Sphere over Las vegas, NV
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I met my spouse outside after my niece ran to tell me something was in the sky, a UFO, I came out front to see there was an orange-ish red-ish craft in the sky above the Las Vegas Strip, it was staying in one place, Hoovering. Thecraft looked like it was surrounded by a fog and halo of red/orange light. It was a circular in shape. The craft faded dim fairly quick and disappeared, after less than a minute, it showed back up more towards the lower left. After the photos were taken it disappeared. We did not see it again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175996). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Single solid white light seen high above all aircraft did not emit any flash of light nor con trail behind it. Light did emit a coned shape plume of light as a short tail. Flying east bound from above Las Vegas. Moved at the same speed of aircraft in the area. Did not stand still during flight light a comet would appear. Light did not burn out and was to slow for a meteorite. Filmed above building to show distance and speed of travel.

We noticed a sphere in the north west sky, remaining stationary over Las Vegas as we were traveling south into town. It remained for quite sometime, my girlfriend tried to video record it and take zoom photos. It remained until we got to her home in North Las Vegas. We called the kids out and all tried to zoom it in our phones, zoom pictures showed three distinct rings one inside the other. Very strange. We went in the house briefly and came back out and it was gone.
