Unknown over Bedford, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At approximately 20:42 on a clear night (10/08/2019), a bright white light was seen by 2 individuals in Bedford, Texas. It was obvious this light was not coming from an airplane, as it was constant (not flashing) and white. Airplanes were seen in the vicinity, but were at a much lower altitude than the white light. The white light seemed to be moving slowly across the sky, but appeared to be getting progressively smaller as if the light was increasing altitude. The light then stops moving across the sky and changes from white to red before fading out completely. We have never seen anything like this before and I felt compelled to report it.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149646). 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.

Witnessed floating vertical triangles. With red, white green, yellow lights. Multiple hours sighting starting at 18:29 pm. Multiple lights went on, and off. Triangle behaves as a ufo then transitions to a slow moving (like) airplane with red running lights. Object vanishes either out of sight or turns running lights off. Suspect it to be some sort of helicopter or airplane capable of hovering for extended periods of time. Not the first time seeing these anomalies in the same vicinity of the Bedford Dallas Fort Worth Texas airport area. This sort of sighting occurs every other month. Have tracked some airplanes landings, and taking off from the airport with strange light patterns, later going in the same tracks as the UFOs.
