Triangle over Moberly, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a UFO I think. I have never seen anything like it before. I was at the Walmart Super Center at Moberly, Mo. (1301 East Highway 24.) I was sitting in my car reading, my wife was inside getting new glasses. It was a clear day not a cloud in the sky. I just happened to look up at the sky to the northeast of Walmart. I saw this triangle shaped craft. About a third of the tips of the triangle was reddish color, the rest of it was silver. The first time I saw it for about 30 seconds then it vanished for about 10 seconds. Later, I saw it again for about 5 TO 10 seconds then it vanished in a clear blue sky. I don't know what it was, I don't know any airplanes that look like that. Maybe you have some idea on it.

My wife and I were helping my daughter move and hauling some of her belongings in Moberly, Missouri. The sighting occurred at approximately 2100 hrs. We were South bound in town on Morley Street. My asked me what that object was in the sky to the East. I looked out the drivers side window and saw on orange craft/object. It was stationary at first and had no blinking light nor making any sound. We pulled over and it slowly began to move Northward and starting picking up speed. I’m not sure how high it was but it was quite cloudy and started to rain about 15 minutes later. My wife was able to take a short video on her phone. She said it turned red at one point. After it flew out of sight we continued to my daughters house approximately a half a mile away. As we pulled up to here house we saw it once again near the same original location but traveling Northwest. Not sure if this was the same object or another one, but it was also orange. Not able to tell how high it was or the size because it was nighttime.

I was in moberly yesterday at Lowe's waiting in the car on my mom. I'm not sure what I seen but I'm pretty sure it wasn't normal. At first it just looked like red lights, then I could tell they were in the shape of a triangle. After staring at it better I could kinda see the shape of the triangle kinda see thru or bright silver. Then it just all disappeared.

Sphere object described as being white to silver held static in the sky but changed shape some. The object was seen nearly straight overhead very high in the sky, north-west of the sun's position. The object then slowly moved off north until out of sight. This lasted for at least an hour. There were at least 6 white "orbs" spotted during this time as well, flying at a high rate of speed silently heading south to north. They were spaced out some and not close to each other. These were overhead but not as high in the sky as the large object. Maybe a few hundred feet up. At least one was seen heading back south, then diverted upwards toward the object and disappeared out of sight. Many people saw this incident and a couple of pictures were taken of the object high in the sky, but there not much detail to be made out. Some said they could see something on the sides of the large object that were described as antenna shaped or fin-like. There were other aircraft seen coming toward the area of the main object, but did not interfere and passed by.
