Fireball over Clarksville, TN

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I had previously posted about four lights in a triangular shape sometime in November. This evenings sighting was much different than the last and much longer. My husband began loading his car with laundry baskets, when I hear him call my name and come see "them" again. I am sure it is highly unlikely to see UFO's more than once but it seems to be a re-occurring theme here in Clarksville. I went outside and saw a slow moving fireball type aircraft in the sky with the occasional firework going up. It seemed as if though during this time we saw this light everyone paused their fireworks. After a minute or two the fireball type aircraft completely vanished in the night sky. We thought that must be it this time but then another appeared from the western treeline moving towards Oak Grove, KY, (we are fairly close to Oak Grove, KY, and our house is situated northerly). This second fireball type aircraft made no noise whatsoever as did the first. We then saw a! plane flying towards into the direction of the UFO. The plane made noises as a plane would but the UFO was completely silent. The UFO rose into the sky in a eastern direction. Then a third came from the exact spot as this one had and at this moment the second UFO vanished without a trace. The third UFO did as the second had and followed the same flight path. And just as the second had vanished when the third appeared so did this third when a fourth fireball aircraft appeared from the same exact spot. The fourth UFO followed the same flight path as the previous three had. It was during this time a plane had circled around into the direction of these UFO's. All during this time you can clearly hear the sounds from the plane and still no sound from the UFO's. Also, while the fourth had followed the same flight path as the previous, a helicopter coming from the eastern sky began flying towards the direction of where the UFO's were appearing in the western sky. Unlike the plane, the helicopter did not reach in time before the fourth vanished. We waited for a fifth UFO but that was it. No more appeared. It seemed so for our neighbors as well because after this "show" of UFO's ended, the neighbors began lighting their fireworks more so than during the appearance of the UFO's. This is becoming more unsettling, here in Clarksville. We do live near a military post, and everyday you can see small planes and helicopters flying over head. We are used to it, of course. We have lived here for 10 years but these occurrences are much different than seeing planes and helicopters flying over head. If there are others here in town seeing these same objects, please don't be embarrassed to post because you are not alone in these experiences.

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.

Bright light bigger than a star. Stayed in position for about 1 second. Then shot straight up into the night sky getting smaller and dimmer until i could not see it anymore. This lasted about 3 seconds maybe 4. It was bigger than a star and bright white. The speed it traveled straight up must have been incredible. I have know idea bow fast it could have been traveling but based on where it was and how fast it went straight up and became dimmer and smaller until i could no longer see it. It must have been traveling faster than anything we have know thus far. This is not a joke. I saw it. It was real. I dont bevieve in ufo's but i cant explain it.

The craft was triangular in shape with 3 bright circular lights aligned with each other and the the smaller red light blinked behind them. I witnessed the craft hover above a farm field for about 12 seconds without any sounds. And suddenly it began to move from about 1000ft off the ground in a banking movement. The craft on multiple occassions flew in the direction of my car but then would bank inti an opposing direction. I suddenly saw a military helicopter flow over it as if it was searching fir it. After seating in my car recording from the highway for over a minute i decided to drive off where i headed home, and from there i could still see the craft moving in the sky. It was surreal.

Walked out my front door and saw two orange lights side by side with what can only be described as a orangish red comet tail shooting down from the sky very low over my neighbors house across the street. We see things like this all the time but much higher in the sky. This one was very low and just disappeared

While driving to work, I noticed a large wing shaped craft with 4 or 5 green lights across the front of the craft.I tried to stop and get a video to no avail, upon arriving at work I saw possibly the same craft but with red lights across the front. This time I caught it on video. It is listed on YouTube as Monday night lights a 38 second clip, the name of Mike Rogers which is NOT my real name. Best viewed on a larger screen.

On the morning of October 10th, at approximately 545, while sitting on my front porch, just north of Tiny Town Rd., I saw a small spherical object of light, at a height of approximately 1,000 feet. This object illuminated a very bright white light and sped away in a North/Northeastern direction, at an alarming speed. There was no vapor trail, and no sound, only a narrow band of light behind the object as it sped away. It did not exit the Earth’s atmosphere, but rather disappeared with another bright illumination, as if it were exiting our dimension. This is the second sighting that I have witnessed from this exact location. The first was in September of 2019, but was not reported, as the September sighting was only witnessed by anyone other than myself.
