Light over Dallas (DFW Airport), TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw it from DFW airport, SSE. 21:10 hrs. It was glowing like when you see Jupiter or Saturn, but bigger. Steady, no flashing. It started to descend slowly and vertically. Then it moved diagonally downward and eastward until it stopped at some point. Then, the bright light started to dim away until it became a dim orange ball. Then it turned to an orange ring and then it stopped glowing.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121403). 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.
