Bolivar, MO

On Friday the 24th night of July, 2015, a friend and myself were out driving the back roads of the incorporated county. We decided to stop out by an old quiet farmhouse out very northwest of Bolivar and Morrisville to have a cigarette before returning home for the night. As we sat in the car on the roadside we thought we saw a couple of airplanes, but soon realized that the group of lights we were seeing moving toward us from over the fields were moving too slowly and too low to the ground to be airplanes. The formation of oblong triangles moved swiftly and silently in different attack pattern formations. They each emitted several lights but it appeared as if there were smaller light bars along the midsection of the hypotenuse of each craft and circular flood light type landing lights that were emitted from beneath all three corners. The craft seemed to do what can only be described as several flock formation maneuvers.
