Sphere over Big Bend, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Many other people in the campground witnessed it as we could hear people hollering from all around. The sighting seemed more like a light and less like a craft.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179031). 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.
