Sphere over Joshua tree, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At around 4 am my partner and I were sitting by our fire looking at the constellations and saw a white orb floating with the wind that was low. It was bright and a yellowish white. It was floating south west to north east. We live in north Joshua tree. Near the military base. It was going direct south west to north east. It was going with the wind but also like it was heading to the coordinates. Directly towards the base. We are close ish to the base

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.
