The report, as filed
Report 2 of 2 On Saturday, October 12, 2019, my girlfriend and I were working in the yard at her house. We were working in the yard, and at 6:20 PM, I observed an object that was bright white at about 60 – 70-degrees elevation to the east of our location. I could tell it had a shape and was not an airplane. It appeared to be hovering. I looked through my binoculars and could see it, still very small. It appeared to be at a very high altitude. It appeared to be a long bright loop, small and nearly closed about 2/3’s of the length and an open loop at the other end. It slowly changed shapes to an “V” shape. About a minute or so later, it changed to a “)” shape. A minute or so later, it changed to a straight tube or cigar shape. I took five pictures with my cell phone. You can see the object as a small white dot in the blue sky, but no details. Enlarging the photo, you can see the shape changes. One picture, you can see the “V” shape. I called the Irving Police department to report what I was seeing and to see if anyone else was reporting it. I was on the phone with the police department for about 5 minutes, describing what I was still looking at. They took down my information and said they would check it out. The object was visible for about 10 minutes, slowing moving to the east. Then, at about 45-degree elevation due east, it just disappeared. I called the Irving Police Department back and told them it was no longer visible.

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 think I saw an UFO around 7:30pm in Las Colinas Irving on the lake Carolyn. This is what I saw: I saw a big smoke (smoke appeared suddenly) like cloud spreading and I saw something a shell shaped object in the center of the smoke. The smoke was spreading widely and disappeared. Once the smoke disappeared or cleared the smoke around the object in the center it started traveling straight towards left (when I am facing the smoke). It looked like a star or light when it started traveling. This happened above the lake. Not only me there was another older couple 3 feet away from me they also saw what I saw. I felt like something (UFO) suddenly came from above then released/created a smoke around it then once the smoke was cleared and disappeared it started traveling like a light.

I was with my sibling when I wanted to take a photo of the sunset sky. I didn’t review the photos till the following day. I didn’t observe them directly as it happened until I was reviewing some photos and realized that one photo had two odd lights in the sky that the other photos did not have around the same cloud pattern. The photos were one minute apart and the objects when zoomed in look very much like the stuff you’d expect to see with a flying saucer including what looks like a round shape on top of one of the UFOs.

I took two pictures of the Space Craft. In the first picture it looked triangular and pinkish red. In the second picture it looked rectangular and silver with a fireball. It was far above La Madeleine Restaurant. A Starlink Satellite was to the North of it.

Traveling north at altitude of 3000ft roughly 1000mph. Was watching the planes come in as i live southeast of dfw airport while smoking a cigarette. There was 8 to 10 planes in my line of sight getting ready to land and i saw 2 cigar shaped grey/ transparent flying close together in offset formation maybe 50 to 100ft apart at same altitude but maybe 5x speed and 6x to 7x bigger together so maybe each object was 3x bigger than 1 plane. They were very near to planes maybe less than a 1/2 mile in the air. Passengers had to have seen them. Was traveling north for about 15 seconds and instantly banked nnw directly headed toward airport for roughly 15 seconds until out of sight. It was scary and cool as they were cloaked but still visible. I wanted to call 911 for safety of passengers but dont want to be made fun of. Thats why i googled how to report sightings and found this sight. I want to say im 100% sure what it was it wasnt birds or planes or even trash. This! is not a hoax and no explanation can be given to this except for ufo. I think this here is all the information i can give also im not familiar with this site i hope someone sees this message and im not wasting my time. Thank you.

At approximately 8 PM CST we were stargazing in our back yard. While I was lining up my telescope with the moon and mars, we observed an object come across the sky. It was moving so fast I could not get it lined up in the telescope. It moved from the southwest sky flying towards the northeast. In total, there were 3 objects, spaced approximately 2-3 minutes apart following the exact same pattern. The objects glowed red or orange as they approached and from behind. There was no noise. The object was at least 5,000 feet up and rapidly moved across the sky. We are near an airport and there was a SW flight in the landing pattern (they may have seen it) and it was significantly higher than that and the objects we saw were going much faster. As the 3rd object passed us, I ran to the front of the house and saw it flicker and disappear a moment later.
