Flash over New Hope, MN
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Today i walked out to smoke a cigarette and i was looking towards the northwestern sky and noticed 1 bright flash that was about the size of a star. Now i have seen IR flares before and this was not that because another flash then occurred in the same spot. I then saw a star like object that was next to it completely go out and disappear. First ever confirmed UFO sighting for me here.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138845). 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.

An orange ball looked like it was glowing red-orange like a fire, moved across the sky about the rate of an airplane. Looked like it was on fire, but kept flying. At first sight, I thought I was seeing a hot air balloon (the round flame lit sphere). It made no sound
