Fireball over Slatington, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My daughter and I were taking our nightly walk and when coming down a hill three orange orbs came from behind the hill in front of us. We were looking south and they were traveling east. They were first traveling very close to one another. One took off south another east and the last just seemed to disappear. I got to pictures not very good though. This is the 5 the time in two year we and other witnesses have seen them over Slatington, PA. They were very bright orange. Very cool to see.

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.

Around 22-23:00 near the town on Slatington, Pennsylvania, on the 16, 17 or 18th of August, 2016, my wife and I saw an object with 2 solid red lights and a flashing white light attached to it. It was headed west. It made a 90 degree turn to the south without slowing down. I wouldn't try to estimate the elevation or size of the object. The hard 90 degree turn is what made it mysterious. It could possibly be a drone, I don't think it was though. A few months ago we saw an aircraft at night in the same location, with the same red light pattern fly over the house and leave a long lasting contrail. Thank you for your time and attention.

Light moving in all different directions at different elevations. It may have been more than one but it was pulsing. Like a strobe light with no pattern. I was driving and we saw it. It was pretty intense.
