Large, Reflective Rectangle

Saw a strange Rectangle in the sky out of the corner of my eyes while looking up at the stars. I observed it long enough to see it's shape, but the center of the rectangle seemed to be cloaked with the night sky. I saw it for about 1-2 seconds, staying at a consistent speed before the object seemed to vanish from my sight. Almost as if it had "walked" behind a wall. The object made no noise that I could hear, due to the highway directly behind where I live. The object had no visible lights that I could see.

Seen several lights flying together in the night sky.

This is the second time I've seen around 15 small lights flying in the sky at night together like a flock of birds. So this time it was in a different location in the sky. Same color lights. Same size. There seemed to be more of them this time tho. & they still moved like a flock of birds but it was a little bit messyish this time. They move faster than air planes that's for sure. The distance it traveled before going back into the clouds would have taken a plane maybe eh idk let's say 10 sec..these things can travel that Same distance in 3 sec. Sounds crazy I know but I was just sitting there thinking I wonder if I'll ever see that again and then I looked up and here these lights come popping out the clouds and going back in again. I 100% believe that is aliens now after seeing it again. I'm baffled and amazed.

Vehicle in the night sky at low altitude experiences technical difficulties with active camouflage.

Being November it was very dark. We were in the middle of town at a park. There was light pollution around us but we were still very able to see stars in the sky. Many of them. I was with my daughter, she was on a piece of playground equipment, I looked up to her from the ground as I was chasing her around the playground playing tag. It was a very very dark. As I stare up at her something flies out from behind her head, something up in the sky. I was immediately stupefied. From my perspective it appeared massive. From my perspective it appeared massive. Unreasonably large. Oppressively large. Stop you in your tracks dead large. Doesn’t belong in the sky large. All I could say to her was ‘Look..’ and I pointed. She turned around and I saw her body froze immediately when she saw it and was also stupefied. I was generally facing east and it was flying to the east by south east. I don’t know what it was. It’s speed, it’s absolute silence, it’s perceived massive! size weren’t the concerning or alarming part.

The absolutely unsettling part about it was how it appeared, I don’t mean how it arrived, I mean how it looked. I will do my best to describe the shape but when you understand how it appears you’ll understand you are not able to see it’s shape. I am a grown man, I fought in three wars, i’ve seen horrible things... I have never witnessed something that froze me in my place. The appearance of this thing is terrifying. We left the park immediately, I called the police for god sake, and the Air Force Base.

I am unable to determine if it was very large and very far away, or somewhat smaller and closer. Regardless, it was very fast and absolutely silent. It flew anywhere from 100 yards overhead to maybe half a kilometer. What was shocking about it was that you could not see it. It appeared to be so massive. This is difficult to describe but I will attempt to paint a clear picture. I couldn’t tell if it was a wing shape, or if it was like a bell on its side, or like the USPS logo. It was invisible but you could see it. Imagine looking up at the sky, seeing stars everywhere, now cut out the shape of some sort of wing-bell-wedge shape and move it across the sky. It had stars on its surface. Bright stars. It’s like there was a television in the sky with a camera behind it showing me the stars. As the television moves the camera shows the stars behind the television. But for whatever reason the television stopped working and the stars were frozen in place on the surface of whatever i! t was. Does that make sense? It was like it had moving camouflage but the camouflage stopped moving. It was so massive that its movement was absolutely apparent. It looked like someone took a photo of the sky, with stars, and wrapped it around an airplane.

It was too close. It wasn’t an accident, it wasn’t like a crash or something. It was right where it wanted to be and it was moving right above us and headed to my right. It was totally silent. It wasn’t something like you see on television, it wasn’t a far away dot or a trash can floating two miles away. It was a car, a house, or a cruise ship sized object. It was so large that you almost could feel it’s movement, imagine looking up and seeing a blue whale flying over your head through the bottom of an aquarium. But it was invisible. You could see the stars through it but for some reason the stars on its surface froze or stopped moving and when they did it exposed the movement of this massive hulking monolithic vague shape of moving stars cruising just over head.

Red light reverses direction.

Was on the back deck at my friends house when we saw a red light that I initially thought was an airplane moving in a straight line some distance away and didn't think anything of it until it instantly reversed direction and went back the way it came before going forward again and moved in a kind of T shaped pattern before disappearing behind a large tree. It also changed colors from red to white a couple times but it wasn't flashing. It's difficult to judge but it seemed to be a good distance away below the cloud cover.

The distance it traveled and the speed at which it maneuvered such as when it instantly reversed the direction it was going would be impossible for any kind of helicoptor or plane I know of.

About twenty minutes later a helicoptor was flying in the opposite direction roughly the same distance from us as the light. Which stuck out to us because of how loud it was and the flashing lights. The ufo was completely silent and it's single light wasn't flashing like the ones on the helicoptor. It also seemed way too bright and fast to be a drone of some kind.

I stepped out my front door that faces East. A very bright star caught my eye. As I looked at it, I noticed what looked like a satellite passing by it. I watched a few more seconds and saw another behind it traveling at the exact speed and direction, northeast. I went to my back deck, where there was very little light to see more clearly. About 30-40 of these objects passed by, at what seemed like a very high altitude, over about 10 minutes. I went to get others from inside to observe as well. Four of us all saw the same objects clearly, and could not explain them.

I saw a white dot of light (aka dropping orb) as it dove behind a nearby hill.

A fleet of mysterious UAS had been appearing nightly for weeks all over Nebraska. On the night of 1/15/20, I read 2 online reports of multiple low-flying drones in the area of Panama, NE and Blue Springs, NE. I drove out to see for myself, but when I arrived at these 2 locations, I saw only navigation lights of aircraft so high up that I assume they were airliners.

