Fireball over colleyville, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
working on a wood project in my garage, stepped outside to see the first of many waves of these lights. Ran inside my home to get my phone to record. Did so. After several waves of the lights, including commercial airliners in the video I ran back inside to get my wife, she too witnessed a wave. This is also on my video. After moving across the sky, some seem to vanish while others seemed to vanish in the clouds an estimated 15 or so miles away. I fly simi professional drones for by business, they were not drones and they would never be allowed to cross the final approch to DFW airport as confirmed by a long hauler captin of 25 Plus years employment with American Airlines. He stated he has never seen anything like my video. They too were not lanterns because of the speed and intensity of the light emitted. Also given the time, just at sunset, it was too bright and would not have the intended effects of some sort of celebrations.

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.
