Light over Wheatland, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Three orange/yellow lights it was bright I thought it was a drone, helicopter, plane, or even one of those candle lanterns, but no it wasn't it made the cows go crazy and it disappeared then cows stopped it came back and they went crazy again it disappeared out of sky so fast and would move to other spots in the field and leave it was oval looking but not sure it shocked me never seen one before but I do believe it was a UFO because it was oddly shaped and didn't seem right and how the animals were reacting.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135488). 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.
