A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw something in the sky. At first I thought it was an airplane as we live close to the airport. This thing was flying toward me. It was intriguing because I couldn’t see any wings of the “airplane”. I called attention of my husband and it was also strange looking thing in the sky. I brought the binoculars and saw a white bright ball in the sky going from south to north direction. Then it changed its course to east. It was jumping and mowing quite fast. Then it was moving south and it disappeared in the distance. I checked the sky for over the next hour looking for it. I saw airplanes in the far distances and was able to see its wings so I’m sure it wasn’t airplane nor a bird. My husband is very skeptical but today he was very sure he saw a moving ball in the sky that was jumping. I need to add that it appeared that there was a gray small cloud around it, like a mist. We both saw the same thing. I’m wondering if you have received similar sighting in my area

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 friend and I were in our neighborhood park when all of a sudden we saw a bright white and blue circular object drop from the sky super fast and maybe crash. I thought it might be a meteorite but it looked like a ball in the sky and went straight down, not diagonal from our view. It was very bright white and blue like the color of the sky in the morning inside the ball. It went down so fast from high in the sky down to earth in less than 3 seconds. I couldn’t even take a picture as I didn’t have enough time to grab my phone. The sun was mostly down so there was no way the sunlight could have distorted our view. It was not a drone. The sky was clear and darkening. There was no trail or smoke when it fell. A coast guard helicopter flew by less than a minute after and I am sure the pilot seen this as well.
