Fireball over Rockville Centre, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband first observed object that appeared as a red burning ball with no tail. He called for me to come up to our 2nd floor window to look. The object was moving horizontal to the northwest and not descending. I thought it was a plane on fire that was going to crash. It then disappeared behind our neighbors house and was no longer in sight. My husband & I both went to college and have resided in our home for 40 years.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #119001). 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.
