Fireball over Middletown, IN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Looked as if something was traveling across the sky on fire bright orange flame-like and moved in a jagged motion continued across the sky in southwest angle. Never changed until it was behind the cloud and we could no longer see it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #116137). 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.
