Fireball over Perkins, OK
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Headed towards the ground at a slight angle really fast. Had a trail/tail behind it. Went down till I couldnt see if from trees blocking view. Was going so fast it seemed like it would have hit the ground, but trees obstructed our veiw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148262). 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.
