Like clock work

I am a police officer and began observing these lights on Thanksgiving night 2024 st around 2:30 am. I have observed them nightly and have many videos and photos of the lights. These lights usually move west to east and sometimes fly in a circular pattern. I am reporting now because I changed agencies to a dept that is 32 miles from where I first observed the lights. Tonight, I once again observed them in the same place. I confirmed what I was seeing with an officer at my old dept who was seeing them as i was, 32 miles away.

Location: Augusta, MO, USA
Location details: Seen from my house South of Washington, MO and the lights I saw were to the East near Labadie, MO

Shape: Orb

Direction from Viewer: Roughly 60 degrees NE
Angle of Elevation: 30
Closest Distance: Roughly 10 miles
Estimated Speed: There was no movement
Explanation: Chinese Lantern - Probable
Characteristics: Lights on object

1 orb of light appeared and remained stationary while 2 others appeared within minutes of each other until 3 total orbs were visible

I was walking my dogs in my neighborhood just South of Washington, MO when I noticed a singular, yellow glowing orb near the Labadie, MO power plant at roughly 1,000 feet of elevation that was not blinking or flashing. By the time I got into my driveway, which is at a higher elevation than when I initially saw the first orb, I noticed a second orb had appeared. I then checked my flight radar thinking they were planes/helicopters, but there was nothing on the radar. I thought it could be military aircraft, as we tend to have Blackhawks fly in formation over our house without their transponders on. By the time I made it out to my back deck, a third had appeared, now forming a triangular shape. I watched for roughly 10 minutes while these orbs maintained elevation and did not move in any direction. After watching them, 1 of the 3 orbs slowly faded and disappeared over the course of about 10 seconds. Over the next 2 minutes, the other 2 did the exact same. They did not “fly away,” they simply “dissolved.”

I walked outside and saw this very bright light. It was not the moon. It seemed rectangular or spherical. It didn't move either. There were a few clouds, but it didn't appear to be behind one. It gradually got dimmer until I could no longer see it. I live in a rural area with no ambient city lighting.

Outside with my dog and saw it

I'm not sure if my dog counts as a witness but she was there too. My bf and friend weren't with me in person but I showed them video and pictures. I was outside taking my dog out and looked at the sky and there they were. They were very slowly moving up and down but otherwise staying the same. It was bizarre. They were probably there before I got out and probably stayed there when I left .

Saw a light in the sky that appeared and disappeared.

My husband and I were heading home from his parents house with our two kids in the car. We were having a serious discussion and this light in the sky, like an orb or what I thought was a large star or planet just completely disappeared. I was shocked and asked if he saw it too. Honestly I was expecting him to be super dismissive because he’s always looking for rational explanations on things. He said he saw it and had no idea what it could’ve been. While we were discussing it on the way home we even saw a plane in the sky and it was definitely not a plane what we saw.

Lights moving in orderly fashion

Going on 2 months straight seeing odd lights as I look to the east just above a tree line in my yard. Since February the lights began appearing between 2:30 and 3 AM and lasting until around 5:00 AM to 5:30 AM the amount of lights vary , but the light themselves never change. They appear to come put of nowhere. Some fade out while others stay lit up as they drop below the tree line or move left to right. On 3-28-25 I observed the lights again but this time I saw something mesmerizing and concerning. One light appeared at approximately 30k feet up, the light was suddenly just there and it began dropping slowly but quickly downward and would pause for a second and continue dropping as it reached the tree line another would suddenly appear in the same exact spot the previous light appeared. The next light would follow the same path as the previous light below the tree line and then another and another. None ever came back up. I have a 30 min video of this so many. Then after 25 wins of doing this it just stopped. I had to reduce the video size to upload it here but still have the full 30 min video. When viewing the video turn your phone side ways and watch them drop down from the upper left of the screen and when they get near the bottom of the screen and disappear that's because they dropped below the tree line. I don't know what's going on but certainly concerned at this point..

I noticed a blinking light due north about 45-50 miles away. It stayed in one spot and looked like it had a vertical light array

I was looking up and watching Starlink fly by, told my son in law what Starlink was and then saw what had to be an alien ship. It was multiple layers of white and red lights. And they were flashing. But it didnt move. It was like a cruise ship and the lights they have at night up the front of the boat, usually where a mast is. This looked just like it.

Was driving in my car right past it no more then 100 ft above my car completely stationary with absolutely no movement

Was driving in my car on 210 highway east bound when I noticed a strange black shape almost like a black trash back floating in the air about a mile down the road. As I drove closer to it still heading north I came up almost right underneath it and it had not moved a single inch completely stationary. That’s when I realized it was something completely unusual as it had almost a black carbon fiber appearance with hexagon kinda pattern on it but in a completely unnatural oval circle shape. This object had no straight edges, rivets or bolts and no type of propulsion or propellers. Then as I passed it still heading north on 210 about a mile down is when I saw two black hawk helicopters completely armed flying directly towards the object. As I looked in my review nitro it appeared to move to the southwest. I did a u turn further down the road but when I came back it was gone and the helicopters were flying southwest towards the Missouri River.

Hundreds of drone like things flying in sky

I was on washu campus just sitting with my friends and something caught my eye in the sky. At first I was like why are there seagulls in MO bc it looked white and a lot of them. But It did not look like a bird pattern. Best way I could explain it is a DNA shape and it was rotating in circles. It would disappear and become visible again every few seconds. Which I get is optical illusion, the sunlight hitting a specific part of them while the spin. U can even see a bird fly by it twice to see size comparison. It moved from South west to north East of the sky then disappeared completely. There was not a single cloud.

Moving lights

So the lights are back again. 2 nights in a row now. I had almost convinced myself that I have super amazing eye sight and what I was seeing must have somehow been sattelites. The only problem with that is the movement is not consistent with a sattelite and it was cloudy there were not even any stars visible and these lights were below the clouds. From what I understand now, sattelites move in one direction without abruptly changing course. What I saw frequently changed course, but it wasn't a zip zoom kind of movement. Say one would move upward above my treeline but the suddenly shift to the left and so on. Then another would suddenly appear coming down then shift to the right, drop a little more and again shit to the right before dropping below the treeline and out of sight. I again saw many single bright white flashes, one this time appeared directly in front of a passing airplane. Then around 5:30 is am a large helicopter began circling Birch Tree.. I still hear it I the distance so I'm not sure whats going on.. What I'm seeing is not normal and again not something I've ever seen in all my life...

