Fireball over Fresno, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Yes I'm 46 yrs. old, my brother is 52, and my mother is 71. We live in the same house. This past Monday night. I stepped out of the house to smoke a cigarette. I noticed some plane or something with a bright orange light slowly coming towards us and steady climbing. Then I realized that this didn't look or act like a plane. In awe of this glowing orange globe it seemed to start climbing a little more rapidly. Then I saw a second, then third one all following the first one it seemed and at a substantial equal distances and in a perfect straight line. I ran to get my brother and told him to hurry and come look at this and with the tone of my voice he turned and ran for the door to follow me. I ran to the backyard which is the south side of the house and they were still in sight approximately 4-5 miles to the south. All of a sudden the lead one who was climbing in altitude almost strait up but at a slight angle seemed to level out turning in a southerly directi! on then just vanished. The second two were on the same path behind the lead one and 20-30 seconds later they also disappeared. My mom ran and looked through the back window when she heard the commotion. They made me not be a skeptic anymore. You know I've always wished that I could see a UFO just once. And now that I've seen one, I'm not so sure now. It's kinda cool but also really scary!!!

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.

I was standing outside and looked up into the sky and seen this lights moving around like almost spinning I took out my phone and recorded what I seen but the problem is you have to slow it down to see them they where the same color as the sky and make it difficult to see unless you know what to look for there has been 5 times more after this that I have seen and recorded UFO/UAP in the sky when I look back and slow them done you can see things that are black shooting off of and object that pass the screen

After watching the video it seems to me the green object ejected three white objects. The green object seem to be frightened when an airplane flew by. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Every night for the past two months my family and I witness triangular shaped objects in the sky and also orbs that flash. The triangular shaped objects seem to move around in the sky with invisibility but you can still make them out. The objects seem to follow us around the yard.

So last night around 10:30ish pm, my husband and I heard a sound of an object that hit the ground in our enclosed laundry room that has French doors that lead to our back yard. We think nothing of it and don’t react until 3 minutes later when we hear it again. My husband goes to check and finds nothing out of place. Weird but not worrisome. Then about 11:10 pm I go to the kitchen to put something in the sink and when I look out my kitchen window, I see two red lights moving simultaneously to the left toward our tenants cottage. It startled me and I jumped back and looked again and it continued to move in the same direction. They appeared to be the size and circumference of a lid to a pickle jar. It was about 20 feet away from the window. We have four outdoor sensors but none of them went off. I asked our tenants if they were out with a flash light or thought it might be a lights from an emergency vehicle but it was two steady, circular lights. Not flashing, not blinking, not a stream. They were two lights in tact.
