Fireball over Excelsior Springs, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Object moved slowly, low in the sky moving south to north. It appeared to be a fireball meteor over downtown Excelsior Springs. The object turned to the east and ascended slowly and when it did, the orange lights were in a triangle shape. 3 points of light glowing orange. Slowly ascended and disappeared and I could hear no sound. I would have flown directly over The Elms hotel and downtown Excelsior Springs so hopefully there are other reports. I saw this at 9:15pm
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165612). 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.