Single orb flying south to north, arc and split vertically into 5-6 separate orbs and then collapsed and zoomed off.

On Friday, February 28th, at 10:36 PM, my girlfriend and I witnessed a whitish-gray flying orb in the night sky. The object didn’t follow straight lines and moved in a dipping arc from left to right. As it approached north, it slowed down, split vertically into five or six distinct white orbs, and cascaded from left to right before collapsing back into one entity that zoomed west and out of sight.

Bright flash of stationary light high in the sky first saw with the naked eye before attempting video footage with phone.

My spouse and I were star watching from our roof when we noticed a bright flash of light high overhead. At first we assumed it was an airplane, but then realized it was not moving in any specific direction, but seemed to be stationary. After we both saw it multiple times and it continued to periodically flash without ceasing, I stuck my head in the window and asked my son if I could use his phone to video. My spouse and I had left both our phones downstairs. I started videoing, but it was difficult at first because I couldn't see nearly as well through the phone screen as I could see with my naked eye. I was able to pick up the bright star in the middle of the screen and used it as my reference of where to try and focus because the bright flash was happening a little below it. My spouse and I were enjoying ourselves and laughing and joking during the video because, well... one must simply make the most out of life and laugh as much as possible, but I assure you this is not a joke and one of the stranger things I have saw in the night sky and I have spent hundreds of hours staring up at the sky. If the video is viewed in a very dark setting, the entire sky seems to be blinking and twinkling, but that was not seen with the naked eye. Only the bright flash of light high in the sky and sometimes lighter flashes of light around the same area was seen with the naked eye. Oddly enough, earlier today at dusk when the sky wasn't very dark yet and stars were just barely starting to become visible, my husband was looking out our back sliding glass window and suddenly exclaimed "A shooting star!" I was close by and looked quickly and then opened the door and stepped outside on the back deck and immediately saw a very bright light in the sky at about a 55 degree angle from the eastern horizon. Then, I realized it was moving. Immediately as our eyes locked in on the object we both realized it wasn't orb shaped or flashing, but was staying the same level of brightness and was also elongated. It looked like a tiny LED light bar moving diagonally through the sky, not straight from end to end like any sort of aircraft I have ever saw. It then just slowly dimmed out as it moved away from us. In one single evening, I witnessed TWO of the strangest aerial events I have ever seen. There may be perfect, reasonable explanations for both sightings and if there are, I would really like to know them.

NUFORC Note:

First event likely a rotating satellite. 2nd event sounds like Starlink.

Strange Bright Lights Fading in and out

I was awakened around 4:38 the morning of February 27, 2025. A distant neighbor's coon dogs were barking in the woods on the east side of my split level home. I looked out the window and didn't see anything. So I got up and grabbed my flashlight and went out on my back patio shining the light into the woods. I didn't see anything and assumed it was just deer that had them all stirred up. As I went to come inside I turned the flashlight off and looked up and though (wow it's so clear and the stars are so beautiful right now) as I brought my gaze back down to just above the tree line I saw a bright white light just above the treeline but in the distance and it slowly went down below the treeline out of my view. I then saw 5 or 6 more. They were moving in opposite directions. Some were going left, others going right, some coming up above the treeline and back down again. Then more started showing up.

At night as long as I can remember many times I'll watch the stars and see a light moving. It will get really bright and then fade out.. Usually seen between 8 and 9 pm. The most I've ever seen at any given point at night was 1 or 2 and never more than one in close proximity of another and never many. I assume those are satellites but not sure..

What I saw this time though was unlike anything I've ever seen. Some would get super bright and disappear others would light up a little and fade out. I got super cold watching so long so I came in to get something warmer on. I went back out and they were all still there just moving about. As I watched out of my peripheral I say a bright flash in the wood line behind my house. So I turned to watch that side. And then I saw these random bright white flashes in all different areas in the woods behind my house. I continued watching it all until just after 5:30 AM and decided to come inside…

They were absolutely not satellites or airplanes. I watched again tonight but nothing. Oddly though there air traffic was insane I probably saw upwards of 40 airplanes in a very short period of time moving in different direction in our area. I can't explain what I saw, but when I saw all of those lights there were at least 3 airplains that flew above the area where they were and I'm assume an airplane pilot would have a better point of view surely somone else will report… These lights were between the Birch Tree MO and Winona MO area in the sky but not straight up they were low

While driving late at night near Cuba MO, I saw a very bright green object shaped like a triangle.

The craft was extremely bright green and did not display any other lights. There were no wing tip navigation lights such as red and green normally found on aircraft / drones. There was no red beacon light or other white lights. The craft was almost a neon glow. It was estimated to be 150 ft in altitude and the size was estimated to be around the size of multiple semi-truck and trailers. I was driving with music playing so I cannot say if it made any sound. I tried to use my phone at the moment I saw it however my phone would not function to call. I was only able to capture 3 seconds of video. I was aware of a B2 base near Knob Noster MO, however the craft I witnessed was not comparable to a B2 photo for reference.

I had flown into SGF from ORD which I do 1-2’s per month at the same time and same day. I had left the airport and was 5 minutes in when I noticed what I thought was a life flight helicopter due to the altitude and bright white lights on the belly. It was traveling NE as I was traveling south at a slow rate of speed (10-20 MPH) as it crossed in front of me it slowed to a near stop over a warehouse just north of the 1st Baptist Church of Brookline. When I got close I slowed and rolled my drivers side window down to get a better view and couldn’t process what I was looking at. I fly a drone often, travel often for work (4-8 flights a month) and have driven well over a million miles and never seen anything like this. I called my son and took the shoulder then made a u-turn in an attempt to get a video of it. As soon as I made the u-turn it sped up to approx. 50-60 MPH and continued to travel NE within a mile of the airport without gaining any altitude.

No propellers, no exhaust , no sound . The damn thing was nearly directly over my head when I first looked up and snapped the photo before I turned the phone on to video.

Explanation: Starlink - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

While driving over the bridge leaving IL and going into MO I saw what looked like fireworks at first.

