Fireball over Coopersburg, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Fireball fell from the sky burning out behind treeline. We were in our car (upper Bucks County) traceling West on Ebert Road in Coopersburg, when my son and I witnessed a bright very fast moving ball of fire, falling almost completely straight down. It happened so fast but was very bright. Once the light made its way toward the treeline we could no longer see any residual effects. It just disappeared. This is on a quiet street, so we lulled over to make sure nothing caught on fire.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125559). 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.
