Light over Kansas City, RI
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While sitting on the steps of the WW1 memorial during a family trip, myself and my fiancé were staring at the stars. My fiancé pointed out a star that she said appeared to be moving in relation to the other stars near it. She pointed out a “star” that had two underneath it in a triangle pattern. It appeared that the top “star” might have been moving up and down slightly in relation to the other stars. I couldn’t be sure if it was, because the movements were so small I thought it could be my eyes wanting to see something that wasn’t there. As we were staring at this top star for roughly a minute, all of a sudden the bottom right star of the triangle pattern made a rapid movement upwards far past the reference point of the top star, then made a right at a 45 degree angle and disappeared. I couldn’t tell if the second movement was actually moving right or just pulled a great distance away. The movement was exactly like the UAP’s seen in the Navy videos and others like 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.
