Unspecified over Monett, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Went out to smoke on my covered patio shortly after midnight, could hear the crickets and coyotes carrying on and low rumbling in the distance off to the west. Crickets fell silent, the sound got louder, like pulsating rumbling and whooshing, took several minutes to pass west to east, I didn't leave the patio to look but the sound was definitely coming from the sky. a few minutes after I couldn't hear it I could hear high flying jets also moving west to east.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #147251). 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.
