Sphere over Lipan, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object was falling like a shooting star and then stopped above the ground and compressed and thinned out and shot west. There was only one and it was round with a faint yellow haze/glow that shifted to a white and blue glow. It was seen approximately 2-3 miles off from the crossroads of HWY 281 and Lipan.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152105). 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.
