Sphere over Texarkana, AR
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I thought it was a star until I saw slight motion and realized it was hovering over my neighborhood. I was sure it was a helicopter in a cloud but it didn’t move like a helicopter and there was no noise. I stood paralyzed because I couldn’t make sense out of it, I grabbed my phone and got one picture was trying to record it as I ran down my street following it, it was moving across the sky, not away from me. It disappeared. I’ve lived here for 11 years and I’m familiar with the air traffic and I watch the stars at night from my back yard. Not a star, not a plane, not a helicopter, not a drone, not a balloon. Ive never made a report.

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.

The controller suggested it could possibly be a STARLINK satellite. Memphis ARTCC Quality Control Office is submitting the UFO Report online as a follow-up to the occurrence report.

At times, there were 20 seconds between flashes. The flash was a round white light, about ten times the size of a star, with the colors red, blue and green in the center. The object hovered in relatively the same area. It would veer to the left but ended by moving to the right and then dissappeared.
