Fireball over Arpin, WI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving south down a country road with no traffic, street, or houses emitting light. Approximately 45 degrees up from the road i saw one orange ball of light. Instantly there were two as if it divided. The one on the right seemed to dim or disintigrate while simultaneously the one on the left shot off to the east and disappeared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138988). 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.
