Chevron over Forney, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On January 4th at 9:19 I was outside smoking a cigarette. I noticed a large chevron shape hovering in one spot. It had lights running along the outer edge and at times appeared to move from left to right. I see low flying air craft all the time and have never seen something so large at this elevation. The object dropped lower and I went to my back yard to film some more and by the time I got there it was gone. I took the footage and zoomed in and you can tell there’s a cylindrical vase like structure sitting inside the chevron shape with a hole in the center. The object at time can be seen emitting a tail from the center at times in the video and the lights appear to also pulse brighter and softer at times. I have more footage if interested.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173978). 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.

Saw an object that looked like a star but was a different color to any star I've ever seen. It was amber in color and moved in a circular pattern. Kept watching and it would get closer the further. The circular object that we observed moved also back and forth. The sky was clear 61 degrees outside. We took photos.
