Sphere over saucier, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking into our new telescope when my wife said what is that? I turned around and saw a dozen orbs or spheres approx. 20 feet in diameter and very bright in perfect formation traveling from west to east at approx. 150 mph. and 1000 feet from the ground. The craft appeared less than a mile from our view point. A small airplane was seen traveling at a greater height heading south westerly and may have also seen them. the lights continued across the sky to the east and then dimmed and vanished completely within plain view. My son came outside and we then observed about 6 other bright lights very high in the sky two of them in close formation as they would sometimes become very bright then vanish entirely.

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.
