Fireball over Frisco, NC
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting on the beach at night looking at the horizon. A bright fireball just appeared right above the horizon and then split into two equally bright circles and then disappeared completely after about five seconds. About two minutes later, it reappeared to the left of us and a lot closer than before. It appeared as one and just before it split into two again, something like a duller red spear shot off of the fireball and traveled a short distance to the right and angled towards the ground and then it disappeared. Then within seconds the fireball split into two and disappeared again.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112473). 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.
