Formation over Dallas/Irving, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Around 6:40pm on 1/19/21 my wife and I were driving South on 121 tollway around the I35E intersection. We are used to seeing planes coming in for a landing so seeing lights in the sky is normal. This was abnormal. It was overcast so visibly was lower. We saw 12-15 bright lights that appeared to stay in the same place for about 15-20 minutes as we drove 14 miles. They were not flashing and had no apparent tail lights we could tell. The lights remained bright as we drove even as our point of view changed.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #161714). 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.
