Fireball over North Baltimore, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was the Fall of 2015, I believe mid-October, I was in my vehicle at the CSX Intermodal Rail Yard in Henry Township, Ohio, two miles west of North Baltimore, Ohio. I am in the habit of driving out to the intermodal and shooting random video of activity in and around the yard (opened in 2012). I don't always view my footage, unless something extra was observed. I didn't "see" anything so I didn't view this tape until some number of days, maybe months later. And I noticed the bright "flame" streaking through my view, as the camera was focusing in on some flying geese. I have always been a UFO "buff" observing a couple of interesting events over the years. But nothing really reportable and no photo/video. For whatever reason I have procrastinated doing anything with this video, figuring it probably isn't anything anyway. Well, I ran across it again today and happened to come across your site as well (from Facebook). So I will emai! l the video over. Please, let me know what you think. Email is the best for me to communicate. I get crap Verizon phone reception! Thank you for your time! ((name deleted July 2, 2019 (( Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)

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.
