Sphere over elyria, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I was in my living room I hear a helicopter in the distance getting closer and after 2 min of hearing how loud and close it was I looked outside and as I did in the opposite direction I see a flashing horizontal bright light of red blue and white and as I looked I noticed that it was an outline of a sphere shape with the lights coming frome the top and bottom and it seemed as if the whole object was rotating in a flipping motion as the helicopter circles around it a few times and as the object moved east in a slow speed while the helicopter began to give it space and as it was flipping in a weird way I noticed that it made no sound at all . I took a short video of it moving away

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.
