Light over East Dubuque, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My boyfriend and I were driving from a Wisconsin and we both saw what looked like a comet stationary far away, would not move for about 1 minute, then it looked like debris was starting to separate from the "comet" like a meteorite, after that the debtors turned into 5 bright white lights that would appear and disappear, that lasted for a few seconds, one was left and it looked like he was throwing fire at the earth it was very bizarre after that trees were in the way, there were about 7 cars around that saw them too.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #134909). 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.
