Fireball over Cromwell, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Approximately at 9PM EST, I looked out the window and saw to large fireballs in the southeast sky. The sighting only lasted about 10 seconds. They both faded out. I wasn't able to judge the two fireballs altitude but distance from us was plus or minus two miles. This is my fourth sighting since 2008 and the 3rd time I've seen fireballs within two years. I used the Skyview Free app to get an idea of location in the sky. It was just left of Sagittarius. Whatever these are it is amazing every time. My wife also witnessed this event in addition to the others. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
