Fireball over Palm Beach Gardens, -
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Was driving from home to lock up my place of work as the other employees forgot their key, on the way I saw it, called the employees and told them to go outside and look up. They saw it with streams coming off similar to a meteor but we probably watched it for 10 minutes exist until it fading moving farther and farther and getting smaller until it was out of our horizon. One employee got video. I have my pp and I'm 100% sure it wasn't a plane or military vessel. It looked natural. Plane was near us but far from the object and not anywhere near the same speed. I have been checking daily hoping to see another report or explanation, but no luck.

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.
