Changing over Burton, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Over 290 to the east, I heard a single, deep “boom” sound that was accompanied by an explosive-like flash in the sky. A few minutes later, I changed location, to see get an unobstructed view of the horizon spanning from Washington county to Harris County. In the direction ofHouston, I witnessed a disc-shaped craft hovering, flashing red, white, and blue like a disco ball. I grabbed a pair of binoculars, put them on a solid surface, and sat down to watch this thing. Every once in a while, I caught a few random white sparks appear anywhere within its radius for a split second. Like sparkles. It’s still there 03:46 and getting closer. I am pretty certain I watched it change from a horizontal to a vertical shape for a moment then return to disc-like. It’s really close now. Coming towards Burton. 03:49.

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.

I was outside star-gazing and I heard what sounded like the central air unit had kicked on (I have no central air in my house) and I looked outside and saw multiple faint, glowing lights and the lights came together and became one single searchlight and the light started to move in a circular pattern as if searching for something. Afterwards, the light and the sound disappeared. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