As I started over the bridge driving into Mo, I saw what suddenly appeared in the sky like a small firework display. I enjoy fireworks so I kept my eye on it. As I left the bridge, I realized it was not fireworks but a straight dark upside-down triangle shaped shadow that was not fully clear in the center and top. As if a cloaking was being lifted or failing. About as big from my view as the distance between two light poles wide at the biggest part at the highest part and a sharp point at the bottom. Guessing that its height was at least equal to a five-story building. Along one side of it was a line of lights or bright windows (I am not sure which). As I drove out of Taylor MO, I tried watching it in my rearview mirror but due to safety, had to give up on it.

I did check a website I found that showed where the star satellites are and from what I found there were none in this area by far.

NUFORC Note:

The single line of "windows" does sound like a strlink train. Starlink tracking websites (such as Heavens-Above, FindStarlink, and N2YO) are generally accurate, but they rely on publicly available orbital data (TLEs—Two-Line Elements) provided by sources like NORAD. However, there are a reasons why you might see Starlink satellites even if they don’t appear on a tracker for your area.

Triangular completely still hovering then shapeshifting silver or black red orb disk triangle

While driving with my wife tonight, she pointed and said "Hey, there's one of your UFO's." I looked up and saw a triangular craft with changing lights on each of the tips of the 3 corners. It was completely still, hovering in the air as if it was just hanging by a rope. No sound no movement. As soon as I started recording it began to change shapes and rotated between oval and spherical. It also then started switching between metallic and a red/black color. I turned off my recording as we attempted to turn around and head towards it, but after we turned around it was suddenly approximately 5 miles away. In an instant. Unfortunately I didnt get to see it fly , just saw it far away suddenly and then I just couldn't see it anymore. The lights were gone, it was gone. Last seen near/above the shoal creek area in Joplin, mo.

It appeared out of nowhere in the sky in front of me. Stayed stationary for a bit before heading west toward mountain view

I was trying to think of a logical reason for what I was seeing so I didn't automatically take my phone out to take pictures. I finally pulled over, got out and took a picture after it flew over me. It didnt make a sound. It seemed to be about the size of a car. As it went over me, I could tell it was closer than I thought at first.

Red orb traveling in a Southerly direction over central Arnold Mo

I was sitting outside at approximately 9:15 pm and witnessed a bright red orb, a single steady red light at what I guess was 8,000 to 10,000 ft elevation. It slowed, stopped then blinked out. The red lighting was greater than that of airplane lights with no blinking. Its rate of travel was greater than that of airplane traffic and flying in the opposite direction of any traffic that I have ever witnessed. The duration of my sighting was roughly one minute from spotting it to its blinking out. There had been cloud cover off and on but at this moment the sky was very clear with bright starlight. Within less than 10 minutes of the sighting I heard a low flying helicopter not too different from the sound of military helicopters. What made that so odd for me was that I could not hear its approach nor its departure, just the low rotor thump for about 10 seconds.

A white orb traveled over the city of Joplin traveling west. The orb was being followed by what looked like a small plane/Drone.

I am a Police Officer for the city of Joplin and was sitting in my patrol vehicle looking at reports. I got out of my police vehicle to stretch my legs. As I got out I looked up and saw a bright light in the sky. I first thought it was a satellite or something but it was moving slow and making 90 degree turns. As I was looking up I then noticed what looked like a plane at first but then realized it was closer to the ground and it was a drone. The drone was pretty large and I could hear the engine.

The drone was following the orb but then the orb split into two other lights. The drone stopped and appeared to be watching the orb. Once this occurred both orb objects flew west at a high rate of speed. The Drone followed after them and they all disappeared as it got out of eye sight.

NUFORC Note:

We've been hearing more and more about drones interacting with orbs.

So I was watching it and then turned the recording on. I checked flight radar, my sky map showing stars, No position lights just white flashing lights. Nothing showed on radar, no helicopter sounds. Then it legit just vanished. Even drones like mine have position lights. The video shows it looks like it was flashing but in real time it just sort of faded out.

Driving Southbound on Hwy 63 towards Ashland just past the Columbia airport exit when I saw 5-6 round beams of bright light coming from the clouds in a straight line. Just as soon as I saw them then joined into what appeared a single beam and disappeared. It happened so fast I couldn’t get a video. After they had disappeared, approximately 1 min later a plane appeared in the same area and it was not a commercial flight or aircraft.

Probably logical explanation but I've never seen anything in my 60 years like them. Saw them going from east to west way up in sky. Had very short jet streams too short to be jets and they were too close together to be jets. Looked like jet streams were two for each. Shapes appeared like cigar but hard to tell when driving. It was still light out so no lights observed just streams moving rapidly.

Cloudy, drizzling sky during the evening, no wind or lighting, powerful and strong light beamed down onto us.

My friends and I were sitting in my car after a meal in a heavily populated area with plenty of buildings and businesses around. All of the sudden every street light began to flicker and go in a sequence, then suddenly after about 15 seconds of that, every light near us went out completely. The only lights were the moon shining, the traffic light, and my headlights. The restaurant where we ate was completely dark with 50+ customers inside still. It’s as though the world had stopped. Of the 3 of us that were in my car, previously chatting, I don’t think any of us breathed in this moment. After the lights had gone completely off, a big bright blue/green light shined from the sky, directly above my car, then it stopped.

I hopped out of the car to look around, as the lights began to turn back on, yet many streetlights began flickering again as I looked around outside the vehicle. I got back in and turned the radio up- it was completely static. Around 1 min after entering my car, a sound, as though a plane was taking off was heard, but this didn’t make sense due to the rainy cloudy weather, and also, it was nearly 8 in the evening and the only airport nearby is a private jet airport.

Keep in mind please, it was rainy but it wasn’t lightning nor was it thundering. Just a light drizzle in the dark of the night.

I drove down the road to where my friend works, the lights had just come on and she works about .5 miles from where this had happened to us. All her systems said they were working on management side yet none were turning on. I drove to where I work, right across the road from my friend, and my workplace said a light or two flickered but no outage.

Once returning to the parking lot of the restaurant we ate at, I saw some kitchen staff in the back who explained their power had gone off as well as some of their systems.

I believed before this encounter, but this sealed the deal. The world felt like it had stopped- seemed like we were in the midst of a Stranger Things episode.

Chevron or boomerang shaped UAP seen flying over St. Louis suburb, sighting corroborated by other reports recently.

