Fireball over Wylie and Rowlett, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At first, I thought that they were helicopters in the distance. Then they would get brighter and dimmer. Change colors and flash from white to redish. A few of them seemed you look like fire balls and others more like strobbing lights. Also, at times they seemed to be chasing each other. They would move fast and slow, up and down, side to side and in circles. Entirely to fast to be anything know to the average civilian. I also have about 10 minutes of recording in 3 different areas, 4 miles apart.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #126469). 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.
