Fireball over Kimberton, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was a passenger in a car on my phone and something bright and fast caught my attention. I looked and in the west was a streak of pure white. The head of the object was red with a very pronounced and long white tail, the purest white I've ever seen. As the craft moved, the tail disappeared (with delay). It looked like the craft was moving down from my angle, but based off of the way the tail looked, the craft seemed to actually just be moving away from me.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #166060). 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.
