Circle over Freeport (Treasure Island ), TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Through binoculars my husband and I saw a sphere in southern sky from our beach house on San Luis Pass. It was blinking red, green and amber lights. The green and red looked to be revolving around the top and bottom of the sheer. This object was very far away and seemed to be out over the Gulf of Mexico about 25 or 30 degrees above the horizon. It remained in the same spot in the sky for several hours. Finally it was so late that we went inside. We often look at stars from our deck, but have never seen anything nor reported anything like this before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122532). 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.
