Rectangle over Afton, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Massive glowing amber yellow rectangle flying way high in the sky, maybe, near the stratosphere, really slowly crept across sky and very slowly shrank into a barely visible dot that disappeared. An older style rounded wing silver airplane was flying low in the sky beneath it when I noticed it and had my mother come confirm what I saw. I tried to film with my LG Volt cellphone, but only saw sky in the viewer.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #123249). 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.

I was standing outside with my girlfriend smoking a cigarette around 1 AM when we saw 2 aircraft, triangular shaped with red and white lights. They were coming from the Northwest heading toward the East. We thought it was a drone, since we couldn't hear anything, but after doing more research, I thought I would post to this sight since there was the same sighting around the same time and day already posted to this sight but just south of m area. I recorded the aircraft with my phone but after reviewing the footage, all I can see is a white light for a second, and that is it.
