Fireball over Unity, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Floating fireballs made several different shapes from a circle to a diamond then into a line and constellation shapes. Could only record a few seconds of multiple, kept shutting recording off. Then when there was just one I could record for 45 seconds. Sky was clear and planes were visible.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125211). 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.
