As reported

Fireball over Wellsboro, PA

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

The report, as filed

Orange fireball traveled from west to east traveling faster than a plane, no sound. Then 5 min later another one taking same path went over then disappeared. Then a couple minutes later another went over in same spot. Got out my binoculars but still couldn't make it out. There was 3 in all that me and my wife saw.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #110929). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

I also recorded a video of the beautiful scenery only after reviewing you can see an object dart out of the trees at crazy speeds directly into the sky
