Fireball over Williamstown, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My six yr old though she was seeing a falling star and when we turned to look we saw a bright orange colored ball and it went faster and just disappeared. Five of us saw this and all agreed it was not a star or plane but something unknown. .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111226). 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.

As I was driving towards Berlin, Vermont, me and my wife saw a very bright blue sphere above us shoot acrossed the sky as fast as a shooting star. The odd thing was that it was completely cloudy out so no stars were showing to begin with and this object was much bigger and lower to the ground then anything I have ever seen. It was as if it was maybe a couple hundred feet above us.
