Fireball over McPherson, KS
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Later in the evening around 1900, my very intelligent 10 year old came in from walking the dogs and asked if I believed in UFO!!! I said why, she said there were spinning yellow/green lights heading straight and fast south (I found out after she pointed ) of town!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144061). 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.

Was driving South on I135, and a bright light appeared in the windshield about 45 degrees high in the sky. It was straight South of our location, directly over I-135, and was not moving. At first, I thought maybe it was a traffic drone, with the Sun reflecting off of it. It had to be -17 or so in brightness. I alerted my son, and he saw it too. After about 15 seconds, it just went away, like flipping off a light switch! I check heavensabove.com for daytime Iridium flares or satellites, and none were listed. The Sun was at about 70 degrees, SSW, so it could not have reflected off of any flying craft. The light source had to be generated by the object.

Three circular brightly glowing orangish objects in an assembly. They were moving at a very fast speed, and then one shot off in another direction at light speed. About 10 minutes later, another one followed. Unsure if it was one of the first ones or a seperate one. Photos and video do what we saw no justice. Unlike anything I have ever seen before.
