Changing over Cassville, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The object is still visible at the same height from the horizon but the flashing or movement seems to have lessened. Red and green colors are still visible with bare eyes. The object seems to have not moved for the past 30 minutes at least now. It now looks like a larger yellow light below with green and red flashes with a smaller flashing light above. We have regular fly overs of medical helicopters so my initial thought was that, but when it didn’t move I realized it was something else. At 10:27, it is possibly twice as high from the horizon as when we first saw it and is getting dimmer. When looking through binoculars, the object seemed to be wildly spinning or rotating, and my husband thought it seemed to change shape and spiral around. My husband is a retired scientist and I am a retired teacher. This is our first report we have filed but not the first unexplained object in the sky we have seen during our adult lives.

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.

Cassville, MO
We were coming home from bowling and saw a glowing red ball moving slowly across the sky as it got closer it had a trail of sparks behind it like a fire work but it travels from north to the southeast across the entire skyline and kept flying. Too slow to be a meteorite. I’d say it was about 1000 ft above the ground but seemed closer at first.

Bright fiery light followed by long lasting rumbling (1 minite approximately), every animal around ie: dogs, horses, cows, chickens, coyotes all went nuts calling out and searching for cover. News report mentioned it but nothing concrete as to what it was... Possibly a meteor?