After midnight, I had parked my car 5 miles east of Blue Springs, NE, and observed the sky from 0:15 to 1:30 am. At 0:45, my attention was focused on a bright yellow star (Arcturus), when my peripheral vision alerted me to motion on my left side. I immediately looked left and saw a fairly bright dot of white light above the top of a hill just ahead of me. It dropped behind the hill so quickly that it was visible for less than a second.

I waited for 10 minutes to see if it would reappear. When it didn’t, I drove up to the top of the hill, but saw only outdoor lights of 2 nearby farms. The ‘dropping orb’ appeared as a perfectly round dot, unlike any meteor fireball I’ve ever seen. I continued to watch the sky until 1:30 am, but saw nothing else. It was exceedingly cold that night (windchill -10 F) so its unlikely that anyone else was outside at the time.

I’m a 63-y.o. PhD virologist, and have previously filed a NUFORC report in August 2007.

Bright white with rotating colored lights-blue/red/green, silent, stationary. Visible with naked eye

Spring of 2015, I went outside about midnight & saw what I guessed was the brightest star ever. Then I could literally see rotating colored lights-blue/red/green. It was spaced between a "V" in a tree in our yard & off to the Southeast. I went inside and looked for binoculars, thinking the object would probably be gone by the time I was back. It was probably 15 minutes, but the object had not moved from the V spot I had marked it at. It was disc circular and I could see the flashing lights very well with my binoculars.

I went inside again & text my daughter (in another state). When I went back out-it was still in the same position but closer. Close enough it scared me. I went in & stayed in. It reappeared the next few nights & I showed my husband and family members.

A few days later, news reporters were telling this story about the number of people who saw it. Last night, Feb 19, 2016-my husband & I went out around 12:45 am and he said ! "Your UFO is back." It was. We went and retrieved binoculars to see the UFO with the bright white center and lashing multi colored lights. It seemed further than in the previous Spring, more Southeast than before, but very visible not only with the naked eye but with binoculars as well. It never really moves, & we never hear any sounds. We have seen this object probably 10 times in the last 10 months.

Giant city in sky that

I know this is very late but I didn't know there was a place to contact after seeing this but I'm currently watching the hangar 1 documentary on netflix and I saw the floating city.ill explain, I got off a nightshift at Jack in the box in blue springs a little after 10 ish.this was before I had my car and close to Thanksgiving. I start walking down coronado rd up to st mary's hospital and I turn right thru the first business and walk thru the open field at St Mary's. As I'm walking I'm listening to music looking down and the field lit up. Now at St Mary there is lights in the parking lots but they don't light up the field that's in-between the church And hospital. But as I'm walking the field lights up, but it wasn't a light beaming down it was lights on the aircraft. As I glance my head up I stop and stare, the air craft was like a croissant. and in white/blue/silver ish lights were all over it. in the time I thought "what the hell" it was gone. ! But when it left, it left the same as you see in movies. It's body seemed to stretch out into space. If needed to get an exact date I can pull up pay stand and check when I got my car and a couple other things that's just a rough estimate

Black floating, silent object floating lower than 300 feet not terribly high above the trees, 11:30 pm, could see the outline, but no lights on it. It was moving NNW and appeared to be in between RD Mize and HWY 7 in blue springs. Saw it out my window, then ran around out on the porch to see if maybe it was just a blackhawk helicopter and it was silent, very large, and low for a jet, if it was it would be comparable to a Jumbo Jet in size. Shape was vague but cigarish, possibly domed or thicker in the middle.

At least 12 large round bright red lights seen in sky East of Blue Springs, MO on July 1, 2012

On July 1st I was driving my van, East bound on I-70 Hwy and was just outside Blue Springs, MO which is a suburb of Kansas City, MO. I had two friends in the car with me and we were heading to Columbia, MO. It was about 9:45 pm when all of a sudden we noticed that there were at least 12 red ball lights in the sky. They spanned from south of I-70 to north of I-70. I was totally in awe and could not imagine what the sight might be. I was traveling at about 70 mph and did not want to pull onto the shoulder of the road for fear of being hit. As it was, I was driving erratically because I was so shaken by what I was seeing and wanted to continually be looking at the sky. I immediately called a friend who lives in KC and told her to turn on the news and see if she might see something about the lights on the news. It was then that she told me that there had been UFO sightings for the past month out in the Blue Springs, MO area.

The next day I began searching for information about what we saw and could not find anything. However now that I have been directed to your website I have seen several pictures of exactly what we saw which makes me at least feel like I am not losing my mind. Just last night my husband and I witnessed another UFO and I will file a separate report on that one.

Was pulling in to my mother in-laws driveway . as i was, i was also calling him telling him i was outside.as i was pressing the hang-up button . out my peripheral saw a bright object on a dark backdrop.

as my eyes focused i noticed 15 or 20 lights . from what i could tell it was flying at a odd angle. Looked as if it was circle on the bottom outlined with 3 or 4 bright white lights . and had 2 more bright lights little closer together and above the outer ones with one more bright white light above those 2 with little tiny lights along what seemed to be seems of a frame of sorts.

Eyes adjusting more, u could see a outline of a solid object. I was just looking at it dumbfounded and back at the house hoping my brother in law would walk out.. and sure enough soon as he walked outside i lost sight of it behind a tree and house. .... then 2 days later me and my wife decided to Google it. come to find out there was 9 or more people that scene it and a guy from work! . 2 reports online said it separated into individual light

orange sphere burning at the center appears over my house

Me and a friend were swimming in my pool and had been watching meteors all night and then out of nowhere a bright orange sphere just appeared overhead about 3 or 4 hundred feet up. It was burning at the center but made no noises whatsoever.

We both watched it hover in one spot for about 5 to 10 seconds, and then it just started to move towards the horizon. It didn't move much faster than a bird would fly id say. We watched it disappear over the horizon and then asked each other if we really just saw that.

We saw many planes criss crossing the area for about 30 minutes after it disappeared too.

