Sphere over Cape coral, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was a spherical, very shiny, very bright, metallic, looking object. That’s what caught your attention, the fact that it was very shiny and bright even though we could tell it was very far away as fast as she could grab a Phone it disappeared. She alerted me to the object so I went outside and didn’t see anything for several minutes and then there it was we both saw it very quickly. It was not moving. It was stationary and then boom it was gone! I suppose it could have been a meeting, a light making it so shiny, but it appeared more metallic, than lit.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176213). 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.
