Unspecified over Kittanning, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

Shooting star like a flare with a trail, traveling north to south and then it burned out. Space junk?
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.

The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