I would have gotten a picture but I was soaking wet and my phone was across the yard

Fireball moving across the sky east to west during July 4th fireworks

On Monday evening, July 4th, my wife, son, my son’s girlfriend and I retreated to the back deck to let my 1 year-old grandson watch the neighborhood fireworks. The time, as I recall now, must have been a little after 9 pm (2100 hrs). There was still a little light in the western sky, but our deck faces east, and already our neighbors were lighting their fireworks.

Approximately 9:20 or so, I looked into the southeast sky and saw a ‘fireball,’ for lack of a better description, "moving slowly", traveling east to west. I didn’t mention it to the others, at that moment, because I had lost sight of it behind a large tree in our backyard, and wasn’t sure that it was not a plane, or just another firework.

I would say it was flying about 2-3000 feet or so (hard to determine). About 5-10 minutes later, another (or the same) ‘fireball’ appeared almost on the exact path or trajectory moving again, east to west.

This time, my son, 23, saw it and pointed it out to all of us, and exclaimed, "What is that? Is it a UFO?"

I told him I didn’t know but that this was the second time I saw it.

I ran in to get the camera but it had traveled out of sight. I did see it 2 more times, this time following it from the front porch into the western sky where it just became a small dot.

I’m surprised no one in our town or neighbors mentioned this sighting. I haven’t yet had time to download the pictures or video I took into my computer. The times the ‘fireballs’ were spotted were apx 9:20, 9:35, and 9:45.

It was a light colored magenta, not brilliant, but certainly not an airplane indicator light that flashes in a constant rhythmic pattern, more like a flame on a stove or burner unit.

4 orange flaming lights traveling south to north with 8-9 loud booms, and flashs to the north of our location.

At 10:20 PM Saturday 7/17/2010, I was sitting in bed on my laptop online when I heard a loud boom outside. Fearing someone had hit my car I looked outside to see nothing out of the ordinary, but due to the load nature of this boom I continued to scan my neighborhood. I then looked up to see that there was a orange ball of light in the sky. This ball looked to be like fire, but seemed to be in a half circle shape, rounded in the front and trailing off to the back side. I immediately called my wife to come to the window and take a look, and she came to the window and watch the events with me.

The orange light in the sky continued from south to north disappearing behind a few clouds before reemerging from the clouds. After this light had reached almost the end of our vision another orange light very much same shape as the first appeared to the south tracking about the same direction.

Then we heard a boom to the north of our house. The boom was accompanied by a bright flash that seemed to emanate from ground level, and that was very bright. This was no fireworks, it was bright white, produced shadowing effects and kind of hurt our eyes. Then this happened again, I moved to a window I could see farther north from but did not see anything burning nor any explanation for the booms or flashes.

My wife then announced to me that another one had appeared to the south same as the first two. Prior to this one even getting close to our house we heard two more loud booms each accompanied by that same bright flash. At one point I feared we were under some kind of attack mainly due to the intensity of the booms, and flashes, I dialed 911, as I awaited the dispatcher (placed on hold and transferred once since I called from my cell phone, made this call at 10:30 per my cell phone memory) I saw another one enter from the south this one on a path south to north but much closer to my house.

We heard a total of eight to nine loud booms, and saw a total of four bright orange lights. and witnessed 6 flashes, we were not at the window for all of the booms, got phone for one and was moving to different window for another, and the original boom that made me go to the window was approx 3 booms I had not been looking outside during.

The 911 dispatcher told me they had reports of fireworks in the area, but I told him it was not a fireworks display. The light was high enough to be in clouds, and was traveling south to north at a fairly slow pace for something that high in the sky, with the flash and explosions occurring farther north then the orange light in the sky, and the flash appearing to be ground level.

During the event my wife and I saw our neighbors come outside pointing into the sky at the lights, with still other neighbors looking out their windows for the origin of the booms.

I do intend to talk with them tomorrow, but wanted to file this tonight as the information was fresh on my mind.

Although I do not personally believe in Aliens or any such thing, I know today I was witness to something unidentified and flying. I am not prone to events like this, having worked 10 years as a paramedic and been very scientifically grounded I realize now, that this was something very odd and I am intent to find out what was going on.

MISSOURI INVESTIGATORS GROUP REPORT: Observed on west side of Blue Springs, MO - Sitting outside facing west watching the night sky, noted a single light appear traveling from my south moving NE, approximately 70 degrees to the horizon. Initially thought it was a satellite (have seen many and usually follow them across the night sky) as this was a small, dim blueish-white light. Object was moving very fast in a straight line with no deviation (direction of downtown Kansas City, MO), however it seemed to move faster than most satellites I have seen. No sound heard. Light then slowly turned red for 1-2 seconds (slower than a strobe light/anti-collision light on aircraft) and then back to blueish-white. This occured 3 more times before object became too difficult to see (distance and city lights in the distance). Light appeared to dissapear twice, as if passing through or above clouds (skies were clear from what I could tell, may have been very thin, high cloud! s in the area). Possible sources could have been satellite (was very similar in color, size, and altitude but this was traveling faster and I have never seen them emit red light), meteor (no tail, trailing light, or change in intensity), or military aircraft/fighter (have seen these before with a single, fast blinking red light, but to the best of my knowledge these do not emit a dim blueish-white light when moving away from viewing position).

2 UFOs Seen After A Fierce Thunder/Hail Storm

Following a fierce thunder/hail storm, my room mates and I watched as 2 UFOs remained perfectly stationary, appearing to be overlooking a not too distant lightning storm. They were slightly different in design but looked generally the same. Once the lightning slowed, one of them left in a generally calm fashion. A moment later, the other headed off into the clouds with a very sharp, fast turn. It came close enough to see it pretty well. It had 3 very bright still lights on the bottom and a bright red blinking light on the back.

