Fireball over Bucyrus, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
9:45 pm I was standing in my driveway talking to my neighbor. I looked to my left and saw an amazingly bright orb, or small disc shaped object approx. less than 100 ft. away from me. object was flying at a very low rate of speed directly over top of my garage on a N by NE course. The object was pulsating deep orange/yellow light. Object was completely silent. The light was like nothing I have ever seen before. I targeted the object with a 5 mile visibility green laser, which had no effect. Object continued on N by NE path until it faded out. It also seemed to be ascending slowly. Another witness snapped 2 photos and took a short video with a cellphone.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134661). 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.
