Sphere over Crittenden, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was observing the sky while driving down the interstate, the sun had already came above the horizon and I noticed this bright orb in the middle of the sky, it did not have the shape of a plane but I continued to keep an eye on it to try and see the telltale signs of blinking red lights which are usually on planes. The object had no blinking lights and I thought for a second that if it was a plane maybe it was heading directly towards me and that's why it didn't seem to move. It wasn't long after that thought the orb disappeared and reappeared some distance away from its original position. It started to climb in an angle at a rate of speed to quick or a plane. Once it reached a certain altitude it stopped again and vanished. Not vanish as in it took off or left my line of sight but vanished right out of thin air, like it was able to turn on a cloaking or camouflage system instantly.

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.

On the night of september twenty third, at about nine thirty p m I was taking my dog out and seen brigth white moving from the northwest to the southeast. At first there was 2and I hollered for my Wife. When she got to the back porch the 2 had disappeared in the southeast. That's when we saw 8 more appear in the northwest. We watched them move across the sky the same has the others and disappear then 4 more appeared and moved across the sky and to same spot as the others and just vanish. They moved at a very fast pace but they were all in a somewhat straight line and somewhat evenly spaced in the 3 separate groups we saw. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Seen an upside pyramid shaped craft appearing black in color with lights flashing in a pattern around the top with a blue light in a v shape on one side. Was at a very low altitude with low speed and completely silent. Seen something resembling a shooting star about 10 minutes before seeing the craft. Watched the craft as it moved away and looked as if it was looking for something in the distance and emitted a bright bluish light lighting up the sky before disappearing.
