Circle over Shady Grove, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I stepped out back door to smoke. Facing south as walked out. I saw what appeared to be big dipper but it was very big and bright and i know big dipper is in north sky. There were 4 making up the square and 3 made the tail. It was very quiet night and there was no sound. I looked to the west and saw 2 more moving toward the lights. (South) the 7 lights started moving around slowly at first and then took off quickly. The lights in the west were gone by this time and only one remained. It was very bright with a bright red blinking light in middle. It was FANTASTIC! My sister got video after I hollered for her to get phone. You can see the last one left. I can send video if needed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #117812). 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.
