A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were driving towards north to take our dogs for a walk/run just right after the sun has set. I like taking pictures while in the car and when i looked to my left side, there’s this fireball looking thing that looks like its falling from the sky. It got longer and shorter and looked like it was changing direction. I told my husband to hurry so i can take a clearer picture but when we got to our spot, it has already disappeared. It looked farther and farther until it disappeared. Not sure if its from the SD air force base cos we’re in between the dakotas. Just wanted to know for sure. Weird thing is i was just watching some alien documentaries the day before. I tried to check if anybody has seen the thing but i cant find any reports Contrail

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.
