Fireball over Moosup, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On March 24th 2021 around 7:30 pm it was overcast with clouds in Moosup, CT I was talking on my cell phone to a friend in my drive way when out of nowhere six fire colored round objects appeared in the sky to the west. They were in only what I could describe as a string of lights running North to South in a sloped line with one staying to the left of the formation. Two of them moved or floated, the one on the left went from left to right and the other from top to bottom while the rest stayed in one place. I told my friend that I could not believe what I was seeing. I actually became very emotional and hung up on him. I then attempted to film it with my camera phone however the quality was pretty bad during dusk ( I still have the video). So I ran to my right to try to get a clearer shot and started seeing a couple of them vanish. I pointed the camera at them and hit record but to my dismay the phone defaulted to camera and not video I snapped a picture of t! he horizon. Later going back to check it I was able to catch one on my phone before it dissipated. This was the most exciting and unbelievable thing I have ever witnessed.

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.
