Fireball over Harrisville, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Glowing Red fire in sky that at first i thought was a paper bag on fire untill i was able to focus on it and realized that its about the size of a helicopter flying at a steady speed almost following my car on the side of me, as i pulled up to my house and went to record on my phone it accelerated a little bit and stopped about a mile off into the woods and hovered for a minute and then a green fire ball shot out to the ground and the red fire accelerated so fast it seemed to just vanish. Over the last few years since then i have seen dozens of unexplainable air craft going to and from that area of the woods near my house.

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.
