Sphere over CO

A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.

The report, as filed

The sky, the stars, and the moon were clear with no clouds or mist. We witnessed a UAP that was moving quickly across the sky from northwest to southeast. It was an orb like structure with blurred light all around it. It was moving quite fast. There were no blinking lights on it to indicate it was a plane, helicopter or other known flying object. Due to the blurred light around it, we agreed it wasn’t a satellite. The color was a warm white. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177837). 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.
