Disk over Port Arthur, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking outside in the morning for exercise, was on my phone choosing music, looked up at a disc shaped saucer, it was gliding 1000 feet above the air. Looked like it was going 15-20 mph. It was heading south west and I couldn’t keep up with it to get a picture. It disappeared past the tree line.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #156051). 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.

Me and the wife watched a glowing sphere flying 3 times faster than the normal airplanes and jets I see every night but with no sound . But one single orange yellow glow .but much bigger than a plane light. Solid glowing light .it took 30 seconds or less to go from one end of the sky to other with no sound . If I had to guess 1000 ft to 2000ft above ground with no sound... Awesome feeling...this is the 2nd encounter in Port Arthur. The first one being much lower

Looked up and saw a very bright light. It looked like a star that was about 200 yards away coming up from the ground area and moving up in the sky. Took out my phone and began recording. A second one appeared and they both disappeared behind the clouds. I'm having trouble dragging the video over.
