Fireball over Royal palm beach, FL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This was a giant big bright ball that hurt my eyes to look at. I took a picture. It got lower and cars on the road noticed it and took off, people were sticking their heads out their car to look at it. As it hovered just above my car I saw a couple circles on the bottom and the detailing included smaller beeping lights. It was a ufo dish with a giant ball in the center. Brighter than the moon like an unnatural brightness.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160738). 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.
