Flash over Dallas (Lakewood area), TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The flash seemed to be about 100 ft in the air and about 8 feet across- but the bright light it emitted exposed a good 50-100 yards in front of me in all directions, seemingly. There was no sound prior to the event. After the event, it sounded like power lines were being interfered with. Weather was clear.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #133143). 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.
