Fireball over Douglassville, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My family and I were driving south on 662 between Oley and Douglasville. We noticed 4 orange glowing balls, directly over an open corn field. They were hovering over the field for about 2 minutes before we lost sight of them, and did not move. They appeared to be about the size of the balls you would typically see on electrical power lines, and they were formed in a staggered line.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111492). 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.

THUS, DURING A CLOUDLESS, CLEAR, STARRY NIGHT, WITH VERY LITTLE WIND OR HAZE, WITNESSED A SINGLE GLOWING OBJECT COMING FROM THE SOUTH TOWARDS US, ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY, COMING NORTH, ESTIMATING ABOUT 2000 FEET UP, AND RISING SLOWLY, WHILE DROPPING A FEW SPARKS NOW AND THEN. IT LOOKED LIKED IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SMALL PLANES ENGINE BURNING SOME SAID, OR LIKE A NEIGHBOR SAID, A POSSIBLE BURNING 'CHINESE LANTERN', RELEASED BY SOMEONE ON THE GROUND. I TOOK A SNAPSHOT OF IT WITH MY CELL PHONE, BUT IT WAS TOO SMALL TO SEE IT, AND AS I WAS READY TO CALL 9-11 AND REPORT IT, IT THEN ROSE VERY HIGH IN THE SKY, GETTING VERY SMALL AND JUST VANISHED OUT OF SIGHT. TWO MINUTES LATER MY SISTER IN LAW YELLED OUT THAT A 'SECOND' LIGHT JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE WAS ON A SIMILAR PATH AND IT DID THE SAME THING AS THE FIRST. AS WE ALL WATCHED IN EXCITED AMAZEMENT, AS THIS WAS NO COINCIDENCE WE THOUGHT, AS IT TOO ROSE SLOWLY 'UP' AND BLINKED OUT. WE ALL SAW A SATELLITE GO BY, SOUTH TO NORTH VERY HIGH UP. (MY BROTHER WHO LIVES THERE SEES THEM ALL THE TIME, HE TOLD US), AS WE ALL WATCHED THE SKY AS A GROUP FROM EVERY DIRECTION. NOTHING MORE WAS SEEN AND WE TALKED ABOUT PERSONAL OTHER "SIGHTING" THE REST OF THE EVENING. ...END.
