Cigar over Bertram, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting in my backyard facing south getting some morning sun before it got too hot and I saw the object. This object was a gray tube and was just moving along slowly. It then just turned into brilliant light and was gone. The sky is clear and no clouds. I only saw it for one minute. I have never seen anything like this before.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #168761). 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.

My husband and saw a red light coming from the west. As it passed overhead the color became more orange to yellow. We turned around and watched it as long we could. We did not hear any noise.
