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.

I recently began experimenting with my new camera. A powerful Nikon P900 camera which has an incredible 83X zoom. I just got it back from having it converted to full spectrum. So it will record in infrared and UV. I installed a 665nm IR pass filter with a MC/UV filter. I was in my backyard in the Mid-Cities, Texas, area and had pointed towards a plane flying overhead. It was on autofocus and my tripod was in the house. Once I lost sight of the plane behind the trees I scanned through the vapor trail which curiously looked like a chem trail. I was fumbling with the camera hoping to get it to focus when I caught a flash of light. I then zoomed in on the light and it came into focus a few times. I videoed for approx 5 minutes. I kept losing the object without the tripod so I made the decision to enter the house to retrieve it and come back out to film. In my excitement I never restarted recording!!!!!!! And dang it, I had it zoomed in and in frame and steady! But I never hit record. The video I do have is fairly compelling. You can tell it’s not anything like a standard flying craft we’re familiar with. It had a field around it and sometimes looked like a hamburger on it’s edge! Like a patty in the middle of two pieces of bread. Very strange. The time was approximately 5:45 PM Jan 27th, 2019. If you review the footage you can skip ahead to five minutes where I slowed the footage down. Peter, it pulsates. It’s very obvious. I just had to share it with you. I’m a regular listener to Coast to Coast and love what you add. I bought this camera for this purpose and if I captured this so randomly I imagine I will have more and better footage to produce in the future. Oh, I was filming towards the southeast from the North Richland Hills area about an hour from sunset. Best regards...

I called the FAA but they didn't know anything. Interesting though, the live DFW tower radar showed no aircraft in this area during that time.

Haltom City, TX

Went to the back yard to let the dogs out. My wife and I looked to the southwestern sky and we saw what looked like at first a bright star, but it began to move very fast. It moved heading north. Then it got brighter for like 6 seconds. Then dimmed down a bit then turned bright orange. And disappeared like nothing happen. Then a minute later two more lights came out of the northern sky. They turn bright orange and disappeared. Very strange. Definitely not a plane. Witness elects to provide no contact information. PD
