Fireball over Midway, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw what looked like a fireball coming out of the northeast. It was very quiet and looked to be about 4,000 feet in the sky. Make no sound what so ever. It was headed southwest.I saw it about 12 miles from the Pittsburgh airport. After it passed me and got a few miles away the light faded out.the light looked to be in the front of the flying object. It was a red orangish fireball type light. It was followed up by 2 more flying objects. They all were a minute apart and about the same elevation and same light and following the same flight path. A few days earlier there was 5 of these things flying over the same area a flight path and same lights.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110721). 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.
