Sphere over Hatboro, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
2 chrome/shiny spheres spinning in a horizontal axis very rapidly, while also moving very rapidly north. They shined back, reflecting the sun as they spun. They were perfectly round: no strings for balloons and quite honestly, they’d be ugly balloons… not decorative. As I stood there trying to process what I was seeing, they made a 90 degree turn and vanished. I did not see them “fade away”, but they were gone from sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179426). 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.

It appeared to be v shaped with a center tail moving all over and some stayed stationary. It kinda freaked me out and ready to jump in the car and drive away.

At about 9:00 pm on 10/10/20 I looked at the sky above my front yard and saw a bright light, colored very green move in an arc across the sky. It was large and moved moderately quickly. It was shaped in a circle, but my impression was a sphere. I had only a small viewing site between two large trees. I observed for only about three seconds. I am a long time sky watcher, and have seen meteorites, fireballs, space station, planes, Chinese lanterns, weather satellites... but I never saw anything like this before. I am a teacher and a college graduate, as well as an outdoors person. I was so puzzled I posted about it on facebook, and asked if anyone else had seen it. Seven other people in my area responded that they had, with all the same details. I find that remarkable. I asked a family member, and she found a site that took reports on meteorites. 58 people in my general tri state area reported very similar sightings, with same particulars.

We were sitting by our pool trying to watch fireworks but they really didnt happen. Observed in the near sky what appeared to be a fireball followed by another fireball then another fireball. Then when my wife pointed it out i was sure it was unusual. I started recording this on my cell phone.we noticed that there was zero sound or vibrations from the objects. They seemed to be flying from the left to the right in what appeared to be a planned route. I later super slow motioned frame shot from the video and produced a still images to what i truly believe was not from this world. They appeared to be circular shape objects. One still appears to have some sort of windows or something

Was preparing a fire in my fire pit, was looking up at the ash going up and there it was just hovering there, it was higher then the planes flying by, It was shiny and looked white to my wife n I, when we looked through are binoculars it was real clear, round dark center with brilliant light coming from out the sides, also flashes of white light also seen coming from the sides. It moved back and forth and as we watched it got higher n higher then just disappear.
