Light over Ste. Genevieve, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Noticed a very bright light in the sky that seemed to stay in the same spot. The light continued to stay in the same area and became dim and then bright again. We took a photo of it and it appeared cigar shaped in the photo but may have just been movement as the object was quite far away. It seemed to be out toward the Hawn Park Road or Farmington area. We continued to watch looking for some sort of movement and suddenly it was simply gone. We tried to find it to see if it had moved to another area but it never showed up again. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #131648). 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.
