Fireball over Redgranite, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While driving approximately 5 east of Redgranite, WI, I witnessed a stationary orange light near the north star. It was same height in sky as North Star, but it appeared what seemed about 50 feet to the right. While observing the object for the brief time it was visible, it increased in size and brightness, then disappeared. I was in a rural section, unsure of township. I am a professional driver and drive overnight shift. This isn’t the first thing I have seen, however it is the first report I have made.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137585). 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.
