COUSINS CLOSE ENCOUNTER NEAR SALEM MISSOURI

NOVEMBER 1991    ……..     SALEM MISSOURI AREA

November of 1991, the opening stages of what would become perhaps the most intense outbreaks of UFO sightings and related phenomena in southwestern and south-central Missouri were well underway.  The first mysterious livestock mutilations had already occurred and stories of everything from strange lights in the sky to close encounters with what seemed to be highly exotic aerial crafts were a frequent topic of discussion across the region.At approximately 10:15 that night Scott Freeman and his cousin were eastbound on Dent County Route H about five miles west of Salem when Scott’s cousin noticed what appeared to be an aircraft at low altitude and still descending as it approached the road from the left above a field.  Its path would take the craft over the roadway not far in front of them, but it was at this point that events took an abrupt turn into the unknown. Quoting from the initial email I received from Scott on Nov. 23, 2014:  “Believing that it was an airplane, we accelerated to approximately 90 miles per hour so as to pass under the plane as it crossed the highway (it seemed like the cool thing to do at the time). The object reached H Highway before our car had the chance to pass under it or even get close to it and, much to our dismay, the object came to a complete stop above H Highway. As our car came to a screeching halt, it slid up under the object and stalled out.”  In a later email answering a few questions I had posed to him, Scott expressed the opinion that the vehicle died As a result of the sudden stop, not from any form of electromagnetic interference from the UFO.  At this point any thoughts on their part of a conventional aircraft evaporated. They could clearly discern the triangular shape of the hovering craft, and by rolling down the windows were able to confirm its absolute silence. In place of the familiar navigation lights required by the FAA, there were three bright, round white lights on the underside. 

These shined spotlight-like beams directly down, illuminating the roadway as if it was high noon. Realizing they were clearly experiencing a close encounter with an unknown craft, the witnesses grew nervous.  It was at that point that perhaps the most unusual element of the sighting began. The craft performed a very unusual maneuver, one that I am not aware of being duplicated exactly among the thousands of UFO reports in my files.  “After sitting motionless above the highway for what I believe was approximately two or three minutes,” Scott wrote, “the craft began to slowly move diagonally from its original route and moved to a clearing in the open field that lay to the right of my car. The object moved just above the tree tops, almost brushing them as it passed over them, until it had reached an opening in the field.  “The object stopped again and then, much to our dismay, starts to turn onto its side and then slowly lower itself to the ground. So close to the ground, in fact, that I could see the silhouette of the field grass as the light from the lower of the two back lights shined through them.  After sitting at ground level for no longer than one minute, the object slowly left our side and made its way down the forest that rested to its immediate right. The object then leveled back out flat to the ground as it traveled and after flying about 300 yards, it ascended at a 30-degree angle. It flew up into the night sky, never to be seen again by my cousin or myself.”   They look good to me, but my artistic ability ends with using a ruler to draw a straight line. Again I wish to thank Scott for sending me the experience he shared with his cousin.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

