Flash over High Ridge, MO

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I got out of my car and went to unlock the door. I was still facing the door and there was a flash of light. The flashing only lasted

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.

High Ridge, MO

I was standing in a friend's yard with Their neighbor, the sky was mostly clear only a few scattered clouds, it was around 8:30pm, when I was just looking at the sky listening to friends conversations hanging out, and all of a sudden myself and the neighbor see a long blimp like shaped object appear moving at a pretty slow speed, it had lights all across the side of it of all different colors, then it speeds up and all of a sudden it takes off so fast and moving in a way unlike anything I have ever seen before. This was not a plane, not a blimp, nothing known on earth moves the way this craft moved!
