Sphere over kansas city, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw what people are calling starlink in the northeast sky close to excelsior springs and they were coming down slowly to land on the earth. Almost straight down, semi-evenly spaced stars. it could not be starlink, they were not falling, they were decending slowly. i could not see the ground where they were heading.

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.
