Circle over Corpus Christi (south of), TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On the beach of Padre Island National Seashore at exactly Mile marker 20.5 from entrance I observed a white circular craft flying due south along the beach front over the gulf of mexico at a very high altitude and approximately 1 mile away from shore. It was traveling at a very high speed for 15 secs then exited atmosphere by going straight up and out of sight
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124104). 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.
