As reported

Fireball over Watauga, TX

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

The report, as filed

My husband and I walked out our back porch door and immediately noticed two large glowing objects in the sky. They were bright orange-red, and gliding silently upwards and to the left of our field of vision, to the North. The objects were initially a few hundred feet from us, but moved further up and away quickly over a horse pasture behind our house. At this point I started recording the experience, I will email the recording to the email address provided. The objects seemed to float or glide North together, one rotating a bit behind the other at a point ,with varying degrees of separation from one another until one and then the other eventually disappeared into the sky to the north. My husband is a teacher with a masters degree and I am a stay at home mom. We have never experienced anything like it. They moved fluidly like a drone but were far too large and quiet. As fast as a plane or helicopter, but looked only like a large fireball. The encounter last about two minutes.

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #162832). 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.
