Flash over Shawsville, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were sitting in the vehicle in the parking space of a friend of mines trailer. It was around 10 pm or after but not past 12 midnight. As we sat i for some unknown reason was drawn to look up and saw a very bright orange and red ball of fire streak across the sky. It was moving very very fast and literally there and gone in the blink of an eye. iT WAS MOVING IN A SOUTHEAST. ((name deleted)) and the spelling is correct was the second person in the vehicle a silver acadia. 2010 It was between aug to october my date and time is fuzzy because i was dealing with an emf situation and i had not had a chance but whatever it was was crazing down for sure because of the immense light and heat it was approximately maybe the size of a school bus to a vehicle. Hard to judge the size because it was so fast .
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #178989). 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.
