Circle over Bay City, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw the first one slowly moving across the sky and the disappeared into the low cloud coverage and the three more appeared in a line formation slowly moving and then eventually disappeared like the first one. They were red in color not changing just slowly moving. We have low cloud coverage this night and I believe that's why they just seem to disappear. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

Was taking a early morning walk when I looked up at the sky 3 large fireballs all traveling together with flames shooting off behind each one. Looked like a huge train on flames moving toward the gulf of Mexico. Turning slightly east then disappeared.
