Triangle over Belton, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
A black massive triangle shaped ufo with blinking orangish lights on each corner (3) was slowly hovering from the west heading east. The sky was clear and I was able to see the stars. The ufo blacked out the stars and I could see the 3 corners of the craft continuously blinking nonstop. The craft was obviously massive but oddly I heard no sound. The craft suddenly but slowly changed direction and headed south. After a few minutes the craft was out of sight.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #160518). 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.

Moved in strange ways to be considered an aircraft or helicopter. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

I was at work today sitting at my desk. The office door was open. Thought I heard geese flying over. Went outside to look for them and noticed a white object moving straight north. Thought maybe it was a single goose, and started realizing that this was an aircraft, but it was moving at an extremely high speed and made zero sound. It was white with a black spot on the bottom.
