Fireball over Pacific Beach, CA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving south on I-5 through San Diego; Pale green light flash in the sky, reminiscent of lighting, looked above the dashboard to see a greenish light shape about 200 yards diagonally above us in the sky. The shape immediately broke apart in an elongated path and you could literally see flames shooting downwards, where is disappeared towards the hills to our right.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133532). 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.
