Disk over Van Alstyne, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was traveling down highway 75 in Van Alstyne, TX, during the beginning of a small thunderstorm. I noticed a white LED fairly bright light saucer style shape moving in vertical and horizontal, hovering type movements through a dark wall cloud. It proceeded to move through and in and out of the clouds before disappearing. It was a solid non-blinking light. It appeared to be larger than a plane. It was not a weather balloon or a phone tower. It was not a drone, too large to be, and as it moved it stayed in a very small area where it would hover and move. Ok have never witnessed anything like that.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149233). 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.
