Fireball over East Hampton, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was awake in my bathroom, when the room filled up with orange light as i a truck with bright orange lights were backing into my driveway. When I looked out the window I noticed the light was coming from the sky, approx. 45 degree angle from the North horizon. The light was orange, bright and confined to a small area in the sky- a few seconds later is was gone. My bathroom was bright enough from the light that you would be able to read a book. Witness provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #125851). 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.