Long object with no lights and birds seen underneath during a lunar eclipse about 35 feet above the ground

The object I saw was about 20 minutes before the lunar eclipse was in the earth's shadow. I was looking out my window facing east and a object appeared about 15 feet above the trees and was flat on the front, and long, longer than my house. I could distinctly see an outline but there were no lights or sound. about 1 foot inside and under the edges, were many birds. These birds were white and flying into each other and in no kind of formation, almost like they were confused. I saw many other birds all around, but the other birds were flying in a "V". The object was moving about 35 to 40 m.p.h. heading west about a mile south of I-70 headed directly for downtown Kansas City. I yelled at my wife after about 15 seconds of looking directly at it and she came into the bedroom and looked and saw the end of the object. She explains that when she saw it, it was like a perfectly straight object, almost like a giant ruler. I am convinced that what I saw was genuine, and to the best of my ability, true.

Being on a floating platform watching me from 25 feet away.

At approximately 5pm, I took a couple bags of trash outside and around the back of our duplex to the trash containers. I placed the bags in the containers and then lit a cigarette. The day was very clear and I was facing away from the house. Behind our house was a driveway, a small drainage ditch, several trees and a small business office about 100 yards away.

I felt as though someone was watching me, as I was not fond of the neighbor in the other half of the duplex. I looked around and saw no one. I continued to smoke until I detected movement from the corner of my eye up to my right and in the trees about 25 feet away. I looked up to the right and saw `something` upright and floating for a very brief time, it seemed to move away from behind one branch and go behind another. It was large though, but less than 6 feet with the device. There was a translucent globe where a head should be. I smelled this awful smell that was worse than the dirty diapers in the trash! It hung in my nostrils and my throat. It was so foul that it was almost chocking.It was obscured by the branches and just disappeared! I was paralyzed with fear as I attempted to process what I saw. I dropped the cigarrette and ran indoors to the master bedroom and retrieved a handgun. I was so terrified and confused that I was unable to look out the window for a few mi! nutes. I didn`t say anything for a few days as I doubted what I think I saw.

The only description I can think to explain it would be a being, though it certainly did not appear to be a man, with a device around it that enabled it to hover silently in an upright position. This device was attached at the waist with some platform to stand on but it didn`t make sense to me. It was not anything that I recognized.

I served honorably in the Army and was required to master aircraft recognition as part of my air defense training. I had no idea what it was except that it was a being of some sort. No eyes in the globe but `it` was watching me! I felt as though I was being watched or monitored. I truly felt threatened.

I am a family man and have several children that I am very protective of. When I could no longer see it, I could smell a foul odor that was noticeably worse than the dirty diapers in the trash I was carrying. I felt as though something was very wrong but couldn`t remember much of the details of it though I had frequent night terrors and horrible nightmares since. I acknowledge that I have had a traumatic past and had been taking medication regularly prior to, during and after this event. But I know I did see something, even if I mis-identified it, something was there. It disturbed me so much that I missed Christmas with my family in 2007 and had recurrent panic attacks. I began to do destructive things, totally out of character for me.

I remained quiet about this event up until my wife told me something strange scared her very bad, right about the same time that I had my incident. We do not go in depth about our experience to each other, though we are very close. I find myself unable to describe this event clearly as it seems `backwards` or scrambled when I try to explain it. I did lose track of an hour or so and my neck and my upper back muscles were locked in spasm, as if I had just got into a fight and stayed that way for hours, although I think it was all due to the adrenaline, my memory is blurry of the incident and it takes me awhile to piece it together.

I work in retail loss prevention, and have to watch people closely all day. I notice little things and non-verbal behavior. Sometimes when I have to apprehend someone for stealing, it entails a chase and or altercation.

I do not remember any aircraft at that point but remember the house vibrating later that night from helicopters flying overhead. We lived near an ammunitions plant and an Air Force base. We moved away from Blue Springs in 2008.

Moving lights in northern sky over Missouri, [6] visible with night vision scope [2] with naked eye.

NUFORC Today, November 16, 2007, at approximately 6:40pm c.s.t, while relaxing in my hottub on the back deck, I noticed two lights, one very bright to the naked eye and another one of less intensity. The brighter one was crossing the sky from south to slightly northeast, while the lesser light moved on a southeast to northwest heading on what appeared to be an intercept course. I watched them move until they were both obscured by the lattice barrier on my deck. This is only part of the events that followed.

Since I have a quality IR monocular for night vision, I decided to obtained it from within my house and quickly reentered my hottub. The events that follow occurred between 6:45 and 7:15. pm, c.s.t.

While scanning the visible night sky, I having previously observed two lights moving across the night sky from south to north with the naked eye, observed not two [2], but eight [8] moving lights in the night sky, but not all at once.

About 6:45, I observed my first light using the night vision scope. It was headed from north to southeast. I can observe the sky from about 35 degrees above the northern horizon to about 90 degrees overhead. The lighted object was moving at a good pace to the southeast observable for about 15 to 20 seconds with my scope.

Once out of my viewable area, I continued to scan the area of the sky I could observe for any additional moving lights. Again I was surprised to see two [2] medium intensity lights like a flashlight beam from several blocks away, moving to the north northeast in a right echelon formation at a pace much slower the that of the single light I had observed some minutes prior. I was able to track them for a much longer period possible 2 minutes duration. Their physical separation remained constant during my observance of their track across the sky. Losing sight of them due to obstructions, I continued to scan the night sky for additional objects.

Over the next 15 to 20 minutes, I observed four [4] additional lighted objects one [1] moving from the north to south in my viewable area and the other three [3] were observed moving from southwest to north northeast. All of the moving lights observed during this time had light intensities as noted above.

The altitudes of all these observed lights were estimated to be out of our atmosphere, but well below the stationary star formations observed as they passed by. I’ve never seen so many observable moving lights in all my years of star gazing in just one segment of time today, Friday the 16th of November. If I have a dependable star chart, I could approximate their track across the night sky due to my very definable and observable viewing parameters.

