Disk over La Porte, TX
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was sitting on back porch having my morning coffee. Looked over and saw a large silver, shiny, round disc hovering and slowly moving to the right over neighbors house. It was about 620 ft from me, about 40 ft off the ground. It was bigger than a average size house. It made no noise and when I went to grab my phone out of my lap to record, it literally went invisible within a second. It stayed slowly hovering for at least 40 seconds from the time I noticed it to the time I went to grab my phone. I’m freaked out and scared.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #176890). 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.

I noticed what appeared to be a really bright star that was simply to close to earth. I kept my eyes on it & noticed it was silently very slowly moving. I took several pictures before taking the video everytime i zoomed in appeared to have many lights around the disc. A few beams of light flashed down to the area & the light became brighter. Like a flash from a camera. The middle light was bigger & slowly turning clockwork as if it was scanning the area. Ir stayed "scanning" for over an hour. I watched attentively until i got spooked for it appeare to know or at least i felt it "knew" i was watching for it was moving my way, pointing the big light my way so i stayed away from window & stopped recording. Oh, there was a steady red dot behing it the entire time as well.
