Fireball over Farmingville, NY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home when out of the sky I saw a bright green circular object streaking down towards the ground. As fast as I saw it that's how quick it disappeared. In my estimation, it was fairly close to the the surface, so much so I expected some type of impact noise, but I didn't hear anything. It just descended at a rapid pace and disappeared. The size of the bright green light was about a size of a medium size balloon ball, very bright.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137563). 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.

Object looked like a shooting star, however, came low to tree line and lifted as if it "swooped" and then flash disappeared entirely. Was unlike anything I've witnessed before.
