The report, as filed
Tennessee- Meigs County- Decatur- Hwy 58… My son called me to come get him from ball game tonight, while driving on our way back home about 9:17 pm, my attention was drawn to the sky, We saw a round green to yellow ball falling from sky. no tail on it, perfectly round, color went from green to yellow, no sound, no flash from it at all and as quick as it appeared it then disappeared. While it only lasted about 15 seconds it was amazing.

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.
