A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Big ball of fire. It move extremely fast. It was so fast it was almost out of sight by the time I got my cell phone out and snapped a picture.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #143324). 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.

My 2 teenagers and I were outside in a rural area, on a sunny day with no cloud cover. We all saw a VERY BRIGHT reflective silver diamond shape just appear in the sky to our north west at a distance. It was free floating at quite a height and must have been very large close up. It stayed there for approximately 20 minutes, and then simply disappeared. It actually scared me, never have seen anything like that. I am ex Air Force and know what a plane in motion looks like. This was nothing like a military plane. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
