Fireball over Picacho, AZ
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 3/15/21 21:15, I witnessed 3 orange fireball shapes 6 miles out in the west-north-west skies a couple hundred feet over Picacho, Arizona. They didn't move at all. One slowly started to fade and the other two faded shortly after. They lit up once more before fading into the dark. I stayed out for 10 mins but did not see them again.

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.
