Cigar over Avinger, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I am listing this for my friend that saw this while driving home from a trip. I am a professional ufologist. He was driving west on US 155, Cass County, Texas. He was 10 miles before Lake O' The Pines around 5:30 in the afternoon. He pulled over with his window down to take the pictures. When he first spotted them they were higher in the sky, and in a loose triangular formation. They maintained the same cigar/cloud-like shape even when they moved. They left the formation and made a somewhat straight line, before moving off quickly to the southwest below the treeline horizon where he lost sight of them. There was no sound that could be heard.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #170235). 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.
