Fireball over Pulaski, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was about to go to bed when i looked out the window and saw 5 white orbs or lights in the distance high in the sky behind my house .These orbs seemed to be transforming from 5 objects to 1 and I went outside for a closer look. After observing this phenomenon for 10 minutes or so I turned around to go back in the house and over my shoulder 50 ft in the air was a fireball like orb that moved closer and farther away for at least 15 minutes.

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.

On 18 November 2014 a little after 11 pm my wife and I observed two objects in the sky several miles apart east of Claytor Lake in Pulaski County. The objects made no sound and sat motionless in the sky for over an hour. Each object appeared as a tight cluster of multicolored blinking lights - white, red, green, and blue. After watching for an hour and attempting to take photos we drove home. Several months earlier we had watched another of these objects hovering over Northwest Pulaski County, again at night, sitting motionless in the sky and making no sound. We observed this object for 2 hours before going back in the house. On both occasions the objects were later noted to have departed the area. Possible stars?? PD

My deck overlooks a broad valley with a mountain ridge in the background. On September 5, 2014, in the late afternoon the valley was covered with thick fog with the ridge clear and highlighted by the sun above the fog. I took multiple photos of the interesting view. In only one photo, taken at 6:30 PM, a small bright dot was seen above the ridge. Enlarged, the dot appears to be an object or craft followed by orange flames. A family member suggested it was space debris burning on re-entry. On-line research did not show any debris reported or expected to reenter the atmosphere that day. Weeks later I carefully viewed all the other photos taken at about that time. In the photo taken 6 seconds after that one, there is a smaller dot in the further distance which when enlarged appears to be a delta shaped craft. Both of these images appear in only one of the two photos taken 6 seconds apart. If they are of the same object, then it was traveling at incredible speed.
