Missouri UFO Sightings in 2000

Full Report Text:

Chased by light As I checked the box above I dont remember the exact date. The day and time I remember but not the year exactly, it could have been 01 instead but Im leaning toward 2000. The time could have been closer to 4:30 am instead of 4 but this was over 20 years ago and I'm just going by memory.

I left a friends house around 4 in the morning and was heading east on highway A. I seen something in front of me in the sky shining a light down. It was about an eighth of a mile away and couple hundred feet in sky so I pull the car to shoulder and watch it for a few seconds then the light dimmed but I could still make out a light just not the previous beam or spotlight but it starts coming in my direction so i do a u turn and accelerate.

I was kind of freaked out because of stuff i had seen on tv to say the least. It ends up flying just behind the rearend of The Car I was driving and it was swaying back and forth. It followed Me for a quarter mile until it veered off to the left and I continued to drive straight.

There was no other witnesses and it was scary to be chased by something like this alone. It could have been a helicopter but I didnt hear It. While back I seen a show about highland illinois UFOs and it got me thinking about my incident even more.

The logical explanation for mine was helicopter but it seems like I would have heard it. It would be a terrible joke as somebody could get hurt. That's what happened.

Green fireball over Springfield,MO Mom and I were visiting a family member at the hospital. As we were leaving the parking lot I saw a bright green light flash on my right ( North). The light fell towards the west and vanished below the tree line.

I asked Mom if she saw that, and she said yes, she had never seen a green shooting star before. I told Mom I wasn't sure it was a shooting star. We talked about the location of the airport and the speed of what we had seen.

I also told Mom I had seen a similar object some days before. I don't know what we saw that night, but I know it wasn't natural.

I saw pinpoints of light that flashed, disappeared and appeared again and another time, a large, metallic disc. It was a cold, clear night with bright stars visible. I caught a flash of light to my left in the south east just above the trees.

It started as a pinpoint and then a bright flash, then nothing. Then it would appear again in a random pattern. Sometimes to the left, then the right, then up, then down behind the trees.

I had seen such a light about 1 month ago just as I was about to arrive at my turnoff to my house. It was more to the north and a very bright flash and as suddenly gone. I am a paraprofessional and my husband is employed in the trailer business and is also a Beef Farmer.

About 7 years ago, I also saw, again when I was nearly home, a bright, enormous, saucer shaped object hovering over a cleared field to my left. It was a bright, moonlight night and I rolled the truck window down to make sure I wasn't seeing a reflection. It wasn't and it was as big as a fotball field and absolutely silent.

I slowed down almost to a stop but I was too scared to completely stop. It was like nothing I had ever seen before.

Turquoise egg flickering over my neighbor's house materialized and flew over my house. As I sat out on my deck I saw a turquoise(ish) glowing egg floating over a neighbor's house behind my house. It sort of flickered on and off for about 10 seconds.

Then it "materialized" and started zipping back and forth at an impossible speed. Then it flew right over the roof of my house (my guess is it was about 100 feet above) and dissapeared. I would never lie about a thing like this; it was freaky! I would definitely want as many people as possible to know what I saw.

grey and white hovering Y shape I am an Inspector for the ((name and type of organization deleted)). While driving to work today, I observed something I was unable to identify. I was westbound on Hwy.

50, approximately 8-10 miles from Sedalia. This would be the vicinity of Smithton, MO. I noticed a shape in the sky ahead of me.

Clouds had just moved into the area and it had sprinkled rain. The shape was over an open field to the South of the highway by approximately 100 feet. I noticed a grey shape just a little darker than the clouds and no movement to it.

It appeared to hover. I was driving at or about the speed limit of 60 m.p.

h. and observed the object for a total of possibly 15 seconds. The color wasn't a shiny metallic, but seemed to be shades of white and grey.

The shape of the object was that of a 'Y'. There was a fuselage and a wing coming off each (back?) side in the slanted position. I saw no propellors, rotors, or 'engine' type parts.

