Fireball over Yorba Linda, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Fireball falling to earth, stops mid fall, hovers and then engages in horizontal movement, disappearing and then reappearing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center. 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.
