Fireball over Fenton, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
At about 12:38am in Fenton, Missouri, I saw a orange globe shaped light floating in the sky. Figuring it was a helicopter I thought nothing of it until I noticed no audible sound coming from the object. No later than a minute after another appeared from the same direction with a slow pace gliding through the sky.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #124989). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

My coworker and I were exiting a small pharmacy we worked at, we were talking for a couple of minutes, when I noticed an Oval shaped craft, about a thousand feet up. It seemed to have a silvery white skin, and it was just sitting there; when suddenly, the skin turned fuzzy, and started moving, like butter, up Northbound 270 pass Hwy 44. It moved effortlessly, super fast and zero sound. Crazy experience!

We were driving east, when we saw a bright light with a flashing green light fly over us also heading east. My first thought based on speed and altitude was a single engine airplane or a helicopter. But soon as we saw it and I had time to think that, the light shot eastward and disappeared in less than a second. Couldn't have been a shooting star based on altitude and it was overcast. Not sure what we saw but it definitely wasn't natural. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Wife and I were at a Fireworks viewing at our friends house, and during the neighbor display as we watched my wife and friends wife noticed some light strung out along the horizon. There were planes flying in the area and were obviouis that they were planes with proper lighting. I heard them mention the lights but paid no attention as I was watching the firework display. My wife said is that an airplane what is it. So about 22:30 we left the gathering and headed home. When we got to the intersection of HWY 30 and Summit Rd in Fenton, my wife said there it is again. She was driving and I rolled down the window and hung out looking directly up in the sky. There were light high clouds and this object was above those clouds I would say 10,000 feet maybe a maximum of 15,000 feet. It was huge according to the light patterns. There were 7 lights in a long row, with 2 lights centered just opposite the long row of lights. I would guess this craft was at least 6 or 7 football fields long maybe more. At first I thought why would there be 9 helicopters grouped like that flying in constant formation. Shortly after that I realized it was one large object moving slowing above the clouds. I told my wife Holy Crap that is a giant UFO! It is moving in sync. My wife tried to take a picture of it but the street lights were blinding out the camera when she held it up. Just about that time all 7 lights switched off and then there was only two lights and then one of those switched off. At this time traffic lights had changed and we had to go because of traffic. The more I thought about it the more I suspected we had just seen a huge craft of some sort. The craft made no noise all I heard was the car engine running. Now fast forward to July 10th. On the news channel here in St. Louis they ran a piece showing the lights in the sky and a guy talking about them. He had gotten them on a video loop and sure enough it was the same configuration of lights stretched out on the horizon. This craft is huge and it has been seen several times over the St. Louis Metropolitan area. If you look into reports filed at local TV stations you may be able to get the video. That video has on it exactly what we say above us July 4th.
