Light over Marthasville, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Warren County Missouri 5:55 AM on Sunday November 24th. While preparing to deer hunt, two hunters noticed a string of bright lights in the Northern part of the sky moving from the West to Northeast. The string of lights were in a straight line and evenly spaced for the most part and crossed the entire early morning sky. It’s difficult to estimate the number of total lights observed but was close to one hundred. Occasionally a second light would parallel the string of lights slightly above the string but at the identical pace. The lights lasted for five to ten minutes after first being observed. As the sun began to rise the lights became fainter but finished crossing the sky prior to sunrise. The lights were very high in the sky and reminded me of when a satellite or the space station goes by.

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.
