Unspecified over fenton, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was just getting out of work, turning the corner out of my works parking lot, when I looked to my left exiting I noticed a small glimmer in the sky. When I looked to observe it the object drastically increased in size very rapidly and burst into the sky with a very clear outline of shape but no audible sound (I was driving windows down, no radio playing) almost as if you would see in a comic book with "POW" written inside of it. This was the most brilliant and pure shade of white I had ever seen, incredibly pure in color. This event happened as if I was watching an old movie reel and it got to a sun faded or damaged part of it, like the movie of real life had a missing portion in its story.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #165184). 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.
