Sphere over Troy, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
on 02/26/2023 sometime between 4:10 AM and 4:16 AM I was outside my house smoking a cigarette and i saw 2 white orbs of light connected by a beam of white light spinning around each other. They flew perpendicular along the street i live on at an incredibly high speed, less than 100 feet above the ground and made no sound at all. These orbs rotated much slower around each other than they did move forward. Gave my heart quite a good thump I'll tell you that. I didn't even have time to take a picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #174953). 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.

Had my wife come out and she said it changed colors, but it was really at a high altitude. I am an instrument rated pilot and have never seen anything change directions like this. It flew circles and squares. Wow.

We saw something that looked like a cross. The object was black, no lights and no sound. It appeared to tumble and change altitude quickly. Object appeared to be less than 10000 ft and too big to be a balloon.
