Fireball over Utica, MS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I had her run and get my cellphone as I watched from outside on my porch. I began recording the lights with my iPhone 6s. I recorded for 1 minute and 5 seconds until the last light vanished in the distance. There was no noise from the lights at all. They did not appear to move like any aircraft I have ever seen. I'm a 32 year old female and this is this is a first for me!

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.