These lighted objects, don’t appear to be any military craft and possibly could be various satellites in orbit, but that scenario is highly unlikely, too many in such a short period of time.

Has anyone else observed these moving lights during this time period? Time will tell I guess.

FOLLOW UP - Looking at a distance past the upcoming stoplight, I saw a round object in the sky.

FOLLOW UP INTERVIEW - Missouri UFO Sighting Investigation - Marge Padgitt and Bill Hamilton.

On November 1, 2007 Mr. John (name on file) reported sighting a UFO over Blue Springs, Missouri on the Missouri Investigations Group website. His sighting occurred that day at 8:37 am and lasted approximately 4 to 5 seconds. His sighting took place while he was driving southbound on Adams Dairy Parkway just before crossing the bridge which leads to Duncan Road. He had turned onto the Parkway at Jellison Road from his home on Pink Hill Road in Independence.

Marge and I were contacted to investigate the sighting as we lived close to the witness. We arranged to interview the witness on Sunday, November 18, 2007 at 1:00 pm. I arrived first at the witness’s house and met him, his wife, and younger daughter who were watching a football game on television. John led me to the kitchen to talk. Before beginning the interview I waited for Marge to arrive which she did within minutes.

We proceeded to ask questions of John concerning his sighting while his wife and daughter listened in. John reported that the object he saw caught his eye because of a metallic-like reflection from the west-facing side of the object. He thought this was odd as the sun was in the east and the sky was clear and blue. He later described the object as looking like a derby hat with a flat bottom topped with a dome. The object did not move, wobble or oscillate, but remained stock still in its position which John estimated to be at about 30 degrees elevation in the southern sky. The sighting was of short duration so I asked how it finally moved out of view. John said that it simply disappeared. One moment there was an object and the next moment it was gone without any apparent movement.

Marge asked whether he had a previous sighting of a UFO and John reported that he had only one near Colby, Kansas 17 years prior. She asked if he had experienced any changes in himself after either sighting, but he said he did not notice any except for difficulty sleeping through the night since this last sighting.

We then asked to go to the location of the sighting so we could see the features of the area. We parked on a side road just before the bridge crossing and all of us (John, his wife, his daughter, Marge, and myself) stood on the corner while John pointed to the location in the southern sky where he had seen the object. He pointed out the series of lamp posts on the left side of the bridge and said he had gauged the object to be about the apparent size of these lamps but a distance beyond the 4th lamppost so that his impression was that the object was large. We snapped a photo of the sighting area and proceeded to wrap up the investigation at this point.

Though John asked us what the object was, I could not give him an answer nor tell him why he was seeing a reflection from the object on a side away from the sun.

Driving southbound on Jellison Rd, just north of Duncan. Sky was very clear, no clouds of any kind. Looking at a distance past the upcoming stoplight, I saw a round object in the sky. The strange thing about it was the bright reflection off the object was on the west side of the object, away from the sun. Watched for aobut 4-5 seconds and then gone. Pulled over to look around to see anything else, but nothing could be seen. Sky was very clear, thought maybe a gas bubble or something, but the reflection(?) was on the west side. No planes or anything in the sky.

Witness did not contact police or other UFO organization.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Two lighted objects of varying intensity intersect @ same location in space within 20 seconds of each other.

Clear night observing stars overhead while standing in the backyard of my residence when a light, moving north was noticed. It had a luminicent value I would estimate of that of planet venus. As I watched it traveling north and as it approached a dark area of space (no stars readily visible without aid), the object reduced its luminicent value very rapidly as though as only seen here on earth, that someone turns off a household lightbulb and as you watch it, it fades until no light emminates from it. The first object did not initiate any further display of light. Continuing my scan of that area for another 15 or 20 seconds, I noticed another light approaching from the southeast, somewhat less in brightness than the first observance, but bright enough to be able to follow it with the naked eye.

As the second lighted object approached the nearly identical position of the first lighted object, where it had faded and then dissappeared from sight, the second object abruptly disappeared. No fading light like the first object, just instant darkness.

The observance of these two separate objects lasted for less than 1 minute.

As I observed the first light moving to the north, and fading as it did, my initial thought was that it was a satellite or similar object of man made origin. That was my thought until I observed the second lighted object. When both objects terminated their visible light at what I estimated was nearly the identical place in space, my estimation of what they could be now was unquestionably changed.

Were these extraterrestial in origin, or was one terrestial and the other extraterrestial? Unknown at this time! A scan of some star charts will help identify the location in space where these two lighted objects intersected. That will be my next step and further reporting once clearly identified.

I'm not sure if maybe the NASA ISS was orbiting at this time of the evening and that was the initial sighting. Don't have that information at this time.

Amber-ish burning light shapeshifting into an array of lights moving very in slow motion but fast at the same time.....can't explain it

At about 11:19 PM, my girlfriend and I were heading back from dinner at a friend's house moving South on Highway 7.

About a 1/4 mile North of Argo road, I stopped in the middle of a conversation because something amberish color caught my eye about right at my 10'o clock or Southeast from us. We started to really observe what the hell it was because we thought at first that maybe it was just a tower. The light seemed to be about the same size one of those tower lights look like....height and everything, but it was flickering like it was burning. It wasn't a red light like the towers have. I mean it was orange like fire.

Then we realized that it wasn't a tower when we got passed the hills and trees and seen that it was clearly up in the sky a cosiderable height. It wasn't a huge thing in the sky at all. We keep heading South coming up to Pink Hill Road, then all of a sudden it got smaller and smaller. This was very strange because it got so small it just looked like one of those tiny, tiny white-ish, blue-ish stars in the sky...just a speck.

Then it started to move West accross Blue Springs very slowly and as we got closer to I-70 we could see flashing red and white lights, just like our airplanes and helIcoptors have.

