Teardrop over O'Fallon, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Walking the dog very early this morning, at about 230 AM Central Time (MO); from behind me (SE) going a silent, bright white, ball/tear shaped object flew incredibly fast (well over aircraft speed), and very low (not over a thousand feet) right above my head, straight into the the distance(NW). It was not flying up nor down, just straight ahead; and it disappeared just like a lightbulb being shut off. It was not a drone or a plane or a shooting star. I'm positive because of the sheer ODD characteristics. Its altitude of maybe 1000ft, it was I'm guessing about a 25ft in circumference, who the shape was not just an orb of light. It was an object of light, if that makes any sense. I wish I had a better way of describing this. It was just very abnormal and without any logic of my own at least. I have never believed in "the unknown". I am hoping someone will help me understand what I saw, and for it to be something of my universe. This is not something I'm even sharing with family or friends. I can not rationally explain what I saw. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

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.

At 3AM, I went out to lay in the grass and smoke a cigarette. I watched something star-like hover in place at first, but then it started to zig zag, it also moved in circular motions. I watched it until 5AM, at which point it started to fly away fast in a straight line.

It literally lasted all of 5 second just zoom across the sky into the clouds if I didn't look up I wouldn't have ever noticed it flying by, it was that silent.

UAPs 10/22/20 1:54:54 PM It was early afternoon and I was driving on an outer service road heading to the grocery store. It was a mostly clear day and I noticed some chem-trail activity in the sky when an airplane came into my view. It seemed a bit odd-shaped and I wasn’t quite sure if I was seeing an airplane or something else. My phone was close by so I took a quick picture. When I got home, I looked at the picture and was surprised to see some orb-like UAPs with a misty object hovering close by.

My son and I were coming home around 8 pm when we look to the W and noticed probably 10-12 orange lights in the sky. We both said it looked like the big dipper. We continued to see them as we traveled approx. 1 mile then turned left to try and get closer to see what they were. At this point the next time we spotted them I was able to get a picture but this time only 5 were visible. They were ascending into the sky. Clear night and well above house and tree lines so were not Christmas lights or radio towers.

Was walking my dog and I saw this super bright white light zoom across the sky. Definitely too close/bright/fast to be a plane. saw it for less than 2 seconds and it disappeared behind the tree line

I went out to my car and noticed a low bright light cross the sky in front of me. At first I thought it was a shooting star or airplane. Then I started looking up and noticed 4 other objects hovering in the low sky with bright lights. The objects would move up/down/back/forth dimming everytime we attempted video. I was able to get some pictures using my cell & the Camera360 app once I adjusted the filter & zoomed it. Each of the (UFO) had the same image except that some were vertical & some were horizontal. They stayed in the sky for hours just moving up/down & side to side. In the pictures they took on a red circle light in the middle of what appearree to resemble dark cylinder/disk space on the ends. In one of my pictures just left of the object I discover something faint white in the shape of a box hovering too. It was bearly visible in the picture. I thought I could hear a low motor of some sorts. I drove out to St. Peters and could still see the objects in the sky & could hear the sound. Still. On my way back, another object appearred low in the sky looking West on Mexico Rd.
