Light over Fresno, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were sitting outside in our backyard talking when the UFO appeared out of nowhere in the sky. It was ascending upwards. The UFO itself appeared as broken lights in a line it was about 2 miles long and as it ascended higher it disappeared. I caught it on video.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162556). 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.
