Sphere over Blackwell, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I went outside in the backyard and looked up and saw numerous objects flying over the house at a high altitude in a straight line with equal-distant spacing. They were traveling in an east, north-east direction. At arms length, they were approximately 1 foot apart. They were traveling six to ten times the speed of a commercial jet. They were white and did not strobe like a commercial jet. While observing them with binoculars, I saw bright lights cross their paths at extremely high speed like a meteor. I did not observe any sound. I called relatives two miles away and they were able to also view them.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153901). 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.
