Triangle over St Louis, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
This ufo I saw overhead seemed to be flying low and was quite large. It appeared to almost be invisible. Like it had some sort of cloaking device. It appeared to refract and bend the light in a way that outlined its triangle shape. It seemed to bend the air around it even though it appeared to also be nearly invisible. I saw the bending of the light as it moved forward until it finally disappeared. The light was faint and barely detectable. I’ve never seen anything like this and it’s hard to put into words what I witnessed. The “craft” didn’t appear to have lights of its own … it appeared to be bending the light pollution from the city around it. It appeared like a haze around an otherwise invisible craft. It was utterly silent and made no noise.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #173116). 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.
