Fireball over Richfield, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
12 red objects moving slowly all in a single line formation from south to northwest. At the same point in the sky all would disappear one after the other. One object stopped and waited for another in the middle of the formation, then proceeded itself to fly to the same point in the sky and vanished. All 12 objects made zero sound.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111045). 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.

November 9, 2021, 8:25pm. Black Triangle shape 300 feet wide 20 feet thick. Seen at 100 foot altitude viewed from 200 feet away traveling 10 miles per hour south east for 3 minutes. Glowing white lights on each corner pointed down. On top, each corner had white blinking "aviation" lights. The craft was all black. Sides were flat and seams could be seen like sheets of sheet metal. An industrial electric motor type hum could be heard. There were multiple witnesses. To me, the vehicle appeared to be a United States military TR-3B craft. Video was taken but of poor quality. The audio was good.

When driving home with my husband and daughter in the evening (it was dark), in the eastern sky we saw a quick, bright flash in the shape of a rectangle. This happened three times. The rectangle had two distinct lines -- one at the top and one at the bottom, and the middle almost looked like the aurora borealis and something from the Matrix combined.

Saw a tube like object traveling south to north at a not very fast speed...steady, but not as fast as a jet plane, nor was it that high...no wings or tail like a plane...looked white in the sun, not silver ...no vapor trail...just moving steadily...observed until it went out of my sight. I am a school bus driver for special needs child in wheelchair, and was outside of my bus lowering the lift and looked up at the beautiful blue sky when observed. Asked the student's Mom to help me identify what I was seeing...she could not, but saw it also.

At 4:55 AM, in Richfield, Wisconsin, a cigar shape craft was seen hovering above a farm. The craft had big, bright lights. The lights seemed to be flashing or blinking in a pattern. The light pattern continued for a minute and a half and then the lights and craft were gone.
