Sphere over Pond Eddy, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
White light in the shape of an orb was moving in different directions across the sky for about 30 minutes and then disappeared. It looked like it had white/gold strands coming off of it. It reappeared about an hour later in a different part of the sky. It was flashing red and green and white lights. It then disappeared again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #179443). 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.
