Fireball over Guilford, ME
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My husband and I were in our garage, and my husband caught a flash out of the corner of his eye we thought it was a meteor it wasn't we went out into the yard, it looked like a fire ball and it went up into the clouds a meteor would have burnt out this didnt. There was no sound. Extremely bright orange, like fire. Very bizarre.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128094). 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.
