Fireball over Branford, CT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Overhead, a clear sky and moon. A very bright fireball moving at slow speed twice in the same direction over trees. No sound and disappears. Bright orange in color radiating light all over its circular shape.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162841). 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.

This is my second encounter with this ball of flashing light. The light was stationary in the air and was sparkling much brighter than a star for around a minute and a half, and then immediately shot up just a bit, and zoomed away into the clouds far away behind it. I do have video.

Seen from a vast open parking lot in the Western sky: A cylindrical, shiny object moving slowly and downward from the West, moving downward and North. It seemed to be slowly hovering and descending towards East Haven, CT. The cylindrical shape had 4 "spikes", two on a horizontal plane and two vertical (one vertical in the middle of the cylinder and one vertical at the end of the cylinder). One of the horizontal spikes had a blinking red light. It was buzzing faintly until it descended over the tree line.
