Sphere over Kirkwood, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
On April 26, 2020, was I was out on my back patio, gathering up items to take inside the house because there was a report of “rain overnight”, and I looked up, just in time to see a bright, white, ball of light rapidly moving horizontally from south to north suddenly disappearing into my neighbor’s tree line. It appeared to be the size of a basketball and was approximately 100 feet away from me and maybe 75-100 ft. from the ground and quickly disappeared behind my neighbor’s tree line. I just stood there for a moment dumbfounded, as I tried to decipher what it was, I had just seen? I have no idea what it was…

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.
