Sphere over Nevada, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bluish-white sphère about 2’ in diameter travelling 200 degree bearing. Moving at high rate of speed, approx 700-1000 ft. Winds were out of the north at ~10 knots. Only able to see it for a few seconds, lost it in the sun.. First thought was a helium balloon but moving way to fast for it to be a balloon.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175569). 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.
