As reported

Light over Houston, TX

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I was driving down 288 South and my son saw some bright flashing lights in the distance to our left. We were headed Southbound and they were coming towards us northbound. He asked if one of the crafts was a helicopter and I observed the object have a bright green light with red and white flashing lights. Then I saw 2 other bright green lights moving towards us as well. I told him I thought they were drones. They then hovered in front of us to our left next to 288 North going freely lanes. I started to speed up to see if I could get closer. The 2 main green lights started flying over us and the bright green light with flashing red and white lights was trailing behind them. I moved my heard forward towards the windshield to see if I could see any plane or helicopter. All I saw was the green lights and nothing else. It was just pitch black object with green lights. They moved to our right in unison. 2 green lights in front moving very quickly and silent. I turn! ed the radio down to see if I could hear helicopter blades or jet engines. Nothing. It was silent. My son continued to watch them. I glanced again and they were miles away. Moving from east to west at a low altitude. The first 2 lights were moving quickly and the one with flashing lights was trailing behind. I dont know what I saw but never have I seen green lights in the sky and move that fast.

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.

As I was watching a dog walking down Grannis street, towards Easthaven Blvd, a large angular object entered my view and was approximately 10’ off the road. It passed beneath the street light, had circles that gave it a gray mottled appearance and it appeared to be approximately 16’ in length. It had no lights, made no sounds, but it startled the dog as it flew over the intersection.

I have pictures of an object that started out as a white octagon shape and then changed its shape. I cannot describe it where it makes since. I took pictures on both days. June 4 , 2023 and June 6, 2023 at night. There were no stars in the sky and thats what initially got my attention. The octagon shape changed to a roundish shape and then there was a white hue around it and then a colorful hue. It never moved. I have other pictures and a video also. I have showed people and they think they see a face but I do not. There is a definite triangle shape. Anyway, I just need someone to look at the pictures and give me their opinion. This really happened. I took these on my cellphone with no flash. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Please don't disregard this. I have pictures of an object that started out as a white octagon shape and then changed its shape. I cannot describe it where it makes since. I took pictures on both days. June 6, 2023 and June 9, 2023 at night. There were no stars in the sky and that’s what initially got my attention.

Atmospheric effects can cause a bright evening star like Venus to exhibit the characteristics described. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

This was 1 of 4 I saw within an hour. This was the 3rd. Moving at what I believe was an altitude of 5 to 10k ft. from west to east. Steady speed, no lights, looked like a brown orb the size of a small van. I have a video posted to Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpL6_1pJzEk/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=
