Diamond over Collinsville, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
My son and I were outside and noticed white objects that looked like birds flying erratically. It seemed strange because they seemed much higher than birds usually fly. My son thought it looked more like debris blowing around at a high altitude. He then noticed another much larger object appear. It was a reddish color, and it appeared top be hovering near the other objects. It appeared to be diamond shaped. I ran in our shop to grab binoculars, but before I was able to get back out, my son said it was taking off. When I got back outside, it had already disappeared to the south. This happened in a very short period of time. The object would have had to accelerate to extremely high speeds to be out of sight by the time I was back outside. We had a clear view to the south.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #150398). 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.