It seemed to be somewhat larger than an ultralite, about the size of a small plane. The object appeared to hover, as I could detect no movement. This area is approximately 15 miles WSW of Whitman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, MO.

A co-worker who drives in from the West told me he saw a black helicopter hovering just before he got to work. Our work place is roughly halfway between my sighting area and the AFB. There is also an airport for small aircraft in the area.

This was not any airplane I have ever seen (and I have seen many of all types). ((NUFORC Note: We are grateful for the report. We wonder whether the witness may have observed a type of experimental aircraft known as a VariEasy, or a VariViggen, designed by Burt Rutan.

They are very unusual in appearance, particularly to someone who has never seen one. PD)).

grey, dull, metallic looking Cigar craft I was working at 1701 S Campbell, and came out for a cigarette. Spotted a dull grey metallic Zeppelin looking thing out to the North a ways. Moved steadily to the east.

Was also seen by volunteer and we couldn't figure out what it was.""""";pe.

Reflective object see on ground by pilot. While teaching a fellow friend to drive, we were heading North bound on FF highway toward Saint Joseph. About 3 miles outside of Saint Joseph city limits, above the trees there was a 3 dimensional reflective rectangle in the air, not moving, approximately 5 miles away.

The reason we were able to see the object is that the sun was setting in the west, and the object was in the north. Thus, the sun was reflecting off the object. A few seconds later, the object turned clockwise, and was very difficult to see, because of the loss of reflection.

A few seconds later the object disappeared. I am a pilot, and the object I saw was not a commercial aircraft. The object was too large an not moving.

3 bright golden lights moving independently above the tree line flaring and fading intermittently for approx. 15 min. My husband was driving my 2 daughters and I home last night.

Just before we reached our house I noticed a bright golden light in the sky. I looked twice at it because it didn't look like the normal plane lights I am use to seeing in the area. On my second look, 2 more lights suddenly appeared diagonally left and upward of the first.

I became very excited and yelled to my husband to stop the car and back up since we had reached our driveway and the trees were now obstructing my view. He looked at me like I was crazy and refused to go back. My 12 yr.

old daughter didn't believe me either. My husband dropped us off at home, he had an errand to run. My 2 yr.

old daughter was asleep so I took her into the house and put her in bed and told my 12 yr. old I was going back out to look for the lights again. I was standing in my back yard looking at the various stars and plane lights through the trees, when my 12 yr.

old decided to join me. I was explaining to her what I had seen when we suddenly noticed a bright light flare up just above the tree line to the south of my home. We became very excited and then suddenly another flared up diagonally/upward to the left of the first and then another some distance apart to the right of the first at the same level.

They appeared to move very quickly and then disappear, only to reappear in roughly the same positions, minutes later. I ran into the house to get my video camera, but it was too dark and it couldn't record the lights. The lights didn't return after that.

We were very excited and my daughter said she felt like she was watching T.V. and I said the color of the lights seemed bright yellow/gold and she said she thought they looked more red.

We both said they reminded us of fireworks or flares except they were sustained with no smoke or light trails and absolutely no sound. We noticed an unusual amount of planes appearing to move toward the area where we had seen the lights and my daughter said the planes had scared the lights away.

Driving on Hyw.141 at Hyw. 44 and going East, I witnessed to my right a glowing orb of light streak horizontally from East to West at an extreme rate of speed.

There was no trailing tail . The light did not "spill" out of the orb, but instead glowed from within and lite like a light bulb. The orb streaked across the night sky , then made a severe turn to its left leaving my view behind a stand of tall trees.

I was so awe-struck that I almost ran into the rear of the vehicle in front of my car.

The craft was big, orange, and oval shaped. I am a 48 year old mother of three grown children. I have been having trouble sleeping for the last three or four nights, therefore I was up at 3:30 a.

m. on 10/10/00. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I went into the kitchen, got a Diet Coke, then went into the livingroom, sat down on the couch, and turned my lamp off.

