News about UFOs in Missouri

Missouri had 85 UFO sighting reports in October, 2011 - the largest number of reports in any state!
Most reports were from the Lee's Summit, Raytown, Independence, and Kansas City areas

Update Dec 6, 2011: Research into the mass UFO sightings in the Lee's Summit, Raytown, Independence, and Kansas City Missouri UFO sightings continue as investigators wade through stacks of reports, photos, and videos obtained from multiple witnesses. UFO sightings increased monthly since April of 2011 in the greater Kansas City area, culminating with 85 reports received in Missouri during the month of October. The number of November sightings is lower, however, on November 11 and 27 MUFON received reports from multiple witnesses of possibly the same object. This object, described as massive, round in shape, with multiple lights on the bottom of the craft and in some cases with appendages and other docking craft, has been described in a number of the October and November cases. Missouri MUFON Assistant State Director Margie Kay, from Kansas City, Missouri is heading the investigations and State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer from the St. Louis area has been instrumental in assisting with the case. Other investigators from Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas have assisted as well. Margie believes that a craft may be remaining in the area, possibly hidden in a remote location east of the city. The sightings have been heavily reported in local and regional media and nationally by Linda Moulton Howe. Howe has posted an interview at www.earthfiles.com, and this was aired on Coast-to-Coast AM on November 22. She will likely do an updated report soon. Kay posts updated reports and press releases on the Missouri MUFON website at www.missourimufon.org.  Updates will be presented at the December 12 meeting in Kansas City.

	October 4, 2011 Left: Photo taken with a digital camera of a UFO hovering over an area near 63rd Street and I-435 in Kansas City, near Raytown at approximately 20 feet away from one witness, and 50 feet away from the second witness.  Other witnesses saw the craft, which moved around the area, and hovered for approximately 30 minutes. This picture was taken looking DOWN at the UFO from a balcony at an apartment building.  The two key witnesses had strange experiences, missing photos from their phone and camera, and possible missing time.  Right: Photo taken of the object when it was further away and at a higher altitude.  The object emitted a green color beam, which appeared to scan the area.  The witnesses said that the object changed shape and seemed fluid rather than solid. Investigators are still working on this case and more information will be released as soon as possible. ©Copyright 2011 by Missouri MUFON and the witnesses.

Lost amid yesterday’s hard-hitting news coverage of Sarah Palin getting booed on Dancing with the Stars and what some asshole in North Korea did about his lackluster children was a bit of serious, troubling information. Organized by writer and researcher Robert Hastings, seven former U.S. Air Force personnel gave a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., about an incredibly important, but often overlooked matter of national security: aliens who hang around nuclear power plants. Officer after officer got up to the microphone to tell tales of UFO sightings in the air over military-guarded power generators

Orange Orbs and Multiple Sightings Perplex Kansas City MUFON

July 6, 2009 Kansas City, Missouri

The increase in UFO sightings in the greater Kansas City area has State Section Director for Kansas City Margie Kay and other field investigators perplexed. “We are receiving one or two reports per day now instead of the usual one a month,” says Kay. Since January 1 sightings have increased steadily, with reports coming in faster than the field investigators can handle them. In the past two weeks Kansas City MUFON has recorded three reports of silver cigar-shaped objects over Independence from separate witnesses, multiple bright orange or white orbs or spheres, orange tear-drop shapes, several silver saucer shapes, rectangular objects, many white lights and star-like objects, and chevron shaped craft. Some of the objects have appeared multiple times to the same witnesses over several weeks, and in several cases, witnesses report seeing a separate small orange or red sphere ejected from a larger craft.

Margie said “The strange thing is that we can usually attribute most of the UFO reports we get to planets or man-made craft, but the sheer number of sightings and strangeness of the recent cases is highly unusual.” Kay thinks that its time to call this a UFO “Flap.”

Following are the latest sighting reports:

07/03/09: A man said that he and a friend saw a large orange glowing sphere in the Northern sky traveling from West to East towards Sedalia on Highway 50 just outside Lee's Summit, The object was at tree-top height and appeared to be approximately 200 yards from his vehicle. It seemed to follow along at the same speed as his car for about 20 minutes, then took off at a high rate of speed towards the Northeast and disappeared.

07/04/09: While watching fireworks Saturday evening in Independence, Missouri 32 witnesses saw two orange glowing spheres traveling from North to South. One sphere was following another and the one behind was slightly larger and brighter. The objects move smoothly in a slight wave motion at approximately 30 MPH estimated at 60 feet off the ground at treetop height. The entire group of witnesses were awestruck.

07/05/09: A couple was driving north on 435 about four miles southeast of Kansas City International Airport.  “We saw several planes around the area then we noticed an orange orb flying low basically following interstate 435 toward the southeast in the opposite direction of us.  There were 4 of us in the car that all witnessed and watched this.  We watched it for about 2 minutes until it was too far south to see it.  There was a plane that flew about 1,000 feet right above the orb so you could distinctly tell the difference between a blinking plane and this orange orb.  The orb was flying slow, I would guess around 30 mph and about 100' to 200' above the ground.  It was flying in a very straight line not erratic at all.”

MUFON encourages people to report sightings, no matter how trivial they may seem. This is the only way that we can gain more understanding of the UFO phenomena, says Kay. Sighting reports take about 15 minutes to complete depending on details, and can be made a www.mufon.com. Meetings and events in Missouri are listed at www.missourimufon.org.
