Fireball over Newcastle, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sitting on my step after taking my dog out, orange object in the air coming toward me It caught my attention because it was orange, it flew over my head and I looked up. And it was a clear bubble with fire on the inside of it.. We spoke via telephone with the witness, in order to confirm that the time and date were correct. He corrected both to 21:45 hrs. and the June 15, not May 15. The witness sounded to us to be serious-minded and sincere. PD

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.

The object appeared to be elongated tear drop shape and seemed, to be shooting across the sky from the east to west. Lights went from white to blue and yellow in color and seemed to have disappeared in thin air.

Newcastle, DE
Approximately 7:45 am est., visiting Gracelawn Cemetery. At that time I looked in sky cigar shaped oblong silver crafts, 3 of them opened up and released dark human looking black figures with wings, as if they were being thrown from the craft or object. Also released at the same time bright balls of light that just floated away from the objects or crafts. But the smaller balls of light had angelic white light looking beings in the balls. that were being released from the craft...I could not believe what I was seeing till I saw 2 more after the first craft do the same thing.....I thought I was crazy at first. ((ADDENDUM FROM SOURCE OF ORIGINAL REPORT)) The report sent in from Newcastle Delaware gracelawn time lapsed 15 minutes to 45 minutes. I left gracelawn at 8:30 am.. ((END ADDENDUM)) Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. Probable hoax. PD