At this point we were really confused because we thought we just saw a plane catch on fire or something, then it goes out and it's flying like normal. As we stop at the stop light at I-70. The flashing lights were flashing one at a time next to each other in a linear motion but around the object. And it had a larger light underneath.

It seemed like the lights were moving in an oval shape, but as we tried to follow it, it completely did things we have never seen before. It looked like it completely shifted shape because of the way the lights were positioned before it started moving slowly away from us, but really far at the same time. It's kind of hard to explain without speaking with someone directly.

After we were following it West it turned North, but in a matter of about 15 seconds it kept getting smaller and smaller, then it disappeared over the horizen. The whole weird thing about is that it looked like it wasn't hardly moving and yet it was coasting along silently and then disappeared.

It seriously felt like when we started talking about what we were seeing and following it, it was like it knew and changed from a fireball and shapeshifted to a somewhat shoddy airplane look a like and then slowly drifted away into the horizen, but like I said over a 15 second period. It had to been moving really fast.

We also thought that maybe it was something that came back into the atmosphere at a great rate of speed and then proceeded to fly over our airspace, hence the fire at first cutting throught the atmosphere. I don't know, it is really strange.

I have never seen anything like this before and my girlfriend and I hope that we can talk to someone who may have watched the whole thing like we did. I even called my buddy who was at dinner with me to check the sky and see if he could see what I was seeing, but he was already heading South on Lee's Summit Rd and it was too far North by then. I checked my cell phone to see what time I called him and it was at 11:26PM.

For the most part we spent about 5 and half minutes driving from Argo Road to Winsteads parking lot trying to figure out what the hell it was, then spending another minute and half or so trying to follow it. It was moving so strangly like it was on one constant linear path of energy or something and it was moving so freely, I really can't explain it. It looked like slow motion, but it moved away from us fairly quickly obviously because it was gone within about 15 seconds after we tried to follow it.

We got to Woods Chapel Rd heading West on South Outer Rd so we could head North to follow it but it was out of sight after we passed the Saturn dealership and that's when I called my buddy.

Did anyone else see this?????????? Has anyone seen anything similiar before in another experience? I know for a fact I'm not crazy and neither is my girlfriend and we are simply dumbfounded.

My whole perception just completely changed. Either our government has some really cool things we don't know about or we have something going on up there that we either know about and don't want to tell the public or they simply don't know about it at all....and that bugs the hell out of me.

((ADDENDA FROM WITNESS))

Dear Mr. Davenport,

Thank you for responding to my report and please, call me ((name deleted) . I will do what you say and call my local authorities and media agencies to see if I can locate some more witnesses. We couldn't have been the only ones. I can see where if someone glanced at it, they probably just thought it was an airplane after it shape-shifted and thought nothing of it, but someone else just had to see the start of it.

I have always been a believer, but have never experienced anything like this and it has truly left me annoyed by not knowing what it was. I am a very sincere and credible person with people who know me and this is one of those things that we haven't told no one else yet because they will probably think we are joking around with them. They would think it's one of those "true lies", where a story is so unbelievably true that it has to be a lie.

We want to try and contact other people in Blue Springs first who saw it before we really go in depth talking about it. I felt comfortable explaining everything to you of course since your website seems to be the prominent site that appears in search engines for reporting this kind of thing. If you or anybody that contacts you about it want to call me, that's absolutely fine with me. I will definitely keep you informed of my progress.

Sincerely, ((name deleted))

((END ADDENDUM))

I just wanted to know when my post will be available for others to see or if I could get a copy of it so if I do find other people who saw something, I can use it as a point of reference. I'll just send them to the link or give them a copy and I'll tell them it came directly from you and I'll have them contact you too.

Thanks, ((name deleted))

((END #2))

Thanks Peter. (((non-essential sentence deleted)) So far, the police stations have not had any reports and I'm waiting on responses from the Television stations. I have very good friends who are in Radio here in Kansas City and I'm awaiting to hear if they got any funny calls last night at their stations.

Thanks, ((name deleted))

Blacked out craft (2) headed south crossing in controlled airspace in Blue Springs area.

On this night I have been enjoying the crisp, clear star lit night in my backyard hottub, relaxing aftera long workday. I had been observing the starry night for about 20 minutes prior to the occurrence. The air termperature was about 25 degrees with a moderate wind from out of the northwest at about 10 to 15 kts. I had been observing several of the star formations in the northern sky when a movement in the sky caught my attention. I had been observing several commercial airline departures from the Kansas City International Airport, KCI, located about 45 nautical miles northwest of my location prior to the occurrence.

When my attention was drawn to the subject craft, I thought that it was the only one. I was surprized to see another one following the first in a left echelon flight formation about 5 seconds later. Both craft were blacked out, ie, no visible lighting as required by FAA flight regulations. Ambient light from the surface delineated the crafts surface being that of a flat black and distinguishable from that of the night sky. The structure was solid as it blocked out the stars as they passed just west of my location. A calculated lat/long was made, being @lat 39deg,00'-17", long:94deg,17'-02". I thought to myself, a veteran pilot with over 10,000 flight hours in numerous aircraft and helicopters, what the heck are those carft flying without any markings (lights) in controlled airspace. Then it occurred to me that maybe these were stealth bombers on maneuvers and the Federal Aviation Admin (FAA) would know about it. It should be noted that even the military are required to have permission to cross active airspace utilizing discrete transponder codes as to avoid other air traffic operating in the controlled space.

