Light over Cuba, MO

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

The report, as filed

I am a frequent stargazer. I was observing: a satellite, planet, and the harvest moon also i was trying to determine what planet it could possibly be. As I was looking a small "light" like a plane came across the sky in our atmosphere moving faster than any jet i have seen. Vanishing off in the horizon. It didn't have a tail. I was looking in an empty space with no one visible outside. It looked fairly high up but difficult to say how high because it was moving extremely fast. I can honestly say I never seen anything even close to this in my life

Cuba, MO

This is the 4th time I have seen a light appear in this exact same area. A bright light suddenly appears, stays there for a few min then vanishes from sight. It has appeared at the same time, in the same spot 4 different times. The light stays in the sky for a few min and then vanishes. The object was a light yellow color and almost had a glow about it. It was at least 10 times bigger than a star in the sky.
