Sphere over Hobucken, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw a silver (shiny) sphere/ orb moving at very high speed at about 75 feet of altitude over the waters of Bay River heading towards the Pamlico Sound. No sound, very fast, straight line level flight towards the Pamlico sound. Moving from the NW to the SE.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176937). 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.