I was walking my dog around our neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri one night, and facing west at the top of a small hill, I noticed a faint shape flying through the sky as soon as we stepped outside. It was some distance away, I'd say a few thousand feet. The sidewalk took me directly towards it but I would lose sight of it in the trees as we walked. By the time I got to the bottom of the hill, the chevron was now to the northeast and heading in that direction. I had a clearer line of sight to it at the bottom of the hill I watched it for as long as I could make it out until it disappeared into the horizon. From seeing it right as I exited my house to it disappearing was a matter of 3-5 minutes. I strongly believe that it was not a flock of geese, as those are very commonplace here in the winter and what I saw was much more substantial and at a greater altitude. I was struck by the way my attention turned to it immediately as I stepped out of my house, as if my brain picked it out and recognized that it was not something normal.

Recently, I came across multiple accounts of people seeing something very similar on the East Coast, but also right here in St. Louis in the last couple of days.

This sighting from 12/13/24 reported on Reddit is very similar, and there are two commenters who mention seeing it in St. Louis in the last few days.
https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1hdv3o7/my_friend_just_captured_this_over_nyc_121324/

"I saw this in st louis missouri at around 7:30 pm. Was chasing these drones around trying to get good pictures. Was looking straight up and saw this thing gliding through the clouds. I am so happy someone caught this."

"Me too! Just a bit west of St. Louis in near Eureka. I still don't know what to make of it to be honest, but something was definitely there."

"Well damn, I saw something like this too in South City (Tower Grove). Not sure what time but early/mid evening. Was letting in my dog and looked up. Very strange movement that I watched as long as I could. I was thinking it could be geese flying but who knows."

It is also very similar to NUFORC UFO Sighting 167175

Bright round white object is stationary then moves until a smaller orb absorbs into it causing the object to change red.

At 5:49pm facing the northeast sky I observed a bright stationary object. It was slightly bigger and brighter than other stars in the sky but I noticed it started moving shortly after I started watching it.

At first I thought it was star, then once it started moving and I realized it wasn’t flashing like an airplane I started to record. It was round and very bright. Larger than an airplane and if I had to take a guess its altitude was between 8-12,000 ft. It moved constantly from the northeast to the east/southeast. The color of the object was still white but growing and fading back and forth. Kind of like a candle light.

After recording for 31 seconds, I looked at my flight Rader app to verify it wasn’t an airplane because the object wasn’t flashing any lights and wasn’t at the right altitude either coming into our airport (object was flying away from our airport) or leaving from our airport (altitude would have been to high in proximity from airport if object just took off). The flight Rader app showed no flights to the direction I was looking above Springfield matching what I was seeing in the sky.

As I was watching the object I noticed a very small light white orb zigzag over to the object (still moving to the east/southeast). As the tiny orb zigzagged up to the white round object, the orb was absorbed into the larger white object. Immediately after the orb was absorbed, I started recording again and the white object was now flickering and changed to a deep red color. The object flickered out and just faded out, vanishing. The viability was clear with no clouds.

Estimated Speed: unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

Half circle of white lights moving due east then turning to the north.

We were outside in the hot tub when we looked up directly above us and saw a formation in the sky. My very first instinct was that it was a group of geese flying in a formation, but I instantly noticed that they were lights. They were in the shape of a parentheses and spaced out in regular intervals moving directly East. You could only see the lights but when you looked at them it looked like it they were part of a massive ship. As they were moving to the East they were going in and out of the clouds so some of the lights would disappear and then reappear. Within about a minute the lights went completely out of sight due to the cloud cover.

I continued to look for them and about 30 seconds later they reappeared but this time they were turning towards the north in a rather wide sweeping motion. As they made the turn the formation of the lights stayed in the same parentheses form but it seemed like they tightened up a bit. I don’t know if they tightened because I was looking at it from a different angle or if they had shifted directions. They continued to the north until I lost sight of them over the house.

The lights never changed colors and there were no red or green lights, only white. No noise was coming from them. I looked at the ATIS reading from Quincy Airport to get an idea where the cloud deck was but when I looked it said that they were showing clear skies. I would guess the clouds were somewhere between 3,000 to 7,000 feet above ground level. The width of the lights was very representative of that of a flock of geese flying in formation.

I've included two drawings I made immediately after seeing the object. The first was me trying to draw the formation with the one circled being the most accurrate. The second is what the formation looked like when it shifted to the north.

Angle of Elevation: 35
Closest Distance: 10-15,000 feet
Estimated Speed: Crossed the entire sky in about a minute.
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Massive, shadowy, triangular, object that crossed the entire expanse of sky without a sound, nav lights, or contrail.

I’ll start off by saying I don’t know what I saw, my mind is still trying to make sense of it. The moon hadn’t cleared the tree line to the East of my location, but it was up, possibly accounting for my ability to see it (the object) at all as it had zero lights displayed. Larger than a Super-tanker, 10-15,000 feet up, moving North to South just West of the address indicated on this form. There was no sound, no discernable glow from engines, no trail, just an eerie shadow floating at high velocity across the sky.

I was practically raised on boats, and as sailors do, spent a lot of time gazing upward. Later I became a navigator in the U.S. Navy, again, detail-oriented eyes mostly scanning the horizon on up. Excelling at celestial navigation and weather observation I am very familiar with just about everything that graces the sky, the average elevations they cruise at, and the speeds at which they travel. The relative time it took for this object to cross my field of vision is what prompted this report. I’ve seen a few unidentified flying objects over the decades, all with some kind of lighting, yet none left me feeling uneasy afterward. The figure wasn’t exactly clear, resembling something that was ineffectively removed from a photograph, leaving obvious dithering in its place.

I’ve watched all sorts of objects in the sky; satellites, the space station, celestial bodies, manta rays, whales, and once, a B52 bomber as it came over the horizon, out over the Pacific, right over the FFG I was on; so close it looked like it was going to hit the mast. I was raised in Southern California, visiting my grandparents in Death Valley and cheering the sonic booms produced by hot dog pilots and spotting experimental aircraft. My family frequently visited relatives at the China Lake facility and Edwards Air Force base, just to add to the variety of places I have been where flying things were paramount. Additionally, I am extremely interested in transportation of all types, especially technologically superior types constantly being rolled out, so I have a good idea what people are making out there.

What I saw this morning, I don’t know, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it…; so weird/out-of-place it looked fake. Nobody produces anything that massive.

I'm not looking for attention, and don't particularly need/want to be contacted. Out of national/global security concerns, I felt compelled.

