Light over St. Louis (Webster Groves), MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Multiple bright “cool” bluish white lights, all in a line – not sure how many, approx. five to seven – just a short window in which to view. Initially thought it was from fireworks, but quickly became aware that the lights were moving in unison heading west towards sunset – it was still light enough in the western sky to see there was no visible structure between the lights – the lights were not connected and were moving forward in perfect unison. We were driving south on Laclede Station Road in Webster Groves, Mo –a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. We tried to get to a better vantage point, but were not able to find them again. We’re not sure about the spacing of the lights. They did not appear to blink or strobe. No vapor trail or tail. Could not determine sound because we were in a car. The overall span approx. 600 ft.

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.
