Sphere over Bonne Terre to Desoto, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Driving NB 67 , bonne terre around Eagle Estates trailer park and St Francois state park, on the left side towards the NW sky, seen 2 Huge Orbs of light close to each other. One abit higher than the other. very very bright and then would slowly dim out to the point where you could not see them whatsoever together. It lasted maybe 5 minutes. It was hard to see while driving since the trees were in the way. Bright whitish lights. No flashing erratically or anything like that. They werent moving either. No way it was a plane or drone. I seen a couple planes go by very high in the sky flashing red etc. will try to get pictures next time.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #177938). 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.
