Light over Jasper, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was in my deer stand while hunting early in the morning, facing due west. As I looked up into the sky, I saw a massive yellow light, bigger and brighter than any star. The light began to move in a figure eight pattern for about 3 minutes before suddenly stopping. It sat completely still for about 30 seconds before completely disappearing, as if it was a light being turned off.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #149794). 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.
