Sphere over Dallas, FL
A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
Saw three UAP / UFO orb shaped bright lights aligned nearly vertical in sky while landing at DFW Airport. The 3 lights / orbs seemed stationary until the top orb seemed to suddenly jot to left for few seconds before disappearing near the end of my sighting. Video attached. In the video, you can clearly see some type of regular aircraft moving from right to left through the bottom of light formation. But the 3 bright orbs never moved. Once the aircraft passed through a good distance, the top orb seemed to flicker to left in sky and simply disappear from view. The orbs were 3 different colors. The bottom was a beautiful deep orange amber hue in color, the middle orb was a very light amber/ more yellow in color and the top orb was more white -incandescent color. Sighting took place while we landed at DFW and we were taxiing to the terminal. It only lasted a few minutes because I lost sight once the pilot made a sharp turn. I was sitting in front left side of airplane - so I believe the sightings were in SW (more West) direction looking outside airplane window. My husband and I both saw the lights.

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.
