Fireball over Coventry, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Then another one appeared to the southwest of the first one. They both just hovered. No noise. I noticed that it was very cloudy this night as I did not want to confuse these objects for planets. As I was reaching for my camera phone, a long streak of light came down from the sky. Assuming it was a meteor. Had nothing to do with the balls of fire in the night sky. It shot down approx. 100 feet in front of me into the woods. A few minutes later, the balls of fire headed East then disappeared. I did take a picture and there is an unexplained light in it

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.

On the morning of December 19, 2019 between 6:00 and 6:30 am EST, I was sitting at my kitchen table looking out the sliding glass door towards the southeast when I saw two lights resembling car headlights hovering just above the tree line. The lights were whitish blue and slightly oblong horizontally. I checked every possible cause for these lights (reflection, car headlights, streetlights) and could not explain them. I watched them for approximately two minutes and then I got the feeling that I was being observed. As soon as I had that thought, the lights shut off like someone flipped a switch. They didn’t shoot off into the sky or slowly fade. I am 60 years old and have never seen anything like that in my life!
