Sphere over MOORESVILLE, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Adult white male, age 65, taking night sky pictures from his front porch. Facing east / northeast. Turquoise / greenish orb seen in the north east, moving up and closer into the east. Successive picture captures the change in altitude and appears moving closer. Path seems to be consistent, not erratic. Within a few minutes orb is gone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174981). 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.
