Sphere over Timnath, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Please note, the image is only to convey the location. I was unable to capture the actual objects, and I think the marks in this photo are a reflection. Someone else must have seen this since it was broad daylight, close and right above the road. My friend who was driving was as surprised as I was when I pointed them out. They were like three circle or spherical shapes flying in kind of a triangle shape. She says she saw something that looked like it could have been connecting them, so it could have been one object. They did not look ordinary, whatever they were. It was too hard to see if they could be drones, or birds. I tried to get a video but sadly must have hit the stop button when trying to zoom in. I did snap a picture of the location. Strangely—while I thought I was recording the video—I could not see them on the iphone screen, though I could see them in the air still. I may have just zoomed in too far. I did get a picture of the road so the exact location can be determined and I'm hoping maybe someone else saw it / recorded it, or can check if there was drone clearance or something in the area.

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.
