Changing over Republic, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was looking out the South windows of my home when I seen a fireball colored sphere right above the tree line... At first i thought it was a lantern, like you light and send off at 4th of July, but after I got to watching it I knew it wasn't... It changed shape (sphere to cylinder) and color variation (red, orange, yellow) as it dipped above and below the tree line... It when on approx. for an hour appearing and disappearing. Very odd shape and no sound at all… Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

Two separate super bright lights/looked to be round in shape space type ship. They were approximately 1 mile away. One light was hovering 300ft in air and one about 100ft higher to its side. They were completely still for around 2 minutes. Then the higher ship took off first in a flash then then shortly after the 2nd ship followed. Looked like streaks of light when they took off so fast. Never seen anything move that fast.

There were multiple lights that moved together like a school of fish but looked like a worm in the sky. It was much higher than planes. While we watched it moving across the sky it disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) I am going to provide a map for a better idea on longitude and latitude below. We were on Farm Road 1000 coming around the first corner you will see veering off to the left on the map driving south towards the intersection of Farm Road 2280 in Washburn, Mo. I used the fire station as a reference point because it is probably less than a 1/2 mile from where we first seen it at 9:33 pm, Sunday May 27th. Farm Road 1000, or as locals know it, Fletcher ridge is a dirt road, so we were going pretty slow. By our location we turned right, the map view on the link, you will see in opposite view, heading toward Farm road 2280. We noticed odd lights as we were at the corner to our left, we were fascinated because it didn't look like a plane, then we saw it was hovering and the lights were not normal. Then it shot to the right of us, in the blink of an eye, a little beyond the fire station and starting hovering again. That's when we got a better view of the lights. There were white and green lights, way larger than a commercial jet and the belly of it had a LARGE red circular light with lights within it. By this time we were at the intersection fascination went to fear. So if there we other colors, I don't know, but I know it had white, green and a very large red underbelly and much larger than a commercial plane. We took a left and got the heck out of there. I don't think we have ever hit the main road so fast. We live in Republic, MO, and close to SFG and see planes every night out on our patio. We have never seen anything like this before. We grew up in the area and spent many nights backroading in our teen years and NEVER seen anything like this. There we two of us who witnessed this. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMG4G1_Washburn_Fire_Dept_Station_2 ((END ADDENDUM))

Came up from above the treeline on my way to school. It was extremely bright, almost like a star. I couldn't really tell the shape because it was too bright. It was just a white light, no red blue or green. Me and my brother at first thought it was an airplane, until it quickly disappeared into the clouds.
