Fireball over Winooski, VT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object looked like a giant fireball. Just appeared at random in the sky at 10:17pm 7/9/2014 over Winooski, VT. 1 object, No noise coming from flying object. Looked exactly like an orange fireball about 1/4 the size of the almost full moon. Watched it move very quickly directly across the sky (never went up or down, just across). It lasted 2-3 minutes and then just disappeared. 2 people saw this. Appeared out of nowhere and disappeared the same way. It was low to the ground, not as high in the sky as an airplane or jet and had NO noise at all. Not even a little bit. I'm scared to death! I never believed in aliens before but now I'm wondering..I already know we sound crazy! I just hope more people report this sighting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111372). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.
