Fireball over Simpson, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Observed a bright light from my porch and went out into street to check. Red with yellow/orange rimmed colored object first looked as possible plane or drone. I ran for iPad to take picture. When I returned to street object had changed course to a more circular pattern. Picture I obtained was through branches of tree, but clearly showed a lit object. Part of my background includes EMT, Disaster Service Worker and photography.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149324). 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.
