Triangle over Weldon Springs, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside smoking and drinking on Friday Night, just after midnight. I look up at the stars often and this time I glanced up to see three dim white lights in a perfect triangle shape move in a gliding motion a couple hundred feet above the tree line. It was fairly quick and way to low to be a satellite which was my first guess. No sound what-so-ever even though I can hear airplanes passing by way above the altitude of what this "ufo" was flying. The moon was fairly bright but the body of the craft was still pitch black, even though it was flying so low. Very odd experience. Floated across my view in about 10 seconds, no rotation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #111684). 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.
