Circle over Aubrey, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside after dark on my patio. Looking straight east at a distance I observed a bright white light, circular in shape, but no blinking lights like a plane would have. It was approaching at a speed that allowed me to go inside briefly for my phone/camera. The video I took appears to show a spinning object, quite bright. I tried to zoom in several times which made the object appear to be rapidly changing directions. This was not the case however. It continued east to west at a fairly steady rate. I do see aircraft regularly but this was definitely different.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #163867). 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.
