Sphere over Parkville, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We saw 1 extremely fast moving object that we thought was a satellite, but it was moving about 4 or 5 times faster than normal. We then saw another singular object about 5 minites later. These objects looked like a solid, constant hazy ball of light. These lights resembled a hazy star, but at 10 times the size and brightness, several of the objects moved from south to north but trailed off to the east and did not follow the normal trajectory of a satellite trailing off to the horizon. About 5 minutes after that we saw pack of about 30 of the same objects moving together south to north following the same path of the previous 2. After the pack came by, another 10 to 15 came over. I honestly can say I have never seen something that has given me goose bumps like this before. Please call me to follow up and for a more in depth report.

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.
