Light over St Roberts, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Brightest light in the sky. Straight and fast path then the light dimmed suddenly and then dimmed again to a very small light like one of the smallest stars in the sky then disappeared. There was no trail or tail and had a very direct path with no curve.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #148951). 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.
