Oval over Stockton, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was outside in the summer in my backyard. It's been a while, so I'm most likely misremembering the date, but I know it was around 1 p.m. or so. I was just bored as heck, standing around and sitting in a swing-chair, until I walked across my backyard to where I can see above a nearby neighborhood and the trees, where I saw a fairly distant (a few miles most likely) grey, mostly flat object that had what looked like a dome, but it seemed to be at an angle pointing a bit towards me but not entirely. I've good distance vision despite bad eyesight, and I saw it stay still for half a minute, but caught it flying off due west so quickly that it was a blur. I wish it was a tad closer for more detail, but I assume it was there for longer before I looked at it. I've no idea, but I soon went inside while just trying to not acknowledge it.

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.

Our dog started barking as he looked out the back window, thinking it was an animal, we immediately noticed a large light right above our tree line. It just sat there, pulsing, getting quick glances of red or orange. I took 2 photos but then started taking video. I kept very still and had my hands propped in order to stay still. You can see the object slowly moving eventually. Finally after about 20 minutes it was gone. It is a very clear night. My husband and I can clearly see constellations. It had to be a number of miles away.
