As reported

Fireball over Port St Lucie, FL

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Was driving home. Saw what looked like a red ball moving upward. I pulled out my smartphone and started recording. As I continued to look I noticed it had a tail coming from the back. It almost looked like a shooting star but instead of coming down. It was going upward.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160424). 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.

Port St Lucie, FL

One shiny white sphere in the sky moving in a general N to S direction. It was a partially cloudy sky and the sunrise was reflecting off the surface of the object. A small plane flew near it moving at a much slower pace. Immediately realized it was not a plane or helicopter. It moved into clouds and did not reappear.
