Sphere over Jones, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw many bright white orbs in the sky to our northeast appear for 20-30 seconds then disappear in the same general location, but happened for about 20-30 minutes with orbs appearing and disappearing throughout the duration. They were not in a line, sometimes staggered in pairs, and sometimes clustered in a group of 4-5. Most were moving from west to east. A few moved from south to north. Two orbs moved from east to west, stopped, then moved from west to east before disappearing. Some orbs did change directions in a curved looking movement upwards behind other orbs. They would appear, glow brightly, then disappear. There was no noise. We saw a similar thing to what appears on the show The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch Season 3 Episode 10 at the 31:00 minute mark of the episode, but saw it on a much grander scale. Also saw a shooting start very near where the orbs were disappearing. My wife and I both saw the orbs, although I saw more than her. I woke her up to show her what was going on. The orbs came in from a few different locations but all disappeared in the same general location near the 15 Andromedae star from our view point. I would guess we saw 15 to 20 orbs appear and disappear. Most were bright white, but it did appear some had flashing red and green lights similar to an airplane, but those too disappeared like all the other orbs. We did eventually see an airplane track through the location, but were able to continuously see the airplane move through the sky and not disappear like the white orbs did.

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.
