Sphere over Friendswood, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I looked in the sky and noticed a light, it was solid red for 3 seconds and then flashed green. It was very high up and not moving at all. It was staying in one spot for 4 minutes and then it suddenly started moving very fast. It didn't dart off it was just going very fast then started to sway left to right and finally started moving so fast we couldn't see it anymore.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128184). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

I believe I have captured an image of what has been called a Tic Tac ufo. The craft looks like the one filmed by Navy pilots off the coast of California. I'm including a photograph IMG_0063.jpeg with this report for you review.

I usually just go outside and start taking sky pictures and later review on my laptop. The picture I'm submitting to you shows a craft I've never seen before. The camera I used for the photo was a Canon SX740 HS and was set at 40x optical zoom. IMG_0056.JPG

Most days I like to sit on my front porch and just take pictures of the sky and clouds and sometimes I get an image of something I don't recognize..Living close to Johnson Space Center & Joint Base Ellington we see quite a few objects in the sky day and night. Today was no exception, I captured an object sitting stationary in the sky to the S.E and below the clouds . I have pictures and will send with this report.

At approximately 1915 hrs., my wife came in the house to tell me to come outside. My wife pointed toward the Southeast, and we saw a very bright very dark amber light, almost red in color, coming toward us and overhead. The craft had no discernible shape but the lighting on the bottom had the appearance of a sliced in half pomegranate... At the time I didn't have any way to video it… I went back inside the house to lookup the telephone number to report the incident, and just about the time I was dialing the number, my wife came running back in the house very excited telling me there was another craft just like the first one. I grabbed my phone which has 4K video capability and ran outside to video this thing! I kept the image direct center of my screen and zoomed in and out for 20 seconds never loosing sight and maintaining a clear picture. After the craft had disappeared to the north, I played back the video and to my surprise, the video was scrambled! I took another video afterwards to check and see if my camera was working properly by pointing to the sky and the video was excellent! Evidently some type electromagnet radiation had disrupted my camera from taking a clear video image… I saved the video, so if you are interested in viewing I can send to you...

This was seen last Saturday at 10:06 pm. At first I thought these were missiles or some type of military aircraft. Many people all over the world have witnessed these strange lights. I've never seen this in my life. These lights looked like circular fire balls and don't resemble anything military grade as they made no noise and seemed to fly fairly low but not close enough to visibly see what the object was. Nor do I believe they are Chinese lanterns or any type of home crafted object. I know the video is a little hard to see but you can definitely see the strange pattern of these orange lights, it's almost as if they were following each other. There were about 10-12 of these objects. I would really like to find out what so many people all over the world have witnessed daily in so many different states and countries. Below is two videos one of which I'm trying to zoom in on the object. The other is 47 seconds long and shows multiple of these glowing objects in the sky. Please pardon some of the language myself and my friends and some other people at the restaurant were spooked.
