Triangle over Boonville, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were traveling East on Hwy 70 around the 100 to 106 Mile Marker. We were in the passing lane, when the craft came across both lanes (from the North) at a very very low altitude (Just above the tree line). We all look and our first thought was a Drone, as we own one, but then quickly realized the size was too large for a drone. It was triangle in shape with three lights, one at each corner that was the color of white and blue. The craft climbed altitude quickly in a southward direction. We were able to see the craft for several minutes. I immediately downloaded a flight tracker app and opened, but no crafts matched the location and path. I also checked the stats for take offs at the closest airport in Booneville, MO, but on airplanes were reported at that facility for the date and time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #136111). 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.

I went outside with my dog to let him out before bed, happened to look to the northwest and saw three bright white lights low on the horizon to the N/NW. They did not seem to be very close but I could see them well. At first I thought they were stars but I thought they seemed too low on the horizon to be that bright and shortly after noticing the three bright lights in an acute triangle shape, the top one faded out and the bottom two tilted at an angle to the right and faded out. After that I continued watching as the lights would get really bright and fade in and out. I saw a plane with red flashing lights which is normal for here but it seemed to go towards the formation and I could no longer see it once it got in the area of where I saw the lights. At one point one of the lights got really bright and another one looked like it came right up to touch the other and then faded away. The lights continued to fade in and out and I thought they seemed to be moving in a clockwise circular motion as they faded and got bright again probably every minute or two until eventually I could no longer see them after about ten minutes. I could not get any sky pictures with my iPhone but I looked at an app I have called Flightradar24 to see what planes might be in the area and there was nothing in the direction that I saw the lights in.