The two craft were observed to be flying on a north to south heading, at an altitude of below 10,000 feet agl and at a speed of between 200 and 250 knots. This speed I estimated based upon how long my observation was for the distance traveled. As a veteran pilot, and as a former aircraft accident investigator, I was concerned with the safety of other aircraft in the area, as these two craft could not be seen by commercial or other air traffic operating in the same area. I observed a commercial jet pass through at the same estimated altitude less than a minute behind the two craft, on a southeast heading of about 120 degrees. I estimated the two craft to be about 3 times the size of the commercial airliner with a shape of a horseshoe front fuselage, rounded underneath and with a smooth underside. An area of distortion just aft of this viewable side was present, precluding me from viewing the complete structure of the craft.

As a veteran pilot, I did not jump to any conclusions as to what the craft were, but was more concerned that they were operating in controlled airspace and I wanted to know more about their mission. On Tuesday AM, I contacted a friend of mine wht the FAA ARTCC facility in Olathe, KS to ascertain if he could help me identify who or what these craft were and if they had any radar signatures or transponder data. An FAA approach control facility supervisor responded to my call on Wednesday AM and I relayed my observations. He indicated that he would attempt to reconstruct the occurrence based upon my observations and let me know if they could identify the subject craft. To this date, I've had no response from the FAA. Maybe a FOIA request is necessary to ascertain the nature of this event.

One further note, during the observation of the two craft, I did not hear any noise eminating from them, but them moved silently on their flight. On the other hand, the commercial jet aircraft I observed crossing their track behind them made it's distinctive noise signature from the engines as I heard it approaching from the northwest and as it flew over my location.

Two unidentified objects flying in left echelon formation over Kansas City, Missouri

On this night, I had been enjoying the crisp, clear star lit night in my backyard hot tub relaxing after a long workday. I had been observing the starry night for about 20 minutes prior to the occurrence. The air temperature was about 25 degrees with a moderate wind from out of the norwest, approximately 10 to 15 kts. I had been observing several of the star formations during this time frame in the northern sky when a movement in the sky caught my attention. I had observed several commercial airline departures from Kansas City Intl Airport, located about 45 miles northwest of my locations prior to this occurrence.

When my attention was drawn to the subject craft, I thought that it was the only one. I was surprised to see another one following the first craft in a left echelon formation about 8 seconds later. Both of the craft were completely blacked out, that is running without standard FAA lighting required on all aircraft flown with regulated airspace of the contiguous United States, at an approximated altitude of below 10,000 feet. The observed craft were of a flat black surface color, with a solid structure(as they blocked out the stars) as they passed just to the west of my location. I thought to myself, (a veteran pilot with over 10,000 flight hours, in commercial multi-engine fixed wing and rotor wing aircraft with instrument ratings). What the heck are those craft flying with any markings or light designations in regulated airspace! Then it occurred to me that maybe these were stealth bombers on maneuvers and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would know about it. The military is even required to have permission to cross active airspace utilizing a discrete transponder code as to avoid other aircraft operating in the area.

The two craft that I observed came from the north at an altitude I estimated as being below 10,000 feet above ground level and a speed of that required for jet aircraft operating at an altutude of below 10,000 ft agl. Somewhere between 200 and 250 kts. This I estimated based upon how long I observed them for the distance traveled, having an intimate knowledge of the area from having flown in it for many years. As the two craft passed from my view of them and within about one minute of their passing, I observed a commercial jet aircraft displaying the standard FAA required lighting, having departed the Kansas City Intl airport coming from the northwest, climbing on a southeasterly heading. The commercial jet passed through the track of the two craft at approximately the same altitude I had observed them flying, on their nearly due south track. The two craft were approximately 3 times the size of the commercial airliner with a slight V or rounded front fuselage and a flat bottom solid structure.

As a veteran pilot, I did not jump to any conclusions as to what the craft were, but was more concerned that they were operating in controlled airspace and I wanted to know more about their mission. I called a friend of mine on Tuesday who works with the FAA ARTCC facility located in Olathe, Kansas to ascertain if he could help me identify who or what these craft were and if they had any radar signature or transponder data readouts. The FAA approach control facility supervisor responded to my call on wednesday AM and I relayed my observations to him. He indicated that he would reconstgruct the occurrence based upon my observations and let me know if they can identify the subject craft. He also indicated that I should contact the National UFO reporting center and provide them with my observations.

My credentials include military service with the US Coast Guard from 1967 to 1973 as a communications specialist E-5. US government service with the Natl Trans Safety Board (NTSB) as a senior Air Safety Investigator from 1983 to 1990. As a commercial pilot from 1972 to present, an expert witness, aviation safety consultant from 1990 to 1996 and as a corporate security specialist from 1997 to present.

One further note that I failed to mention is that the two craft during the track to the south made no noise, but moved silently on their flight. The commercial jet aircraft was making it's usual noise from it's jet engines as I heard it approaching from the northwest with the time frame I observed it.

If you have any questions, please email me at ((e-address deleted)) and I will respond when time permits.

I will mail a pencil rendering of my observation to you in order for you to have a clearer picture of what I observed.

Thankyou ((name deleted)) Security Specialist

White, Red, and Green lights move in unbelievable formations in the sky.

My girlfriend and I observed a bright flashing light in the sky. The colors changed from white to red to green in that sequence. The object hovered in one spot for approximatly 30 seconds and then began to move in random directions. While moving, the object would change it's rate of speed constantly and then stop suddenly. It seemed to be higher than any helicopter could fly and with the random, sharp movements in made.....I don't believe this could be an airplain either. It also moved in a small circular motion followed by a slighty larger circle. When I got to my house I continued to watch it and found one other object that appeared to have the same light pattern on it. The second light was small. It seemed to move in the same formations as the original almost as if the two where comunicating. I was too tired to continue to watch, so my observation stopped at approximatly 6:30 am January 1, 2003. I hadn't had anything to drink and I was on no type of medication or taking drugs. THIS WAS REAL

A small bright light traveling very fast almost horizontaly for a few seconds traveling east to west.

