All Reported UFO Sightings in Phillipsburg, Kansas

Full Report Text:

I am copy/pasting a recent news article concerning the recent drone sightings over southern Nebraska and northern Kansas. FBI has recently made contact with our county Sheriffs office. Being law enforcement for the State of Kansas, this is deeply concerning when the FBI doesnt even know what it is.

Hays Post JAN 15, 2020 12:40 PM Drone armada descends upon Phillips County, region Posted Jan 15, 2020 12:40 PM Stock photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@boontohhgraphy?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Sorasak</a> on Unsplash Stock photo by Sorasak on Unsplash By KIRBY ROSS Phillips County Review PHILLIPSBURG — Shortly after midnight last Wednesday morning, a drone hummed across the northern tier of Phillips County townships bordering the Nebraska state line, leaving in its wake baffled observers, barking dogs and an obvious “fingerprint” of a low-lying vapor trail in the frigid winter air several hundred feet above the ground stretching for miles. This wasn’t an isolated curiosity however — instead, it was just one more incident among scores seen by Phillips County residents and hundreds more witnessed by other individuals stretching from Omaha to Denver.

So prevalent had the sightings been up to that point that just hours before this particular incident Phillips County Sheriff Charlie Radabaugh issued a public statement saying “They’re not hurting anything.  They’re annoying. Is there anything criminal? Not really.

” The following day, the sheriff’s office followed up by stating “Earlier today, Sheriff Radabaugh was contacted by the FBI inquiring about the drone sightings in the area. No new information on the situation was received from them. We ask that since the aircraft are likely being operated by someone near them, that you report any suspicious vehicles you may see so we can attempt to contact and identify them.

” Individuals familiar with regulations regarding the operation of drones point to a requirement to obtain an FAA waiver to operate at night above people. Speculation has focused on several theories including: 1) A large number of unrelated aircraft received as Christmas presents being put up into the air around the holidays 2) An operation by a government agency hoping to scare up a public reaction forcing regulations requiring privately owned drones to start carrying identifying signals 3) Invaders from Mars Some tongue-in-cheek humor was discovered in downtown Phillipsburg last week.

Courtesy photo CNN News, which has picked up the story, notes “The incidents come as the FAA is proposing new rules that will require most drones to use remote ID technology that will allow the FAA, law enforcement and federal security agencies to identify drones flying in their jurisdiction.” If a single entity is involved it would have to be well-heeled. Heeled to the tune of seven figures for this expansive of an operation, since witnesses have stated these are not hobbyist aircraft, but are at least six-to-ten feet in diameter and have been sighted flying in groups of 10 in Phillips County, and up to 30 in Nebraska and Colorado.

With no one claiming responsibility for what seems to be a high -dollar enterprise encompassing around 150,000 square miles, the FAA and the U.S. Air Force have both taken positions of having no knowledge regarding what’s going on.

Austin Thalheim, Long Island, first noticed the drones around Thursday, Jan. 2. "About last Thursday up until now, there’s been anywhere from 15 to 20 flying around at night," he said.

"About every night, it seems like people are out driving around, trying to get a better view of them. I’d be interested to know who it is and have them tell us what’s going on.” Law enforcement in two counties in northeast Colorado put together a task force specifically to look into the reports occurring there.

With multiple deputies out in the field on the night of Dec. 20 they were able to track at least 16 drones. Colorado Sen.

Cory Gardner issued a press release earlier this month stating he personally spoke with the administrator of the FAA, who advised him his agency has people on the ground who are working with federal law enforcement to track down the operator of the drones. One sheriff in Colorado even issued a request for people to be on the lookout “for the command vehicle, a closed box trailer, or van with antennas that look suspicious.” Within 24 hours, he retracted the request, with other officials engaged in the investigation saying authorities were never looking for any such ground vehicle in the first place.

12 red flashing lights, traveling slowly, with a heading in SW KANSAS. On Dec. 8, 2017, (sic.

Dec. 9th) my husband and myself witnessed a distinctive row of red lights traveling SW of Phillipsburg, KS. They were lined up and flashing, moving at a slow rate of speed.

Did not see any object just the lights there was at least a dozen red flashing lights no sounds of engines, just silence. Would love to know if anyone else has reported that sighting. ((NUFORC Note: We suspect that the time indicated by the witness is flawed, and we have attempted to contact her to confirm whether the sighting might have been during the evening.

In the meantime, we have amended the time above. PD.

7 objects with red, blue, and white lights and one moving star in Kansas night sky Left restaurant and looked up at sky. Noticed in the east a star that was changing between red, blue, and silver. When I returned home which was west 15 minutes later, I again went to look up at the star.

What looked like a plane/jet was coming from the east, flew overhead, and proceeded west. It made no sound. As I turned to watch it head west, that’s when I noticed another object like it, same size, moving extremely close to it heading east.

Freaked me out because it seemed they were so close. At the corner of my eye, I then notice what looked like a star moving to the north. It moved north out of sight.

I then follow the east moving object and see that it is moving to the star in east that changes colors. At that time, I then noticed 3 other glowing objects around that star in the east. The eastward moving object then seems to stop under these other objects and they all just hover there for a few minutes.

Then 2 object heads south and 1 heads southwest. I went inside to get my telescope, although it is a piece of junk; saw nothing with it. The objects are still heading in the above direction.

It all creeped me out so I went inside. Around 10 minutes later, being curious, I went back outside and in the east the star was still there (don’t know if it maybe it was Venus, but with all this other going on, I wonder) and there were still 3 objects hovering there and then 1 starts going east. I go back inside and text a friend to look and then go back out possibly 10 minutes later and the sky is cloudy and I can’t see a thing.

Should have reported it to police. My significant other saw this also. They had pulsating red lights that moved around in a circle.

There was also a blue light and a small white light on the side of them, but the one that moved north just looked like an ordinary star. It appeared to go faster than the others. My significant other said he thought they were going like 100 mph.

Maybe it was military; I don’t know. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

My wife, myself and some friends were coming into our town when witnessed what I wanted to call a Chinese lantern. It flew right over the car. I got a decent look at it from underneath and it was not flickering at all.

The color was almost like a day glow/florescent red and the color moved like smoke within the red. We circled the block to get another look at it but by the time we got there, it was gone. It is my opinion that what we saw on the night of July 4th, was moving at a moderate speed and not at a floating speed such as what a Chinese lantern would exhibit.

Formation of Yellow-Orange,Gold Orbs My Fiance and my friend and I, were all sitting inside talking when there was a vibration in the house. The vibration sounded like a diesel engine outside of the house. I went out to look, as it sounded as if it was in my driveway, but with my going outside the noise was not there.

I looked up and spotted from heading from the south to the north west a starlike object that stopped on its flight path heading north then it stopped again headed north east. While watching this myself, my friend ((name #1 deleted)) and my fiance ((name #2 deleted)) spotted a flight of 12- 16 yellow-orange, gold orbs fly directly overhead in a tight formation. The formation at first reminded me of bubbles as they appeared almost translucent but they were self illuminated.

My friend ((name #1 deleted)) thought geese, but Geese fly in a v pattern not a tight grouped formation as these had done. The entire sighting of the orbs lasted 2 seconds. I am confident as are the 2 other witnesses that these were not balloons, geese or conventional aircraft.

I would be interested to know if any one else has seen these orbs. Below is a link to a photo shop image of the grouping minus the color: http://i59.photobucket.
