Triangle over Stanton, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Sunday Jan 31st, 2016, at approximately 11:10 pm, I saw a flying triangle shaped object, with no lights traveling thru the sky in a westerly direction over Stanton, Texas. The object appeared to slightly reflect ambient light from the ground and was noticed because it was a few shades lighter than the night sky. I estimate its altitude at about 80 feet, and its size to be about 30 feet at the tail. It made no noise that I could hear. It appeared to going about 60 to 80 mph easily gliding through the sky with no resistance. I had a visual of the object for about 4 seconds. I cannot be certain as to its size, or speed as I am not a trained observer. I can say for sure I have never seen an object like this. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very good, reliable witness. PD

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.
