Other over Creve Coeur, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While performing a mapping project and monitoring a mapping drone i.e. I am looking up to keep the drone in sight I noticed a black and white tumbling object at what "appeared" to be very high altitude (thousands of feet vs a small object closer to the ground) above the general area I was working in. No visible exhaust or means of propulsion. The object did not appear to be traveling in a linear motion i.e. like a fixed wing aircraft but was maintaining position while it rotated on all axis changing from black to white i.e. one or more surfaces where white black. It appeared to have some flat surfaces almost like a cube. I looked away and could not relocate the object. Weather conditions were clear with bright sunshine and a wispy cloud layer at very high altitude.

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.