There was a glow that I could see out the window, and my first thought was my daughters house is on fire, her house is located about 100 feet west of my house, with nothing obstructing the view. This is what made me get off the couch and look, and I couldn't believe what I saw. It was solid orange, with no blinking lights, and my guess is it was about the size of a football field, and it was hovering over my daughters house.

It hovered for about three minutes then it was gone.

Triangle shapes exhibit unusual movements. Have never read a report like this one but here goes.… Traveling south on 65 hiway outside of Springfield my companion and I noted a triangle shape drop out of the cloud cover.

As a former Naval radar man I would estimate the altitude at angels 3. (three thousand feet)… The triangle shape was dark grey in color and at no time exposed its thickness. In fact it resembled a Kite.

It would move side to side, up and down and then zip back up into the clouds. Once when it returned it had two smaller triangle shapes with it. They exhibited similar movements… My companion was speechless until the end of the event.

white disappearing lights Icame outside on sunday oct 1st around 9:30-9:45PM to look at the stars. I was looking to north then I turned around to look south. Then I noticed these two white lights that were parallel to each other.

Then the two lights started to lift off at an angle toward the sky. ((NUFORC Note: Description is not inconsistent with landing lights on approaching aircraft, but we do not know what the inidividual witnessed. PD)).

Cigar shaped Object in Sikeston Tonight, Sep 13, 2000 at aprox. 2010 or so, I was standing out on the back deck with my daughter. I told her to bring her little binoculars out so we could look at the moon, planes or any UFOs.

I brought my bigger binoculars out as well. I was talking on the telephone and looking at a plane that caught my eye. Well, I pointed it out to my daughter and as I turned around I happened to look above me.

Well lo and behold there was a silent, cigar shaped object gliding along from west to east. It had no wings, was solid as I could see it blotting out the stars that should have been thru it. It had one steady white light (with a slight yellowish cast to it) on either end of it.

When I looked thru the binoculars I could also see a dimmer solid red light towards the back about 3/4 of the way. While not viewed with the binoculars, it seemed to have a slight haze arpound it, like perhaps anothe rbrighter light on top that I could not make out from the bottom. It was apparently at a fairly high altitude.

When I saw it right over me, it was equal to about 3 to 3 and a hlaf thumb nails wide ( at arms length) there was no noise that could be heard, although at its percieved altitude, the sound if it had any probably could not have been heard. The plane was headed generally southeast and looked like it was at a lower altitude (note I didnt notice any noise associated with it either.) The plane seemed to not take any notice of the other object whatsoever.

My daughter (shes 6 so not the best observer however) and I both saw it as did my sister (40) because I opened the door and shouted to come out quick quick quick! She saw it as two white lights traveling along (the red light was only noticeable with the binocs) My binoculars are Bushnell Ensign Wide Angle. They are 7 x 35 (500 feet at 1000 yards).

Strange ball of light moving erratically. I live in the country with no street lights or buildings to obscure or mess with my vision. I was driving to work (Emergency Call) and I saw a round and extremely bright light suddenly switch on kind of like if you were in a dark room and someone 10 feet away turned on a flashlight and moved it.

It looked to be at least a few miles away from me - my viewing angle must have been ~45 degrees. It didn't show a beam in any direction (not from the ground, and no beam emitted from the light in any direction). It was just a round ball of light.

It made a quick move in the shape of a "J." Then it switched off. It turned back on again a few seconds later and did a "Z" and then turned off.

Seconds later it switched back on, did another upward "Z" and I never saw it again. It never left any sort of trail or tail indicating a meteor. I had even rolled my window down to see if I could hear anything but I was either too far a way to hear or it just didn't make a sound.

It was just wierd. Nothing around me or in the car could have done this. It certainly didn't look like a spotlight.

There were no clouds around to bounce a light off of anyway. I'm not a crack headed country yocal either. I am an educated professional.

I have all of my own teeth too! I just saw a very odd light in the sky that oddly did not have any beam to or from it. I will speak with anyone about it - ((e-address deleted)).
