Fireball over Cle Elum, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
2 objects glowing orange traveling north/northeast went in and grabbed my dad and son so they could see as well, when they came out we all witnessed 5-7 more objects traveling the same path and speed, the last two objects were traveling a little quicker and changed their flight path just slightly but still traveling same direction. They seemed to be about a mile and a half away (relatively on the Stuart range/dingbat basin area) no sound whatsoever came from objects.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124978). 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.

I was by the campfire with my son when I saw a moving star. I thought I’d use this time to educate my son on satellites in the sky and how the look like moving stars. After watching for a few seconds I told my son somthing is different. It started to look larger, brighter and closer. Then it looked like it was slightly moving with added light behind it. It still was moving slowly like a satellite or weather balloon in one direction across the sky with no crazy up and down or side to side movements. But somthing was really different about its look that I’d never seen before in the night sky. I started to get intrigued and grabbed my IPhone to capture on video. At this point it had passed over us and caught the second half of flight. I started to record and was even more amazed when I zoomed in as it looked like a grey cylinder object. From the video it looked like it was moving, but that was just my movements filming. It stayed it’s constant course from what ! I could tell, but seemed closer than I thought when I zoomed in and out. Then it just disappeared when it traveled at a distance my phone wouldn’t pick up anymore.

I also reported to MUFON, and email to Coasttocoastam.com. This wasn’t a u f o, but a strange “daddy long legs” type of non organic or mechanical spider entity that I awoke to and saw above me, but 2-3 ft from directly above me. It was approximately 10-12” in diameter but with no distinguishing thorax or center body, multiple non-jointed legs that were thin and translucent greyish(?) with small 1-2cm. disks on the ends of each one. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up and turned my head upwards towards it. It was stationary perhaps a second, but then when it sensed that I saw it, it scampered across the ceiling (about10-12ft.) in a straight line and disappeared at the wall. It made no noise, nor had lights. My chihuahua who was in the room did not react to it. The weird thing is that several weeks ago I had a dream about the same entity. I didn’t recall the dream until a couple days after the incident. I usually forget and write off all my dreams, as I had that one, but on 4/6 it popped ino my head while driving. Naturally, I am curious if you have received similar reports. I was fully awake when I saw this “spider” and of sound mind and body, that is no alcohol or drugs or anything like that. I gather from this experience that most of us are visited or checked out, but majority of people are purposely made unaware. We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and she seemed to us to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that she is a reliable witness. PD

Was on cellphone at the time, looked up to the sky (facing South-West) and saw a orange/red, VERY BRIGHT, completely silent, flaming ball of light shoot from the sky straight down (perpendicular) to earth. I was in Cle Elum Wa, 98922. My best guess is it dropped from the sky to roughly Blowout Mountain in Washington State, 98022. It was out of view after dropping past the mountain range. No one else saw it from what I know. Witness elects to remain semi-anonymous PD
