Light over Mountain View, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Boyfriend, 11 1/2 month old daughter and I were traveling home from town, traveling west down our gravel road and my boyfriend spotted bright white light, that appeared smaller than helicopter size and was completely silent, following the car hovering at about tree top level. We stopped the car, I got out and made an attempt to snap a photo with my cell phone, the light was gone before the picture could take.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111366). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

We watched for about 5 mins but the object never moved then we finally lost sight of it. We could see the Chen trails from two planes in the same proximity and this was nothing at all like that, and MUCH larger. We did take a picture as we drove.
