Fireball over Midwest city, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I called into house to my sister to have a witness. She came out and object was stationary about 10 more seconds, then slowly moved out of sight, lower than the houses in front of us. Smoke was left behind when it disappeared from sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133758). 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.