V shaped stationary object. High in altitude. Had 4 white lights on each leg of the V. Took photo with my iPhone however due to the distance of the object and poor camera on iPhone, it made the 4 lights on each side of the V appear as one light. In photo below the only modification I made was to add a slight blue filter to accentuate the V. Of course you will need to zoom in. I really don’t believe in UFOs and have never reported reported one before. This thing was definitely unique.

Could have been weather balloons but don’t think so.

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.

Triangular aircraft was flying southbound. At first appeared to be a bird flying, but once directly overhead, the object was clearly a triangle. The triangle was darker than the cloudless, starry sky. It would've been easy to miss the aircraft of your glazed away, but once you fixed your eyes on the aircraft, you could see distinct circles. They weren't symmetrically spaced, but close to being so. The lights were so dim that if your eyes weren't following the object, you'd dismiss it as a bird. There were no noises emitted from the craft. The lights were sort of orange when seen directly above but extremely dim. They were as faint as the stars above. This aircraft was designed to be concealed in plain sight.

A very bright white round light , no craft of any kind , very clear view. It was ONLY a bright white light.

Sunday 09/15/2024 around 6:36 A.M. Going South down New Town Bld. in Saint Charles, MO, 63301. There was a very bright white light, and only the light in the northwest sky. There was no visual craft, just a very bright white round light. No plane, no helicopter, it did not move. I watched it for several minutes and it did not move at all. Again, there was no sign of any sort of craft, just a really bright white light.

There was no aircraft in the sky. The view was very clear

A triangular object with lights that hovered and spun

We were on a walk outside and noticed a fast moving object in the sky. It had lights and spun as it moved. It moved very quickly at times and stopped midair and hovered at times. We could see it from a distance and we thought it was an airplane. But then it moved very rapidly towards us. It made a sound similar to a drone. However it was very large.

My significant other and I had just finished utilizing the CE5 protocol around 10:45 PM (per the Aug 3rd global event organized by Dr Greer) and I spotted a light source similar to an airplane light in the sky approximately WSW at 10-15 degrees height. But unlike most airplane lights this source was NOT blinking and moving rather slowly, much like a helicopter. No red or green lights were apparent and light source was more yellow than most airplane lights. I called attention to this object to my lady because of its anomalous appearance and we watched it continue to come towards the Independence area in a line somewhat parallel to I70 as if it was going towards the stadium or Lee's Summit. We observed the object staying on a straight path for about 4 minutes, slightly dimming, and then blinking totally out. I checked out the sky to see if maybe there was cloud cover to the west of us, but other astronomical objects were visible at the same angle in the sky with the naked eye. My background in visual observations is from being an amateur astronomer since around 1970, running a college planetarium in college, watching SkyLab crossings in the 70's, and watching obvious satellite transits. I haven't ever seen anything prior to this I would describe as a UFO/UAP.

Multiple lights, orbs, unilliminated dark spheres, and orb formations. Saw 20-100 of them moving very fast. Also saw military jets.

I was with my twin brother, we had just purchased a new laser. He pointed around this was around 3:00am at signs and wanted to see how far it could go. It was my turn with the laser I couldn’t see the moon but all the stars and planets. I pointed the laser on the highest setting at the Little Dipper, two planets and other star formations. As soon as I closed my eyes I could feel a presence… multiple actually and I knew immediately something was looking for us. As my eyes were closed I started to see my self from third person I could see my twin brother standing near me and then I saw from what I only assume is the “beings” or UAP/UFOs point of view but it wasn’t like ours they could spot my energy and laser but not entirely. Up to this point I have never felt anything like this before or seen this with my eyes closed. Not five seconds later we both witnessed what looked at first like moving stars… moving erratically at first but then still it seems toward us. They got extremely close within 5-10 miles out of the sky. We saw what looked like orbs some illuminated, orange. Yellow. White and some blue. The ones that were orange and white moved fast in circles the ones white and blue seemed hesitant to come closer, the others felt like they were almost communicating with us through feelings and close eye thoughts, I would tell them to come closer and some would come close and then zip away extremely fast others seemed to be humorously coming to us in force that’s when I noticed two to three military Air Force Jets two looked like modern ones and one was in the shape of a triangle with three lights in a triangle and green and red lighting which I knew to be human origin. As soon as they came out they looked to be chasing the crafts, spheres and orb light formations away and moving extremely fast. The triangle military jet moved almost at the same speed as one orange orb and that’s when the saw spot lights in the sky and flashes of light by the military jets it looked like some kind of weapon they used to deter UAPs I had never seen anything like this. I have several pictures and videos and no star could ever mimic this movement or seem to respond to different words and commands. Just as they came it looked like they started to overwhelm the AF jets and we saw several large bright lights in the cloud lighting up the clouds and disappearing fast when we looked up we could see a mass formation of UFOS all synchronic. Just as that happened to saw what appeared to be a massive meteor zipping past the clouds and formations. This happened very fast and as we looked around we couldn’t believe what we were seeing cars were going past our neighborhood but nobody else was looking up! This was two nights and ever since I haven’t been able to get any sleep… I keep feeling them watching me at night and me and my brother have been arguing because he doesn’t want to talk about it or try to initiate it again with the laser X. I truly have a feeling that for contact to be made you must have an open mind and another person with you in the same frame of mind open and not conceiving any negative ideas of them or what they could be. It felt like that night was the perfect night everything lined up the moon wasn’t even outside and I feel like they could come back if my twin brother would actually put aside his ego because I think they were infuriated or possibly even annoyed by his wayside nonchalant doesn’t matter still have to work at fast food mind set. I have videos and so does he. I went through frame by frame and have some very interesting pictures I edited to have zoomed into and many look anything other than a typical star. Especially moving and zipping across the cosmos and sky. I have been feeling extremely alone and mentally damaged because I have no one to talk to about this and would hope someone who knows anything about this could speak with me…

It was assumed a strangely bright star or planet until zooming in.

Some family was outside on the deck towards dusk when an abnormally bright light prompted an adult to tell a kid to go get his telescope. They thought it would be a good learning experience as assumed it was the star Vega. After snapping a couple of pictures it shows something different. I guess it is possible it could show the circumstellar disc around the star with rudimentary equipment? It disappeared after about a half an hour in a clear sky, and seemed closer than any other celestial object. In one photograph it looks square but nothing else around in the shot is pixelated. Another one shows a disc with two swirls of light above and below it, like yin and yang.

