Light over Sterling City, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Star like lights moving at similar speeds appeared in a cloudless sky amongst other starlight, moved west to east and disappeared amongst other starlight, with my outstretched arm, the lights are as far apart from each other as my hand was wide, so this does not seem to match the star link satellites. We have seen them before, and again since. Only 9 or 10 lights are visible at once, and over about 8 minutes we think we saw close to 30 lights. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

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.
