Formation over Belton, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Approximately 8-10 objects in a group transitioning south to north, possibly southeast to northwest. I would estimate them to be over 40,000ft. No contrails visible. Skies clear. They were white objects. However, some flashed. It was more than likely sunlight reflecting because there was still daylight. Within the group of lights, two to three were red at times. As they transitioned across, their speed was more so constant. However, several of the objects maneuvered faster in random directions.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162316). 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.
