Light over Smryna, DE
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My wife and I were traveling, driving on rt.1 North, outside of Smryna, Delaware, and out of nowhere on the opposite side of the highway,in a wooded area and over trees, was streaking a green light, but then it faded out. I asked my wife did she that and she said yes. We wanted to make sure it was no flare. She agreed that it was different. [NUFORC annotation: Meteor - Possible]

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.