It was found out shortly after that other neighboring small towns had also taken notice and experienced the same.

While sitting on our front porch, I spotted a chevron shape that looked silver with 2 red lights in the center. Very large .

The object made no sound, none, very large at possibly 5,000 ft elevation to my north east turning when I spotted it. It appeared to be silver with only two large red lights in the center of the rear of the craft. I watched it until it went over the horizon to the north east. You could tell it was gaining speed very rapidly. Funny after I lost sight of it I saw and heard 3 fighter air craft travel very fast in the same direction with afterburners glowing.

Two Lights in Lee's Summit, MO SW Sky, One Disappeared while other Remained for 45 min.

At approximately 8:20 pm tonight I noticed two lights in the SW evening sky. What brought my attention to this was that as I was driving home, I noticed a door to door salesman who was video taping something with his phone that was in the sky. This piqued my curiosity.

After I pulled into our driveway my husband went inside, and I stepped out of the car and looked above and I noticed two lights in the SW sky. While I was grabbing my smart phone from my purse, the one light more to the west or to the right of the other light in the sky had disappeared. I immediately went inside called my husband and told him, he grabbed his camera while I went to grab my binoculars. I ran back out to the front with my binoculars and looked right at the light, and it was round or oval shape, and it had a luminous appearance. Without my binoculars it almost appeared like a large star, however, it appeared closer than a star. I took several videos of this object. One of which I compared this object to the moon, which was in the East, and shortly thereafter while video taping this, a commercial jet flew between the moon and this light, and that airplane was flying SE to NW at about 8:40 pm. The light hovered there a good 30 or so minutes. The young man who was the door to door salesman had told me that he spoke to the neighbor who lives behind me, and that neighbor had also taken a look at this object . While speaking to my neighbor, he told me that the object appeared hollow in the middle. I believe it was because it had a mirror-like reflection. As the neighbor and I were speaking the door to door salesman pointed how the light had moved. I mentioned that I believe it hadn't moved but appeared to simply be hovering and stationary but that the earth was simply rotating and this is why the light object appeared to the West by 9 pm. The door to door salesman claimed that he did see it move over from one place in the sky to the next, not extremely quick, but that it had shifted or moved. I found it interesting that while one light disappeared quickly the other remained rather stationary for a forty minutes or more.

Flying object

Second sighting: June 5th Wed. 435 PM. I have pix and a short 25 sec. video of the object. Sitting in my backyard late afternoon when I heard a helicopter, looking up, the traffic helicopter flew by and above and in the distance there was a jellyfish looking object. The trees were blowing west to east and this object came south to north. There were no clouds to reference higher wind directions. After I snapped the pix and enlarged them it looked like an elongated jellyfish with bulbous eyes. Researching weather balloons and spy balloons nothing compared, though it had a milky material like a balloon and reflected the sunlight. Whiteman AFB is 60 miles southeast of Raytown where the new B 21 stealth bomber is based. So I assumed military in nature. Chinese spy balloon? The altitude was above the helicopter, roughly 10,000 feet.
First sighting: was in early May. Same time. Late afternoon. I just happened to look up and a dot "flew" by. Regrettably no pix. The object had no wings, or engines, and it made no noise. It was structurally different than the second sighting. It was a dull whiteish dot that didn't reflect the setting sun. It came from the same southerly direction-my back patio faces south where I sit in the evenings. This object was below the west to east moving clouds and seemingly "flew" above and between my neighbors large trees without disturbing them. It then climbed and disappeared in the clouds to the north.

Moving much too fast to be a conventional aircraft. Then jogged in a half circle as it appeared to go around a high flying (as they do here) bird riding the thermals. The bird was going more northerly. The shiny thing was going southwesterly very fast until it encountered the bird then stopped, jogged and continued very fast. Seems like it took 5 seconds or less.

As with most of these sightings it went really fast but I was able to get two pictures. Just shows a little dot. But it’s unidentified. (There are a few birds in pic but it is not a bird.)

7 then 5 then one alone all white diamonds with bright red-orange inner circle no noise moved left to right all three groups vanished

I was walking in the grocery parking lot to my car. Somewhere between the horizon & strait up I saw 7 bright red-orange balls, each surrounded by a fuzzy but bright white glow in a diamond shape. Each the same size. They were about 2,000"high & and in a random group (some above some others & some ahead of some others, but bunched together ). They all moved from SW to NE. They never stopped moving from left to right, but a few looked like they moved smoothly, but not quickly, up and down. A 2nd group of 5 followed behind the 1st group about 1/2 mile away, in a similar type group with same type movements. About 1/2 mile behind 2nd group was a lone UFO moving in the same direction as the others. I asked a little girl if she saw them too, when viewing the 1st 7. She said more were coming. I asked her to record them on her phone & it looked like she did on her screen. It looked hard for her to keep any more than 3 ( of the 2nd group of 5) on screen at once. I forgot to ask her name. An older girl was with her that saw them too. They looked bigger and higher in the sky than any drones I have seen. They looked as big as a small helicopter, but smaller than almost any plane. AN adult male ( 30 years old ) watched them after I pointed them out to him. He said he didn't know what they were. All the lights suddenly went out on the 1st 7 while high in the sky above and to the left. Then the 2nd 5 and the lone 1 did the same. It was as if they just vanished without even getting close to a horizon or close to out of view. One minute after UFO's went dark, a low flying large propeller plane with many bright white lights flew from west to east towards where UFO's were.

Erratically moving star-like light in the sky zig-zagging from one side of the sky to another.

We were enjoying a beer on the back patio when we noticed a star moving in the sky. We view the stars very often and are well aware of drones, planes, satellites, etc. This was not that. It was indistinguishable from a star in the sky in a appearance (if it would have stayed still). Yet it would move all around the night sky in zigzags and loops erratically changing direction and speed. It was going, at times, about twice as fast as a linear-moving satellite or plane. At other times it was much slower. There were several in the sky at some points. We watched for approximately an hour and would see it look like it split into several other lights that would fly in different directions. We would track it's movement by comparing it to stationary stars (eg. "it's about to cross that star, oh it just turned around, its going down now toward the bright star" etc). We both saw the exact same movement. It was NOT the slight movement seen by atmospheric variation (ie. movement that would stay in the distance of the tip of your thumb at an arms length) as it would move all over the sky. It seemed to stay mostly in our field of vision. Twice it got slightly closer and may have been spherical but this was only seen by one party, not both. After an hour of watching it dance in the sky, we saw three of them in a line at equal-distance and fly off into the North-West sky (complete opposite direction) to disappear and not return. We waited about 20 minutes for a return and it never did. For the whole hour we viewed, it was seen in the sky for approximately 30-40 minutes, so pretty often. It would appear out of no where then disappear. It also seemed like it stopped refracting light at times but could still be seen very faintly. It was seen at approximately 45 degrees from the horizon.

