Sphere over Delmar, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I observed three bright orbs over the ocean. They were in a triangle pattern. I believed them to be Milatary Helicopters training because they were stationary in mid air. Then the one on the North side of the triangle went to the North at a speed greater than an standard aircraft it dispeared in a matter of seconds. The remaining two made erratic movements and then shot straight up and suddenly disapeared. They were round and bright white like a star. I am not sure what they were but they are not anything I have ever seen.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175853). 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.
