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 witness at Liberty was traveling to work around 5:30-5:40 am and noticed what appeared to be an aircraft in the sky in the distance. But something was off about the light placement on this "airplane". He thought it was odd, but didn’t give it much thought after that. He proceeded to 291 South in Liberty MO. Shortly after that he passed Liberty Parkway, he noticed the same light pattern from which he thought was a plane, directly in front of his vehicle. The craft couldn’t have been anymore than 40-50 feet off the ground flying to the west. He got a good look at the craft, and it was a triangular-shaped, very dark, almost black in color. It had red and green lights at the points of the craft. The object made absolutely no noise at all. As he passed it, it continued west for about another two to three blocks. It then stopped right above this tree line that is right off of 291. That’s when the red and green lights shut off, and the craft had these circular lights that illuminated around the craft. He kept driving, in utter shock. He kept checking his rear view mirror until he got over the hill, and lost site of it. There was at least five to six other vehicles on 291 with him, all headed south, so other people had to have seen the same thing he saw. (MUFON CMS)

Clear night. These very tiny solid lights were traveling from the SSW to the NNE. About 40-50 degrees off the horizon. Just below Venus I believe at this time. Each light were the same distant from each other all traveling the same speed. Can tell they where very high/far off in space.

Around 7pm +- 20 minutes, we noticed two bright stationary objects high in the sky, looking up towards the north. They remained motionless as planes went underneath them. They were about 1/2 mile apart and must have been very large as using commercial jets underneath as a reference. The sighting lasted approximately 30 min. We took pictures and small video, looking at the picture blown up, it appeared to be round and glowing as bright as the sun. Really remarkable and know other people around Kansas City, MO, had to have seen same objects. We will be looking to the same area tonight to see if by chance maybe a planet was the culprit. However, it was inside our atmosphere.

My wife went to smoke a cig on our backporch and saw about 16 floating moving lights in the sky she called for me in fear and i came running out. I couldnt believe my eyes I have never personally witness any ufo sightings in my life so I was a little spooked. Luckly i had my cell phone on me and started taking pictures and got a video of them as well. They were moving around making very weird signs in the sky and the last sign they made was a arrow pointing into space. Then they slowly disappeared. There were still a couple left but slowly disappeared as well. I am not a hoaxer or prankster and I have better things to do with my life then report ufo sightings. But i just felt like i needed to report this in being it is real and it is not hoaxed.
