Fireball over Airville/Pequea, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The wife first spotted approximately ten numerous gold or orange colored small balls or spheres directly overhead down to the horizon (neighbors roof) moving slowly from the south heading in a north direction. No pattern or formation just a random group. When I arrived on the porch there were at least ten in sight passing directly overhead with many more coming into view. Not a sound could be heard from these things. Two or three turned to the east. Most stayed on course passing overhead and out of view. At least two or three just vanished as they were coming towards us. One stopped a few hundred yards in front of me and ejected four tiny balls one at a time which fell in a spiral like motion but went out before reaching the ground. We have no idea how many passed over before she walked out, but we did see easily over twenty of them. I did get about 16 bad photos of the last two.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #114203). 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.
