Sphere over Chander, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I observed a round object moving east to west across the sky at approximately 11:45 pm on May 14, 2023. It was lighted flashing about once per second changing color from orangish brown to blueish gray. It appeared to be somewhat larger than an airplane. I used my Apple 11 cell phone to video it for about 30 seconds until I could no longer see it. The night sky was cloudy. The color change appeared to be somewhat fragmented, not changing color all at the same time and the object appeared to have somewhat of a rolling motion.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175788). 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.
