Sphere over Veneta, OR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was standing in front of my house looking up through the oak trees that line the street. I was looking up through the branches on a sunny day with the sun being blocked out by the branches. I was watching pollen, bugs, spider webs, and other Earthly objects moving through the trees. I noticed a white orb moving in a llinear line going from south to north but changing path from flying straith to erratic to stoping and changing directions and moving in ways that none of the other objects I had been watching for ten minutes by the trees was. This ggot my attention so I began to watch just this object (it was near the sun so it was hard to observe without the the tree obscuring the sun. The object stopped as if it new I could see it and I was trying to ascertain the distance to the object (former military with the Cav scouts so I am good at ffiguring out how far away something is) the object imploded on itself and disappeared right before my eyes. The object never mad a sound or left any sort of contrail. The object was moving behind everything else that I was watching.

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.
