Diamond over St. Louis, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Saw 4 large very bright Ufo's cross the sky form south to north. one would go horizon to horizon then the next would come. So I stepped outside around 10:45 and noticed a very large bright "halo" coming towards me. It came straight overhead and was probably 2x the size of the moon at that point, (clear hot humid night with no moon) no sound! so i was looking up trying to take this thing in. it was a defined diamond shape,yellow orange, with a "burning/flickering" "flame", white, in the forward corner of the diamond. The diamond shape around the flame seemed to jump and dance around leading me to believe it was not a solid thing, rather a diamond shaped halo. Tthese things moved fast... horizon to horizon in about 3 min. no sound, no change of direction. I looked straight up at this thing which almost looked like a hot-air balloon in the jet stream...but there was no basket... looking straight up could still see the flame and diamond halo. very crazy experience.

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 was no noise as I am used to seeing jets go over. These had no noise and did not change their path. Each seemed to originate from same area of the skyline and disappeared in the same area of skyline. They were about 20 seconds apart from each other. I have seen many things but not like these.

Circular shape, round like a ball, black, gliding very smoothly and passing by fairly quickly. When I zoom in on the picture, there seems to be some kind of circular field around it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

At 37000 ft. Over Missouri saw 3 to 4 lights rotating around each other. The lights would fade and dim. Tracked the sighting for 100s of miles. Also saw 2-3 shooting star like objects in the same vicinity. The rotating lights were east of the Big Dipper.

Multi color lights alternately appearing , disappearing in the sky above the treeline much like a drone array only no structure seen and much larger in width than a common drone. When I went to the window to get a closer look I heard a loud powerful propulsion lasting a couple seconds then no more to report. During the time I saw lights there was no sound just silence. After the propulsion noise no more sighting.

I was driving at tesson ferry and reavis road 63123 and reavis road when I looked up and saw 3 bright star looking objects but mich brighter than stars. When I turned I pulled over to get a better view with 2 other men at the gas station who were outside watching the flying objects. 2 other people saw them that were driving In a. Jeep. 3 crafts that had blinking lights red and blue under them. They seemed to stop in the sky line up all 3 diagonally stand still. Then move all different directions and continued to slowly fly in different directions after that. We heard no noise.

I was on a 30 min break outside, it was 30 degrees with a light breeze, approximately 0137AM-0141AM. As I was sitting outside of my building (Anthem STL) steps (facing toward the Union Station Hotel above the left side of the building in sky @ 130-150 degrees SE), I caught a very quick glance of a bright white flash it was a perfectly orb/spherical like figure that had appeared to be zipping downwards at what appeared to be curve and right as it was doing that it disappeared in the sky it was clear a night/morning no clouds were visible.
