Sphere over Battle Mountain, -
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The balls of light would start randomly appearing then disappearing. Some of them would get bright and then kinda orange, then would again disappear, shortly after filming the first video and started the second one they started appearing and disappearing in a different spot kinda close to where they were coming from. I would say they are orb like but when zoomed in the have a different shape.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178369). 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.
