Other over Giddings, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I did not see a ufo. What I saw on two different occasions, maybe a month apart, I cannot explain. Roughly a year ago or so I spoke with someone from MUFON, follow up calls went unanswered. Around the time I listed on this form I saw two things. First, I was living out side of Giddings, not many lights at night, it was quite dark out there. I was sitting on the back porch around 3am just relaxing and looking at my phone, I looked out in the pasture and I can only describe this as a patch of land 25’ by 15’ in a rectangular shape lit up. This lit area was only maybe 30 yards from where I was. Once I realized how weird this was I went in to get my camera. When I got back seconds later it was gone. I couldn’t didn’t know how to duplicate what I saw. The ground lit up like that I just can’t explain. Second was about a month later. I was inside with the door open and screen door locked. Just stretched out on the couch around 3 to 3:30 am watching YouTube stuff. The only lights on were my phone and a floor lamp near the door. Something maybe a spark got my attention near the door and looked in that direction. When I saw it every hair on my body stood up. Imagine someone peering at you from behind the door. What I saw was the shape of a head, no features, just half of a head camouflaged with colors similar to what was in the room. It wasn’t like military camouflage, just something else. When it noticed me looking at it, it slowly went back behind the door. I layed there for a few seconds trying to decide what to do. I was scared, but had to know. Jumped up and flung open the door. Nothing, just a locked screen door with no holes. Grabbed a gun and flashlight and went out side. Never found anything and didn’t sleep for several nights afterwards. I’m curious if anyone else has seen anything like what I’ve described. Would really like to know.

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.
