Oval over Brenham, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Wednesday 26 November 2014 0530 a.m. I had just walked out the back door of my house to drive to work. As I turned around after locking door, I noticed an odd light in northwest night sky, about 80 degrees above horizon, and about the size of a full moon. The object was very dark with a faint amber golden light and appeared to be spinning. The movement of this object did not appear to be a straight steady line but more of a gyrating motion as it moved away. There was no sound, just the sighting which lasted about 15-20 seconds. The sky was clear, winds from the southwest at about 8 m.p.h. and temperature about 48 degrees.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #115684). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.
