Fireball over Kenneth City, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my back yard taking the dogs out before going to bed. I looked to the north and a glowing red/orange ball of light caught my eye, just coming into view from behind the tree in front yard. The object was moving slowly to the south, very silent, with a flickering like flame look inside a clear sphere. As the object continued to move slowly to the south, a second one came into view separated but running parallel. They continued moving south in unison. I ran inside to get my partner as another set of eyes. We came out and the objects were now directly overhead. They started picking up speed and altitude. One started changing color to green/blue an takes off faster and changes direction slightly to the southeast. The other then starts to pick up speed, still heading due south, starts changing color to the blue/green like the other. Then both objects fade or blend into what looks like a group of stars to the south.

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.
