Fireball over Seguin, TX
Resolved to a known cause by an investigating body, with the identification on the record.
The report, as filed
9:44 PM 08.26.2023 We were swimming in our pool and looked up to the west and saw a bright light flying to the East with a huge white cloud around it. At first glance it appeared to be a plane flying through the clouds or meteor or something of the sorts falling and then we realized that there’s not a cloud in the sky. I jumped out to grab my phone to film it and as I was looking down to it my husband said, “It’s gone.” it just vanished. Nothing to the East like a meteor dissipated or like lights went off for a moment. It just vanished. No we don’t do drugs. No we aren’t drinking. Please tell me someone else saw this???

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.

Metallic object with two metallic round ends with a thin metallic body was observed. The object in question was metallic in my opinion since I feel that it's reflection camouflaged with the sky. There was no clouds at the time and the figure moved slowly from right to left as I drove towards it, and disappeared almost immediately after approximately 4 seconds.

Driving in my car I saw a black object floating in the sky over a field. I pulled over to get a better look. It was moving but not very much. Seemed to be pacing me or just still. I took few pictures and 1 video with my phone. It was getting dark. I turned my car around to face the other direction and looked up and it was gone. I had eyes on it for ten minutes or so. It was solid black in a tear shaped but it did have bright white light flashing from its center.

I Always Look Up In Sky Since I Was Told About UFOs...I Was Sitting In My Backyard And Noticed The Odd Shaped Flying Craft..Usually I Would Think It Be Round, Truangular Shaped Or Fottball Field One. It Was A Straight Line With White Lights Not Flashing. Like A Flying Train. From My View, It Came From Northwest To SouthEast Diagonally. As It Passed My Location, 15 Seconds Later It Was As If The Lights Slowly Dimmed Away And I No Longer Seen It. And Of Course As I Was Getting My Phone To Take A Picture Or Video, My Device Decided To Act Up So It Was Impossible. Minutes Later,From That Point, Right Above Me, I Noticed Two Stars From Which I Thought They Were, First One (Big)Came From NorthEast To SouthWest Out Of Nowhere Just Appeared And Moved, Then Two Seconds Later The Second One(Small) Came From SouthWest To NorthEast And As Both Came In Contact Above Me, The Big One Dissapeared Once They Crossed Eachother, Then 4 Sevonds Later The Smaller One Dissappear! s..Now If Its Military, Why Not Let It Be Known To Not Get It Confused With A Actual UFO. Or If It Was Mufon Why Not Let Its Citizens Know They Were Performing. I Dont Know, Whatever It Was, It Was Not The Usual Plane Or Helicopter. Its An Odd Shaped Craft No Noise Whatsoever...

Myself and the accompanying witness work in a water treatment plant, as we were walking along the catwalk we noticed flashing lights above us, it would flash white lights then disappear for up to 10 seconds at a time. It was moving at a steady speed but after it would disappear it would reappear in a completely different location offset from its original course. It seemed as if an airplane was attempting to follow it.

I went outside in my back yard and noticed a large, brighter than normal "star" that was not moving, through the trees. As I looked closer I saw it had white, red and green lights.When I measured with my arm out in front of me, it was about 45 degrees above horizon. I have a porch light, but the yard is large and at the back of the yard it is very dark. Because of the trees blocking my view, I went into the street in front of my house and saw it was cone/triangular in shape but very long and narrow. I started trying to take a picture of it because my and my neighbor's porch lights were both off but, because a camera on a phone is not good quality, all I got was a larger than normal white light. My neighbor joined me in the street, and I asked him what he saw. He said "I don't know, that isn't normal." I asked him if he saw red, white and green colored lights and he said "Yes." There was also a small aircraft with 2 blue lights flying by that was easily identified as an airplane. I went back out at 20:19pm, stood in the same place in the street, and it is gone. I saw another craft in June. I put a short video on Youtube titled "Star Gazing Over Texas."
