Fireball over Lemitar, NM
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving back home with my children. I have seen these before and last reported them 9/9/2010 9:40:03, but have seen them about three more times since 2010. (I just never got around to reporting those) Each time I see them they have the same characteristics and pattern. The number of orbs is always associated with 3's. This last time I saw two sets of three ( 6 total). They burn bright orange and usually stay either on the same level or form a triangle shape. They fade in and out one at a time until they all disappear. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.
