Light over Poplar Bluff, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was driving home from work on '53' outside of Poplar Bluff when a bright blue light appeared at what looked like 300 to 400 feet in the air. I was on a stretch of highway 53 where there where only fields and there where no other vehicles for at least five miles. As it appeared it was moving east towards Burnie Missouri. It was skyblue in color and did not have any flashing lights or trial. It was moving faster than a car but slower than a plane. It then vanished as subtlety as it appeared. The entire incident lasted about five to ten seconds.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157067). 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.
