Unknown over Deer Park, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A huge blinking light in the sky. Was bright orange and slow. Then it blinked faster and got brighter. Then it filmed out after 15 minutes and when super fast. Then it just stopped and the sky went dark again. There was also what looked like a star moving through the sky over the 20 mins of the event.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #158477). 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.
