Fireball over Beaver Falls, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Approx 3:20AM one orange fireball was noted rapidly dropping out of the sky over Beaver Falls area and it completely vanished at approximately 1000-1500 feet. No sound was noted. No tail was noted. I watched it expecting to see an impact but it vanished. I happened to just be letting my dog out at the right time to see it. Whole event about 3 seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124522). 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.

Was looking at what I thought was a star. Then realized it was slowly moving. Went to take a picture and it moved fast from the sky and almost vanished.

Observer 12 bright orange aircraft I assume. It is hard to tell altitude or size but would guess under 3000 ft. Made no sound. Not moving fast but moving at a decent clip. The lights or light were not really defined, kind of blurry. Seen by myself and my wife. I have video
