Fireball over Enumclaw Wa, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Me and my GF were taking a long drive after work around 12:50am and then we noticed a large Orange glowing morphed orb shape in the sky. So we kept driving straight after it, at one point we thought okay okay it might be the size of a cat and thought we would catch up to it because we thought it was going to land about a mile infront of us, then after about 2 mins following it we soon realized that the thing was absolutely massive because when it started going behind the mountains we realized whatever it was was at least as big as a small town. Was it a star? No way to big for the naked eye, was it a planet? No way to big for the naked eye to see. It was extremely cloudy and was below the cloud line. No streaks following behind it and absolutely no sound coming from it. We also have video and pictures for proof. You can’t tell in the video but in real life it was falling very fast

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.
