Changing over Taylor, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I wanted to yell at my husband but he was asleep on the couch after a grueling day of going to the doctor in St. Louis so I didn't wake him. I ran to our back door and looked out...I felt scared..I heard no sound. I was afraid to go outside. I returned to the window and watched it float over our farm field to the east over the Mississippi River toward Quincy Illinois. It made no sense to me. I hesitated to make the report because I don't know what it was. Why didn't I take a picture or record it.?...that disturbs me that I did not do this.. I was so mesmerized that it didn't occur to me until later. I watched it for six minutes until it was out of my sight. An airplane would not take six minutes to go over my house. It was like I was under a spell because I know that a video or picture is imperative..I did know to note the time though. Thank you.

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.
