Sphere over Grand Prarie, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Traveling east by car. I was admiring the beautiful shape clouds to the right because mostly the sky was clear & blue. It was then that the object caught my eye in the clear area of the sky, high above beyond airplane space away from the white puffy clouds. The object appeared shinny like a metal reflection then it disappeared. Seconds later it seem to come out again around the same area of sky without movement.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176598). 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.
