Fireball over Bozeman, MT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At 9:05-9:12 pm on June 8, 2014, my wife came and got me, saying that there were either ufo’s or military action going on outside. I went outside and saw 2 bright orange object moving away from each other. She said she had counted 11 objects moving up into the sky from several directions. I went and got my camera and got a couple of movies that were ok, but the auto focus kept going in and out, making it hard to discern the objects, and the lighting wasn’t that good. The odd thing about the last object we saw was that it was coming up on the south side of the mountain range, as if it had just launched from the ground between us and the foothills of the Bridger mountains. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite eloquent and sober-minded in his description of the sighting event. We suspect that his report is an accurate portrayal of what was seen. PD

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.

I have to share with you guys what I saw in the sky on the way home from work in Bozeman, Montana in the morning of June 2nd, Thursday. It was around 5:45am in the morning. I thought I saw UFO. A little shiny metall round or something that didn't move, just still in one spot. Color...grey or silver that looks like dark shiny metal or something. I was on West Oak Street on the way to North Rouse Avenue. There's a few warehouses, small restaurants and stores like a tiny mall. I drove past a building that blocked my view for about 5 seconds. After I passed a building, it disappeared completely. No time to take a picture during I was driving. FYI, I am a deaf paranormal investigator.

The object appeared between the stars Betelgeuse and Alhena. For about six minutes the object moved around changed colors from red to yellow to white then disappeared. The object looked like an orb of light moving sporadically.

At 10:49pm my fiancee, 30 M, and I, 26 F, were walking back from viewing the lunar eclipse. We headed out around 10pm so only out there for max 30 minutes viewing the moon. My fiancee had randomly stopped in our driveway and then looked up. That when I heard him go "beautiful what the fuck are those lights right there?". I turned around and looked up and saw these lights that looked like they were rotating and blinking. I automatically grabbed my cellphone and recorded since this wasn't my first time seeing ufos. It only lasted mere seconds when he pointed out it was disappearing. It just vanished into the night sky as if nothing was there. I automatically stopped the video sent it to my parents and then looked up the starlink satellites to double check that it wasn't that. The starlink satellites had appear above us around 10:00pm and lasted around 10:05 pm so these were not part of it according to the website. Which I provided both the website recording and my actual recording.

We went outside to watch some fireworks that were going off for the new year celebration and I looked up into the sky to the western or southern part and I saw an orange hovering object and I told my husband and daughter to look and then they saw it as well it was low and round and orange and hovering. It seemed close to us I asked my daughter to go in the house to get my phone and by the time she came out and I got video to work it went halfway up towards upper sky and then it disappeared into a tiny dot. They were also intrigued and said definitely it was UFO! It Was very strange indeed not the first Ufo I have ever seen but definitely a unique experience! Just wondering if anyone else in Bozeman Montana saw it tonight?
