Flash over Ingram, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Just about dusk I witnessed a very bright, white light low in the southwest sky that streaked across the horizon from the NW to the SE. It was a fairly long thin line and the front was shaped like a half arrow. It was moving very fast and I saw it for only five seconds, or less, before it disappeared from view. This light did not fall from the sky, it moved straight across the horizon. My view became obstructed because of trees.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #132796). 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.
