Light over Frisco, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was headed south on Preston Road, about 2 and a half miles north of Frisco, Texas when I observed a bright light in the sky, southwest of Frisco, Texas, with a cloud as a backdrop. The light was white gold in color, and looked to be at two levels, top and bottom. It was dusk, but the Sun was still low on the horizon, and thought at first the light might be a reflection of the Sun on an aircraft approaching DFW Airport, which is relatively nearby. I became convinced that the light was not an aircraft or helicopter. It seemed much too big, like a sudden star in the sky. Besides, living where I do on the north side of the Metroplex, I see airplanes and helicopters flying overhead all of the time. I know them by sight, but what I saw this evening didn't resemble a plane or copter at all. The light stayed in one place, backed by the cloud, for almost two minutes, then rose above the cloud, in a straight line and much faster than a plane or copter could, for about five seconds. The light then completely disappeared, in the blink of an eye. The Sun was still visible, so if what I saw was some kind of reflection off of the sun, it would NOT have disappeared as it did. I looked in all directions from the light, for several minutes, but I did not see the light any further after it disappeared.

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.

There was no trail. I think the source of light is sun reflection but it could not be an aircraft because it was pulsating, like it was slowly spinning, changing its form which created a different degree of sun reflection, approximately every 10 seconds. It could be ISS obased on its orbit, or big satellite, but I guess it’s still too big and too bright to be seen in Texas at 10 am in July, with clear sky. It disappeared when it crossed the zenith point half way through the sky towards east (which I guess also points to the fact that the source of light is sun reflection).

At exactly 5:33 PM CST (Jan 13 2022) I was walking with my wife and daughter near the neighborhood community pond area and snapped a photo of the setting sun over the pond. I snapped 2 photos within a few seconds duration. I later noticed that the second photo had a speck on the distant sky over the pond (above the trees). On zooming in, notice an almost circular object with visible lights on it. Didn't know what to make of it. Hence reporting this here.

On 2/1/2021 my daughter and I were driving west on Veneto Dr in Frisco TX when we saw 4 orange glowing lights in a single row formation in the sky coming from the NE. The lights were fast moving but also hovered at times. We pulled over on the residential street. I noticed a white suv had pulled over behind us. A man and his son were playing basketball outside their home and they had stopped and were also observing. The lights were low flying. There was a smaller airplane flying towards us coming from the SW in the distance but he was flying a much higher altitude than the unexplained lights. We got out of the car to view them. Just as the lights got directly in front of us, they begin to vanish one by one starting with the one in the lead, then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th. I yelled to the suv behind us “did you see that”? A woman yelled back “yes, there were 4 of them”. I asked her what was it and she replied UFO’s. I didn’t get to speak to the man and boy who were also watching. These were not planes, helicopters or anything I’ve ever seen in the sky. We are still trying to process what we saw. We did not record or take pictures because we were too stunned by what we were seeing.
