The report, as filed
While driving north on I-55 through Missouri, I saw a UFO. Around mile marker 17 near Hatti, MO, I saw a fast moving object coming towards me at a low altitude. At first I thought it was a fighter jet but it was moving so fast and made no sound. As it got closer, I saw it was saucer shaped, but flat and squared off on the bottom. The entire front bottom edge was lit up a bright blue on the side coming towards me. If it was a fighter jet the bright glow should've been on the back side. It couldn't have been more then 500-1,000 feet above the ground. I've never seen anything like it and I've been around a lot of military jets.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #130575). 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.
