Triangle over Barnhart, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Weather condition, Very clear bright blue sky. Object was not traveling at high rate of speed. Distance roughly less then a mile up. I would say default cloud level. But no clouds. The Object was thin. Flying upwards, no sound at all was being made. The Object vanished. It did not fly away. My wife was with me but I did not point out the object. I did not want her to think I lost my mind. My eyes never left my line of site. It was there for a good 2 minutes.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #151925). 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.
