Fireball over Patrick Springs, VA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Riding home from work all 3 of us were in the front of the truck and me and the driver seen a green ball of light dropping down and the third person looked up and seen it as it dropped out of view. We are in a mountainous terrain and the mountains/forest blocked the view after it dropped so far but it was very large and didn't appear to have any tail it looked almost like a ball of green fire and it dropped very fast
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #167835). 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.
