Fireball over West of Gillette, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving down I-90 West bound, between mile marker 95 100, at night when a green light suddenly appeared in the sky and shot down into a field. The UFO seemed to falling. It landed in a field with its light on for a moment, before the light died out and it seemed to disappear. There was only one UFO. The light was a saucer shape before it disappeared. The sky had been completely clear and there was nothing in the way of the sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160648). 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.
