Changing over St. James/Rolla, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Traveling westbound on I-44. I was about mile marker 192. My vehicle was between St. James and Rolla, Missouri. I spotted the orange orb traveling from North to South. I thought I may be a meteor but it never broke apart and it also maintained the same altitude. Was on the way to work so I didn't stop to get video. I don't think it would have even shown up. I have had numerous sightings over a 30 year period. I work overnights at a hotel, and an entrepreneur.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #175994). 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.