Above-link is a great example of what we saw. NOT our video as it was too faint with light pollution to capture on camera, but it looked very similar to this.

It almost looked like someone was shining a flashlight but definitely couldn't have been the way it looked and definitely wasn't a reflection. And the way it moves was like a fairy, is the only way I can describe it. It did NOT move like a machine. Very bug like. But no way it was a bug. It zipped parallel and passed us on my side and disappeared

Outside facing East, see light in sky figure satellite..but stay for few second then moves off to the SW slowly, but flashing orange.

Went outside with the dog looked to the East saw a light, typical, figured a plane then the color scheme was wrong, just orange flashing light (not like a plane) a little slower. Sat there motionless then moved to the SW at the speed of a fast plane. Went inside told my boys (didn't care) amd went out the front door facing south. It came over and headed SW flashing consistently, then just went out. No cloud bank I could see other stars and planets. Storm in the area to the north. Just didn't look quite normal. My dog, once inside, went to the window and looked in the direction. (Coincidence, quite plausible)

Very fast moving white orb

Happened today in central U.S. I was facing East at 2:05pm Central time.

Bright white round object moved across my field of view in just 3 or 4 seconds. Traveled from South to North (which seems to be a rare orbit from my brief research). It didn't seem to be perfectly round, either had a chunk missing or something sticking out. It's hard to recall exactly, but I remember it wasn't perfectly round. No trail or disruption to atmosphere.

I see commercial aircraft occasionally from my location and I would estimate that this object was traveling 10-20 times the speed of a plane.

Viewed through 12x high quality binoculars. I was bird watching and after the bird I was looking at flew off, I focused on some clouds just above the horizon and scanned the sky randomly. The object appeared in my view and despite its incredible speed I was able to track it until the roof of my house obstructed my view.

I only observed it moving in a straight line.

I don't think I've ever seen a satellite in the daytime, and some research shows that the S - N trajectory is also rare.

Looking out back door through the trees towards a road on the ridge when I noticed an orange light seemingly close to the ground. The area is full of trees, its part of a watershed so its hilly, the light looked as though the brightest part was on the ground. I'm guessing it was about 500 feet from my house. My first thought was that a neighbor had gotten a mercury vapor light, sometimes they are orange. Watched the light for awhile seemed to brighten and then dim, I decided that I must be seeing a car on the road on the ridge. The next night husband drove over the road with his emergency flashers on and could not see any car lights. I look every night but so far have not seen it again...so far. (Picture: Light was just to the right of the closest large tree and about 500 feet away and appeared just below horizon line.)

Orange lights seen ascending up from great height

At approximately 8:40pm I saw an orange light at approx 20 degrees elevation at heading due west at 270 degrees. This orange light was as bright as the star Sirius in magnitude. Beneath this orange light another orange light moved from 5 degrees from the left to 5 degrees to the right of the stationary orange light. This orange light was about 5 degrees below this stationary light. Time taken for this light to travel was about 10 seconds and then it faded out. A few seconds later the stationary orange light faded out. Between three and five minutes later I saw another orange light ten degrees off of the horizon rise in a curve to the left approx ten degrees above the horizon and fade out. 90 seconds later starting in the same location another orange light rises again in a concordal curve and fade in the same place as the first. This happened four times total every 90 seconds. From my location at night I can see planes leaving from Omaha and Kansas City. Omaha is north northwest of this location 90 miles away and Kansas City is south east from this location 100 miles away. The only commercial airport in the direction of sighting is Denver but at 600 miles the distance to horizon is too far to see air trafic from there. Weather was clear and 54 degrees.

The shimmering silver cylinder was floating in the sky and faded in and out of sight as it rotated.

I viewed the object from the Kentucky Fried Chicken building on William St. in Cape Girardeau, MO. on 11-29-2023 at 12 noon. I first noticed white birds circling a parking lot street light at 2136 William St.. Then, above this lamp, I saw a vertical cylinder shaped object constantly rotating and going in and out of visibility as it turned. It was shimmering in the sunlight with sparkly light and silver spots then completely disappearing and reappeared over and over. It resembled a translucent veil covering a tin can. I estimate the size as big as a box truck. I watched it for several seconds trying to decide if I was really seeing it. I was with my father at the time but he was unable to see it as his clear view was blocked by a sign. When I reached for my phone to snap a photo the object vanished. Immediately, I noticed two helicopters in the area and counted 17 other aircraft within 30 minutes of the sighting, which was weird for Cape Girardeau! I am not crazy and know what I saw. I did check with the locale police department, but they had no other reports of sightings.

I included a pic of the exact location where I saw the object above the light in the center of the photo.

Clear sky, many stars visible. Stepped off my front porch and looked upwards, facing south-by-southwest, when I saw an object, star-like in appearance, flying in a tight circle around the star Aldebaran of the Taurus constellation. I only witnessed this strange behavior for a second or two before the object suddenly stopped and took off in a straight line to the left, passing through the center of the Orion constellation and continuing on until it was out of sight. It took 45-60 seconds to cross the sky, moving at what seemed a slower pace than when it was circling the star.

An object in what look like mist and bobbing light

Wife and I have observed numerous unusual lights in the last 6 months. We see airplanes/helicopters daily due to small airport close by and KCI being not too far. But in the last several weeks we have seen 3 or 4 separate ufos. The first was about 2 or 3 weeks before the latest last week.

The first was a bobbing light that would skip ahead suddenly then return to bobbing across the sky. We observed it for several minutes before it disappeared behind the roof. Seemed several 1000ft in the air.. Tried to take photos. But all 3 turned out as streaks on the camera phone…

Then last week I noticed an object moving fast about 2-300 ft off the ground going over our house.. Took me a minute to realize what I was seeing and pointed it out to my wife. It seemed to be an object or objects in a cloud of mist. It almost seemed to be changing shape or the mist was distorting the shape. No sound at all.

