Disk over KATY, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were heading north on 99/Grand Parkway in morning traffic, at a standstill. Observed a disc-type craft, emanating bright light, to the northeast, which did not appear to be moving in any particular direction, but hovering with very minimal movement. The object was near a very small cloud, almost in front of it. The light increased in intensity, and the object appeared to dematerialize in a matter of 1-2 seconds, as did the cloud. Very clear day, viewed by two people simultaneously.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151486). 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.
