Fireball over La Mesa, NM

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Driving home on Hwy 28 Wednesday night on May 8th, I looked to the east towards the Organ Mountains and just a little south of the Organs noticed 5 large bright fireball lights with a redness orange circle with a bright white light in the middle of it they were in a formation of an arrow < Two on top one in the middle point and two on the bottom. I was able to see the mountain behind it so clear. I called my husband and ask him to go outside to look which he would of been able to clearly see it from our front yard. But he was in bed and did not want to get out of bed. I hurried to get to Snow Rd turned left on to Snow Rd and could see the highway noticing traffic with break lights and semi trucks as it they were at a stop and looking. I was for sure someone would be taking a picture. And would hear of it in the newspaper or Facebook. I turned on Onnies Acres and Once I reached my house I could see but only one as if the fireballs as if they were moving d! own. I backed out of my driveway and took off towards south main turning right and driving to see if I could get closer but the pecan trees were to high and I was lower down. I was surprised nothing was in the media.

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.
