A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving, straight ahead of me I saw, red-orange fireballs coming out of the sky, then they would stop and maintain their altitude, hovering. I said what is that? and one of my daughters replied, "Do you think its meteorites? But why would they stop in the middle of the sky?" The other daughter mentioned, "Mom, it's not a plane, the lights are not flashing, there constant." It was one fireball after the other, the first couple of orbs that came down first already formed a square, while others kept coming out of the clouds, but they were organizing themselves, in a line, it looked like they formed some type of constellation. The big dipper. Meanwhile, more red orange fireballs, at this time I was really scared and asking for someone to film it and looked at the time, it was 6:48 am and started counting them, 14. I looked in front of me at the sky and they were there but not in my camara. I asked my daughter to zoom in, but all of the sudden, the color changed to yellowish orange. They were all there hovering waiting for some thing. Then they all formed a "V", bright yellow/orange lights and completely disappeared. Five minutes have gone by and I didn't see anything, All of the sudden I saw 2 military airplanes flying towards the same exact direction the Orbs went. I was never a UFO believer until yesterday. I went to work really shakey with my experience. I called channel 7 news and reported it. I spent most of my day looking for other answers to convince me it wasn't UFO'S. All the pictures of other experiences looked exactly the same as what my eyes seen. My daughters and I witnessed it together, all 3 are believers now.

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.
