As reported

Fireball over New York City (Yonkers), NY

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

A cluster of reddish orange glowing balls of light flashing. Very close together. Too many and too close for them all to be planes. Too high and too close for them all to be helicopters. There was no sound. A few drivers, including myself, pulled over into a gas station to actually see what they could have been. There were a few seconds that objects disappeared and then reappeared, still very close together traveling north east, but more east. I did not call police because they might think I'm nuts. I hope someone else experienced this besides me and others in town?

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126688). 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.
