Sphere over Section, AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Standing in back of a friend's yard and we saw what looked like 2 white lines turned into string of lights into what appeared to be a sphere from a different angle and then it appeared the lights were coming from the middle of a saucer shaped ship that moved a little further before lights turned off completely
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174471). 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.