I was driving home after work (about 11:30 or so) on I-70 east bound from Kansas City. Looking out of the upper left of the windshield I noticed a very bright, white light streaking west to east. It was almost horizontal through the sky and moved very fast. At first I thought it was an airplane from the light and the path. But it traveled very fast and almost at the end of its visibility the light dimmed quickly then brightened again and traveled a little farther then disappeared. I would have been convinced it was a meteorite except that it had a very flat path (almost horizontal). It was visibile only a few seconds and could have been some natural object, but the one I have ever seen like that.

Black box standing still about 100 feet above the trees with 4 large antennas (possibly)

I was driving west at 2:46 p.m. About 100 feet above the trees maybe a mile away was an object in the sky standing still. When I first saw it I was thinking someone's roof blew off their house but it wasn't windy and the object was perfectly still. I was coming to a stop sign so I was barely moving in the car. I stopped and just watched it for about 20 seconds. The object looked like a rectangular box standing upright which was black. Out of each corner it looked like a giant post or antenna sticking out diagnally maybe about 10 feet long. Those were harder to make out. So after being stopped in the car watching it, not even moving, it spun 90 degrees and got thin. The size would be about 30 foot tall, 20 foot wide and 8 foot thick. If you held a dice in your fingers at arm length then that would possibly be the size of it. A car was coming up behind me so I turned north and looked back and it was gone. No sound or lights coming from object.

Greenish fireball in the northern sky falling toward the horizon.

After returning home from my college night class I was still in my car in the driveway facing north and I observed a greenish fireball. It appeared to be the size of a half dollar in your outstretched hand. There were no clouds and I could see stars clearly and the lights of an airplane. The object appeared to be circular but it was as if I was observing it through thick clouds which made the object look fuzzy. I did not observe a tail like a comet's tail but a streak of light that appeared to be the same green color.

When I felt the bed sheets grazing my back, I knew I was the one moving and not the bed.

I had an unusual experience when I was 15 in the fall of 1981. I had never had an experience like it before, nor since, and I am now 37. Right after it happened, I told two friends and my mom. They did not believe me though I had never had a reputation for lying or even having been a daydreamer. In 1981, I was popular, had good grades, was a cheerleader, and did not do drugs or smoke. I had nothing to gain by telling a false story. My friends and mom thought I had a "dream," though I kept insisting I had not. I had no clue as to what the experience was about, but as the years went by, and I heard more and more about people’s experiences with UFOs, I came to wonder if it was of the same nature. I have always been skeptical of UFO stories, but there are so many similarities to my experience. This is what happened (exactly), as I remember it like it happened yesterday. It was right after 10:00 p.m. on a school night. I had just hung up from talking on the phone. I wasn’t sleepy yet, so I dimmed my light and turned over on my left side with my head propped up on my pillow. I closed my eyes to relax when I distinctly heard a scurrying sound coming from the back of my closet. Since we lived at the end of a cul-de-sac near the woods (only one other house around), it wasn’t unusual to have squirrels on the roof. I thought maybe one of them had gotten down in the wall. I recall giggling to myself thinking how appalled my mother would be when she found out there was a squirrel in her wall. It was such a nonthreatening sound, I didn’t bother to open my eyes. Right after the scurrying stopped, I heard crinkling paper (but it was distant). Again, I thought, what are those rodents up to now? Then the crinkling stopped, and in its place I heard a faint murmuring of voices (like in a crowded room). I thought about getting up and looking out my window, as teens like to come down into our circle to hang out. Maybe someone was playing their radio. As I debated on whether I should get up or not, a l! oud clea r voice suddenly spoke near my right ear (the one not on the pillow). It said something I didn’t quite catch, but the last words were "the gun." When something startles you, your natural reaction is to fly up, and that’s exactly what I thought I was doing, when I had what I call a "time gap." In the split second I was turning to see what had spoken, I found myself flat on my back vertical with my bed with my right arm extended upward. It was pitch black (though my light had been left on), and I strained to see the tips of the fingers on my extended arm. I was paralyzed, but not in pain. My whole body had an electrical current running through it (like when your leg goes to sleep). I was stunned because I had no recollection of coming into that position. I thought, how did I get like this? Then something else began to happen. Up to this point, I thought I was lying on the bed. I didn’t realize I was actually levitating over the bed until my body, in a perfectly straight form (with arm raised), began slowly moving counterclockwise. When I felt the bed sheets grazing my back, I knew I was the one moving and not the bed. In a 180 degree position (cross with bed), my body would be longer than the width of the bed, so my head and feet would stick out in the air. As my head cleared the bed, I literally felt my hair FALL off the edge!! That was when ALL doubt left me as to the reality of what was happening. This was NOT a dream! Reaching the 180 degree mark with the bed, I stopped, then began moving back the same direction I had come. When I was vertical with the bed again, my whole body dropped (including my arm) onto the bed. I was released from my paralysis, though not from the electrical current. In a panic, I reached for the phone on my right, but it had no dial tone, just a loud buzzing sound. I threw it on the floor. I then leaped out of my bed to the left side and landed upright on my feet. I was going to run out of my room to my mom’s across the hall. I took one step and looked! up all at the same time. I stopped in dead fear because instead of my bedroom door being there, there was a very black hole (tunnel like) in front of me. It was already pitch black, but this hole was blacker than black. I was too scared to go forward, so I decided to yell instead. When I opened my mouth to yell
"“mom," my voice was electric and it came out like I was holding a vibrator to my throat. The sound scared me so bad, I threw my hand over my mouth in utter shock. At that very moment, I had another "time gap." In a split second, I was back on my bed, turned to the left, head on the pillow, light dimmed, just as I was before the whole event happened. I spun around and looked at my whole room. My phone was back in the cradle, and only 10 minutes had passed on the clock, though I felt like it had been at least an hour. If you saw or know anything unusual that happened in my area during the time mentioned, please let me know. This has bothered me for years. Thanks, ((name deleted))
