Sphere over Lyerly, GA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was on our way home from having dinner in the town of Summerville, headed towards Lyerly we witnessed a bright white object, looked like a large beautiful star shining, as we got closer to the town of Lyerly the object got bigger and a orange beam resembling a laser shot out down towards the area object was hovering above, we weren’t sure what we just saw so we pulled over and I got out my phone to take pictures/video as we rolled down our windows the object took off faster then a plane over the mountain range towards the Menlo area, the night sky was clear and full. The rest of our party in another vehicle also witnessed this.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177747). 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.
