Fireball over Key Center, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving home after work (3pm-ish), I witnessed an intense white multi-colored light which seemed to break apart or spatter as it traveled south-east above Olympia. The bright white object seemed to shed smaller colored pieces of the main object as it streaked across the sky. This event was witnessed by myself and at least 3 other drivers, as we all pulled off the road due to lack of visibility from the blinding light. No contact was made with the other witnesses.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114326). 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.
