Fireball over Cannon Falls, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Bright orange light glided across the sky from East to West that appeared almost like a plane on fire, but was an orb shape. As it neared I could see a pale blue color at its center, and it looked like flames. It had what appeared to be a halo off to the South. I saw it from a window and walked outside for a better look and heard here was no sound. I first appeared to me through the window as it came over the horizon of rooftops and then disappeared after it reached the tree tops of the nearby woods, so it seemed to be flying low.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #118078). 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.

After 4 hours of it hovering in the same spot a second object identical to the first one appears, they both disappear without a trace around the 6 hour mark, most bazaar thing I've ever seen in my life. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