POSSIBLE ALIEN ABDUCTION IN DOVER MISSOURI

ARTICLE  ABDUCTION DISC  WATER  27292829

NOVEMBER 1, 1995   …..   DOVER MISSOURI

A few months ago my fiance and I were watching a movie, I’m not sure what it was but there was a scene in the movie with a UFO. We got into a conversation about it and she asked me if I had ever seen a UFO. I proceeded to tell her the same story that I’m about to tell you that I had never told anybody because to be quite honest. As I was telling her the story, memories were coming to me that I had completely put in the back of my mind.  In 1995 I lived in a small town called Dover, Missouri, about 60 miles east from Kansas City. I was living with a girlfriend at the time and her brother. My girlfriend worked the night shift so I would stay up late at night and wait for her to get home in the morning. For some reason we decided to go to Concordia Missouri to a truck stop for coffee. The truck stop was about 25 to 30 miles away from where we were.  My girlfriend’s brother was driving his car and I was riding in the passenger seat. We left the house about 12:30 or 1 o’clock in the morning, and proceeded to drive east on Highway 24 leaving Dover towards the exit to go to Concordia. My girlfriend’s brother had some god awful rap music playing in the car and I was looking out the window watching for deer. As I am looking out the window he is talking but I’m really not paying attention to what he is saying because I see a bright light about a mile ahead 200 feet off the ground ahead of us. I was able to gauge the distance because I could see beyond the water tower that I was familiar with at an orchard on 24 Highway. I could clearly make out the red light was flashing on top of the water tower, and this light appeared to be just off to the side of it and above it. I watched the light for about a minute or two and I asked him if he saw what I saw. I can only describe it as a ball of light that changed colors. As we got closer I noticed that it was not moving it was stationary side by side with the light on top of the water tower. Keep in mind this water tower is in the middle of nowhere there are no buildings around for at least 15 to 20 miles besides the barn that was on the opposite side of the road and is about half the height of the water tower. I remember telling him its not moving its not moving.  We stopped the car to get out and look at it and it started to move. This is the point of the story where my fiance asked me what happened next and to be honest until she asked me that question, I never thought about it, and I do not remember what happened next. My next memory is turning south onto the side road off of 24 and I’m not sure but I believe that it was much later when we arrived at the truck stop around 3 a.m. but it seemed perfectly normal to us at the time and remained that way until the night I was with my fiance 19 years later. As I have thought about it more the last month or so I remember flashes of images but I do not trust the images are accurate because as I said, I’m not sure what happened.

STATE TROOPER SPOTS UFO TRIANGLE OVER MISSOURI

ARTICLE  TRIANGLE 8376

AUGUST 2014  …..   JASPER AND NEWTON COUNTY MISSOURI

 During a period spanning just over two weeks in early to mid-August of 2014, three UFO sightings were reported from Jasper County and adjoining areas of its neighbor to the south, Newton County.   In this column and in the near future, my intention is to inform my readers on all three of them. (My personal investigation into one incident of the trio is still in progress, and additional information on the other two may also be obtained.)  The first occurred at 5:12 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 2, and the lone witness was a Missouri State Trooper driving north on Rangeline Road in the course of routine patrol.  (Margie Kay, the Mutual UFO Network assistant state director, who had interviewed him, provided a transcript which was then posted on the UFO Casebook website, one of the best.)  The officer first observed an unusual light in the northeastern sky, not far above the horizon. His first thought was that he was seeing a helicopter, since it was obviously too low to be a fixed wing aircraft.  Then as it got closer, he was able to make out a triangular or teardrop-shaped craft with illuminated windows in the upper portion, through which he could see indistinct movement that he assumed to be passengers or crew members.  The craft was estimated to be in excess of 100-feet in width and perhaps a fourth of that in height. At its nearest point to the witness, a distance of approximately 50 feet, red and yellow lights of various sizes were noted on the underside and a low hum could be heard emanating from the UFO.  There was also evidence of a minor electromagnetic effect occurring at the moment the odd craft abruptly pivoted to fly off back to the east (at an undescribed speed) until it was no longer visible.  At the moment the UFO performed its 180-degree rotation there was an approximate 15 second burst of static from the car’s radio. Adding to the mystery was the fact that the patrol car was stationary in the roadway after the object departed, although he did not remember stopping or even intending to do so, and the encounter had not seemed to last for 15 minutes as the vehicle’s clock indicated.  (Before we take off into any wild speculation based on these seeming discrepancies, it should be noted that the excitement of the encounter at such close range could have easily been the culprit.)  Finally, in an element that is often reported in such cases, the trooper watched a jet come from the east, making a wide looping curve to the north before returning to the east. If it was not searching for the unknown craft, its presence and maneuvers were quite a coincidence.  The investigation into this potentially important encounter is ongoing. MUFON is still delving into it, and I have put out “feelers” to some of my own reliable sources in the area in an effort to not only learn more about the trooper’s experience but to possibly locate other possible corroborating witnesses.

 Less than two weeks after this undoubtedly unnerving encounter, a more typical event took place in the community of Sarcoxie, a relatively short distance southwest of the earlier sighting.  The lone witness (gender not specified) had brought their dog outside and noticed a bright white light in the east-southeastern sky. It continued to grow in size until it reached the point of appearing as a luminous white sphere approximately one quarter the angular size of a full moon.  (The witness’ wording seemed to indicate uncertainty as to whether the orb actually increased in physical size or simply appeared to from the object coming closer.)  After moving a short distance to the south, the UFO reversed the process and became smaller and smaller until it was no longer visible. The entire incident had transpired in about one minute.  NOTE: The above image is a rendering
