Light over Union, MO

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

In South Union after dark, I saw what appeared to be ~30-40 lights in the Eastern part of the sky going North to South. It looked like if you've ever seen a satellite at night; like a shooting star but very slow with a constant speed and brightness with no blinking lights. However, in this case there were about 30-40 of these "stars" that were fairly close together, moving in a line parallel with the horizon and in the Eastern sky going from North to South. The "stars" did have a constant speed and the did not move up or down. They were in a perfect line and covered roughly 25 degrees of the sky. Eventually, they all just kind of slowly faded away as they made it further along the sky. Either they became too far away to see or there was some hazy cloud cover they went behind. I would estimate that the viewing angle would be right at 35-40 degrees from the horizon.

Neither me nor him heard any noise, nor did his aunt, but another witness said they heard a noise such as an aircraft. We as well as other saw 2 to 3 different lights hovering, blinking off and on. Sometimes pulsing off and on. Sometimes solid colors and sometimes changing colors, mostly white lights, but also red, blue, and other colors. I believe a witness or two call the union police depth and some other organization, not for sure if local airport, etc., and said there were no planes or helicopters reported in area. One of the lights would be the brightest, brighter than any aircraft or planet, I did not witness any other days, but on June 24 the next night 2 lights were back. I also saw about a week before that the St Louis news channel called fox2now.Com had a reports from many witnesses of strange lights around the union and at Louis area a week before all of this. On other occassions, I have seen lights before that hover over the past few years. I have memories from my child hood from ages as early as 5 to 12 years old of missing time and also sleep walking multiple times, I grew up in my grandparents home, and my sleep walking going getting out if bed and going outside got so bad, sometimes they would stay up to watch me and also add extra locks on doors so it would cause it to be harder for me to get outside. And I also remember stories that my grandmother told about seeing a strange light and entity while her, my grandpa v and their kids were in the car. And in the late 1980s there was a documented report that my grandpa's broth! er my great uncle had a crop circle on his farm, he told pepol! e he had seen a craft and also an entity and talked to them, but alot of people on our town made fun of him and he never spoke of it again, my grand parents are no longer living, but my great uncle is. I just know for years I've seen things I can't explain and with my sleep walking and missing time I would like to find out what has went on for all my life. When I was a child, I would sometimes have bruises or marks on my chest arms and legs that could not explain, a few in my adult life. I've done research over the years and heard about hypnosis. If a person could put me in contact with someone who done that I would be willing to do that if I could possibility find out answers to make sure I'm haven't lOSS my mind or dreamed things up. I know this a lot of information over my life, but once I started reporting the recent sighting I thought I never say or report anything. I thought I would get all this off my chest. Thanks for letting me ramble.

A glowing craft of red light moved slowly across the sky at low altitude (below the clouds) from the south to the north just west of Union, Mo. When the craft passed our house with no sound. It continued north for a very short time, then it disappeared. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD
