Light over Cherokee Pass, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Western sky! Bright light about 70 degrees,, moves up and down then to circles! Has came back the last week in the same spot and will move every min or so. Went out about midnight and it was straight up above me! One light stays bright pla plus another one flashes and this was no airplane! See airplanes pass by every night!
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #112858). 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.
