Fireball over Kingston, MA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving east on route 106 in Kingston near cranberry bogs at 4:21 AM EST. Distinct green fireball flew downward in a straight path, exactly perpandicular to the horizon, and past the treeline. It flew just to the left of the moon, 160° South. The light was much larger and brighter than a shooting star, but with comparable speed and duration, as well as a tail. The sky was hazy at the time. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125614). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

Star looking object that appeared to be slightly moving back and forth and oscillating light. Similar to a star but more pronounced. A moving blue light appeared out of nowhere near it. It was doubled in size to the white starlike object. It moved for 3 seconds then disappeared. About 10 seconds later it reappeared in a different location, but still near the object. It disappeared after a few seconds. A few minutes later a white circular flash (.5 second duration) appeared much farther south and closer to me. I when I returned a short time later to check on it, the object was gone and nothing similar anywhere nearby. When I tried to get compass coordinates, my phone compass is swapping east and west *I did not have my phone to catch the blue lights. The video does show up the starlike object slightly moving and fluctuating light. It is subtle and was more noticeable in real life. The video does show the circular flash at the tree line around 11 second on video time line
