The report, as filed
Me and my girlfriend we're driving back from picking me up from work, we we're heading from katy hockley into Old Town Katy, when we spotted a bright flash fall to the ground about a mile away. It was a bright orb, I've seen meteors in the sky, this thing got brighter as it was close to the ground, it was falling at such a fast rate it was like half a second, but it was bright. We are both freaked out now. It was an incredible sighting..
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122249). 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.
