Unknown over Corpus Christi, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on the porch looking at the sky listening to the chirping frogs and rain dripping off of the roof. Then I hear a plane and it flies over our house extremely low to the ground. I look at the plane for a while and it flies off and then turns to the right and goes away. Then I see what at first I think is a herd of birds all together but there isn't any space between them and they are in a triangular shape with one edge pointing down and flat at the top but it seems to turn and so I think it is maybe a large eagle. It is dark and hazy so it is hard to see so I get up and start walking closer and it seems to be a shiny gray or silvery black color and starts to look like a disk. I am now in the street getting my socks all wet running to try to get a better look as the house across the street's trees are blocking and when I get around both houses in the street, it is gone and I don't see it anymore. I was guessing it could be a drone but it seemed much too big to be a drone and just seemed like some sort of craft possibly surveying the area. Another possibility is a cloud but it was much more defined, seemed too small to be a cloud, and there weren't any other low clouds (this thing was probably half the distance off the ground that the low plane was). No one else was outside in our neighborhood and I thought about running inside to tell my mom and brother to come out but it happened too fast.

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.

Humming sound woke me up and I laid there and tried to figure out what it was. I got up and looked out the window and put my face against the window to see if it was vibrating and when I looked back up to the sky, I saw this object that was kind of rectangle-shaped but oddly it looked like a sailboat with red lights around it. It was a pretty big object. By the way, even as far away as it was, when it disappeared from my site a few seconds later, the humming stopped. I was so shocked for a few seconds I couldn't move and I didn't have enough time to grab my camera off my nightstand to take a picture. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night and felt like I needed to tell somebody about this. I did check the flight radar app on my phone to see if any airplanes or helicopters were in the vicinity of our home and there was none... maybe a small training plane from the naval air station but nothing that was near the size of what I saw. I would like to know what it was, if you could tell me.

After departure from McAllen Texas, we began to see several crafts that were moving erratically. I originally thought that it was a landing light of an aircraft, however, the aircraft began to move in all directions, extremely quickly. After the originally sighting, several more aircraft appeared and began shining lights at us. We asked ATC if anything was over there, but they continuously said that nothing was indicating on their radar.

I felt vibrating and just felt weird. Looked out the window couldn't sleep. I SAW a object through my window and through the trees. I saw a curved object high above with lights. I thought to myself I'm sleepy. Just then I saw the capital letter A and long words I couldn't read because it was to far. Then I saw symbols going by fast like computer programming.

Was outside using my sky map on my iphone to look at planets and stars with my kids after dinner. Saw a bright (what I thought was a star) to the north. My sky map said it was Polaris. Well I was looking at the star map my daughter said that it's moving I think it's a UFO in a joking manner. I put down the phone and then looked at it and saw the object moving. I pulled up my video on my phone and started recording and zoomed in as far as I could go. What is a circular white object with a gray circle just inside of the white and then in the very center a gray dot. Look like it was emitting spikes or something wrong the outside perimeter all the way around and that it was spinning clockwise. I followed it from where we sought in the north sky around where Polaris was east in the sky. At one point I zoomed out and lowered my camera down for directional purposes when it was over my neighbors house across the street. At that point tried to find it again and it had disappeared. About a one minute video. Looks similar to one on TV’s Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch. I reported to MUFON immediately. They researched it and their response was: For the most part it is inconclusive but it could be a " tic tac". It has been added to to the data base for possible tic tacs.
