Unknown over Gulf of Mexico, LA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object could be seen with the naked eye. Even so we could get a few pictures of it. Looked almost like a angels wing.. but sharper. Later that night, another person saw the same thing but lights. Appearing to have a tail. Now on 1/11/19 we see the same object. In the same spot.. 1 hour later a second appears next to it. Then 10 minutes later the object that appeared next to it changed its aspect and went in a straight line. Traveling faster than a jet in the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #144420). 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.
