Formation over Hico, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I awoke at 5:30 this morning & went outside to smoke & saw something I can’t explain. There was a string of lights slowly crossing the night sky. It was one light behind another in a line, possible 10-15 in a row. I went into the yard & watched it until it was out of sight. Living outside very rural Hico Texas, I’m able to see planes & even satellites, this was neither of them. It was high in the sky but below a plane I saw crossing from west to east. When I came back in, I did a search for UFO string of lights and was able to find a pic of what I saw. The pic was from a game camera in Archer City & was exactly what I saw.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #152363). 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.
