be planes. There were four of them. But the circular eerily bright objects kept flying closer and closer appearing to touch, which obviously any plane or helicopter would not do. They kept making different movements coming in close then again far sometimes in circles. This persisted for about 7 minutes then I was unable to find them again. I star gaze very often and am even able to distinguish planets by looking with my bare eyes. I am almost certain this was a UFO sighting especially because of the strange patterns and closeness in flying.

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.
