Sphere over Roasharon, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On 9/3/15, at about 8:00pm, while driving south on state Hwy. 288 just south of CR-1462 in Roasharon, Texas, I witnessed an object streak from upper west, to lower east, at about a 45 deg angle to the ground, in about 2-3 seconds. The object was very bright white to silvery and had a green light rotating around it (about 3 times or so). The motion of the main object appeared to be a straight line not an arc. It seemed as if it should have hit the ground over the horizon though I have no evidence that it did. I have seen nothing move as fast as it did. It did not look like a meteor. As to size my out stretched index fingertip would just cover it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #121665). 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.
