Fireball over Kingsville, OH
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
it looked like red ash from a fire floating in the air but there were no fires near here. At first, I thought they were a lot of planes or a prison escape but it was so close and there was no sound at all. They seemed to have had a motherboard, one of the aircraft looked like a large star that was moving fast but not slow enough to be a star.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #159609). 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.
