Fireball over Munfordville/Glendale (between), KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
As I entered the construction zone I was taken by surprise, when, at sunset, in my rear view mirror, a fireball just seemed to appear, falling very slow down through a cloud, then continuing to fall. There seemed to be a orb, just to the left of it. There was a almost blinding light in my rear view mirror so bright that I had to look away, I was frightened at what I was seeing, and still I was not thinking UFO. As I exited the construction zone, just above the treeline on the southbound side was a saucer, 50 to 60 feet in diameter, rotating clockwise with multicolored lights. Amazing!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #129519). 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.
