Other over Maryville, IA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Craft spotted very distantly NNE of Lake Mozongo outside of Maryville. The craft consisted of 2 vertical parallel light formations with 4 lights in each row and the lowest light on the bottom left track was exceptionially. From the bright light there also appeared to be a diagonal tail to the left that flickered as if the bright light sent a signal down that came back. This tail appeared to have at least 4 lights. Floated in the same spot for some time until it was no longer visible due to the strength of the full moon and clear sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #122301). 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.