We sit on our back deck to smoke and are avid sky watchers. We have seen skylink and other satellites on several occasions. But what we have seen lately is beyond our experience.

Location: KANSAS CITY, MO, USA
Location details: Seen from back yard, moving West to East

Shape: Changing


I observed a black object appearing to rotate clockwise without sound as it moved West to East, reflecting sunlight periodically.

I first observed the object in the Western sky above my house, appearing more distant than a passing plane which was moving North to South and initially believed it was a Bald Eagle changing courses in the air due to a seemingly black body and a white "head." As I continued to watch the object, I could tell it was lower than the plane had been, was dropping altitude and appeared to be a tumbling black triangle or other polygonal shape before settling into one altitude which did not appear to change in any meaningful way.

The object was moving West to East at a slow pace, without jerky movements and produced no sound. After it passed above my home and some power lines, it appeared to be rotating clockwise and was now a diamond shape like that found on an engagement ring. It passed above a nearby cell phone tower (~200ft high) as it continued East.

As it reached a nearby highway (from what I could tell distance-wise), the object began tracking South. Still rotating and no marked change in speed. Direction change wasn't abrupt or concerning in any way. Throughout the viewing, the object would reflect the sun but seemingly only on one side as it rotated.

Sketches of the object include one shape which is the "tumbler" and the second which is the "diamond." The video I have cannot be uploaded through the form because the file size is too large, do not want to add compression to the video to keep it its highest quality.

Three brilliantly white Lights hovering in the sky

While I was walking my dog late on Friday night I happened to notice three very bright white lights in the shape of a triangle, its position was at 89 degrees of the compass and about 30 degrees above the horizon. I watched this object for about 30 minutes, it never moved from its position, and then it just disappeared from view. There were no sounds or movement coming from it. I'm a veteran, I've seen all sorts of flares and bright lights, but the light that was coming from the object was the most brilliant light that I have ever seen in my life. My MOS in the military was Air Traffic Controller, I have many years of experience when it comes to aircraft and what should and should Not be in the sky. This was not any conventional aircraft that I know of. Friday night was a clear night with no cloud cover at all.

A very long, BRIGHT white, thin rectangle appeared between the Moon & Jupiter and moved directly towards the Moon & disappeared

I arrived at home from the grocery store in Hollister, MO at 8:47PM and noticed how big the Moon appeared to be and how it was almost an orange color. I stopped to take a couple of pictures to send to my mother, who was staying about 10 minutes from me in Branson, MO at Stone Castle Inn. I continued to look at the Moon and opened my Satellite Tracker app to see what planet was close to it and saw that it was Jupiter. As I was about to walk indoors, I saw a VERY bright white, long and thin rectangle appear inbetween Jupiter and the Moon. It was moving at the pace of a pretty fast jet directly towards the Moon. It began to get even more bright white (I've never seen something this "shade" of white), it began to go faster, angling up towards the Moon and as soon as it was directly in front of it from where I was standing, it completely disappeared. It literally was there one moment and gone the next. I have never seen anything move quite like it before and the speed it reached, made no sense to me. There was no noise and for something THAT large, I do not understand why I did not hear anything. Anyways, whatever it was, was absolutely captivating and beautiful. After this event, I received a text message from my mother and she asked me if I had seen something weird by the Moon (as she went outside after I had initially sent her the two photos of the Moon). She described a very similar experience, with the only difference being that she thought she saw a smaller round shaped "something" further below this object that was moving in sync with it. I attached a photo that I sent my mother, with a circle where this object first appeared and the direction that it moved. I would love to be contacted if anyone else has reported this event.

A light across the sky at high speed

I am a frequent stargazer. I was observing: a satellite, planet, and the harvest moon also i was trying to determine what planet it could possibly be. As I was looking a small "light" like a plane came across the sky in our atmosphere moving faster than any jet i have seen. Vanishing off in the horizon. It didn't have a tail. I was looking in an empty space with no one visible outside. It looked fairly high up but difficult to say how high because it was moving extremely fast. I can honestly say I never seen anything even close to this in my life

Occurred: 2023-09-25 22:51 Local
Reported: 2023-09-27 09:31 Pacific
Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Edgerton, MO, USA
Location details: The object was in the sky northeast of my farm.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

The object doesn't move like an airplane it appears as a spinning ball of light.

This is the second time I have video recorded this ball of light in the sky over my farm. It is about the height of a helicopter but makes no sound. It hovers and makes swift changes in direction but stays in the same area. I was trying to find out what this object may be. I do live close to an airport and know what the airplanes look like it does not seem as high as the airplanes and stays in the same spot appearing to be a spinning ball of light.

Saw an round shaped silverfish craft

I just left the house for work, driving eastward toward Saint John's catholic church, when out of my left peripheral I saw something moving through the tree line, when it appeared directly in front of me, I saw a sphere shape silverish object, spinning and reflecting light. When it stopped above the church, I decided to record, then it just glided off. I sure would like to know what it was.

Flashing lights before dusk

I was just sitting at home and saw out of my window some glimmering lights in the eastern sky. I’ve never seen anything like that before, they kind of danced around the sky, split seconds in each location, from one flash to another. I started recording a video probably about 10 seconds after I first noticed it. All in all lasted roughly 30 seconds that I was aware of.

This was a summer evening. There was allegedly thunderstorms in the area, but I had not seen any lightning nor heard thunder. A bit before this it was quite windy, but I think that had stopped by the time this happened. The sky in that area seemed overcast. A bit after this it started raining. I did not notice any thunder or lightning at all this day.

This happened in St. Louis, MO on 09/04/2023 at exactly 6:49 PM.

Lights appearing and looked like they were blinking/watching me

Looked up after getting off work at the night sky admiring the bright full moon and witnessed lights appearing out of thin air a few formed triangles. These lights were not FAA lights with the typical red and green flashes. These lights appeared out of thin air and blinked. As I gazed more and more, even more lights appeared. I do believe I genuinely witnessed an incident. I seen strange things before and tried to get insight into it but no leads. I truly believe we as humans have been visited and are continually visited by an advanced biological entity. I have countless experiences of what I seen over the years. What happened at the small Missouri town during an outdoor football game truly secured my personal research. I know they exist and they may very well be living amongst us humans. I do not have physical proof but will be working on getting that taken care of. I know this is very wordy but I know what i saw over these years and no government entity can tell me otherwise. Please take my inquiry as serious as a stemi.
