Triangle over Round Top, TX

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was sitting outside The Stone Cellar at a fire pit located near the building. I looked up and saw 5 large perfectly circular white lights in a triangle shape, with a dark triangle silhouette behind the lights. Each light was very large, at least 15-20 feet in diameter and emitted a soft, not harsh light, if I had not been looking at it directly I might not have noticed it. It was a light similar to that of the moon. It passed slow and close overhead with no sound, about 30 yards from the top of the Stone Cellar building (the building is an old train station, single story). I watched it for about 3-5 minutes as it slowly passed over my head and continued away from the building , South East, towards the center of town (Round Top town hall area). It seemed like it either quickly zoomed away or blinked off its lights at the end of my view. , it was hard to tell. Once it was gone I asked other people who had been inside/ on the patio of the building if they saw anything but no one had, I was the only one who witnessed this phenomenon at the time. While I was at a bar, I was sober as I was a designated driver and I do not drink alcohol as part of my belief system. I am currently a graduate student and AmerCorps service member.

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.
