2000 Triangle UFO Sighting in Missouri

In 2012, I was assigned a MUFON UFO sighting case by an 80-year-old witness who reported a sighting he had on January 5, 2000. Amazingly, it was related to the high-profile case in Illinois which received much media coverage, but until 2012 no one knew that the case actually included the area near Union, Missouri. 

The witness, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that he retired from Law Enforcement after 10 years. He then moved into State Government work for 28 years. After retirement he stepped back into Government work as a consultant. He worked as a Volunteer Asst. Fire Chief for 24 years and was also a member of the Arson squad in a county in Missouri.

On Jan. 5, 2000, the witness was at a nearby township investigating a house fire. At around 3:00 a.m. he walked back to his truck to clean off all the dirt from his boots and turn out gear. He started listening to the two-way radio in his truck and heard radio traffic from the Illinois area. The Illinois County. dispatcher was talking to some police about an unidentified object heading for the St. Louis area.

After about a half hour, the witness headed home on I-44. That's when he picked up the local county dispatcher talking to a Union, MO Police Officer about a large object over Highway. 50 & Highway 47.  He immediately turned down Highway 47 towards Union, MO. As he came over the hill into town, he saw three white lights in the sky about 75-100 feet. apart from each other. In between the round white lights there were multicolored-color lights scrolling back and forth from left to right and back again.

He came down the hill and pulled up behind two Police Officers parked on the side of the road, assuming that they were observing the object as well. 

He could see a very large black triangle-shaped craft with more lights on the bottom of the craft. There was one very bright white light in each corner and one red light in the center towards the back of the craft. The white lights were beaming straight down. The red light was blinking on and off like a radio tower light. He got out of his truck and started walking up to the Police Officers. One officer was from the City of Union, MO the other was a Franklin County. Deputy. Just as he got up to them the craft started to move off to the northeast at a very fast running speed. The two officers got in their respective cars and started to chase the craft.

The officers were using their overhead red lights and the witness caught up to them. The craft had stopped about a mile up the road. He got out of his truck and walked up to the officers and all three men watched the object. As they were watching, the bright spotlight type lights in each corner came down to about 100 feet from the ground and stopped. No light beam touched the ground. They watched the craft for about 10 minutes, then the craft moved again. This time it traveled only about a mile and stopped again. After stopping and getting out to talk with officers once again, he noticed the County officer was trying to talk to the dispatcher by two-way radio. The witness had a portable two-way radio with him and could not pick-up any radio traffic from the County or the officer in front of him. He assumed that the craft affected the radios somehow. The county officer tried to set his dash camera in the up direction towards the craft, but it was bolted and would not turn. The officers had no other cameras with them and were unable to take photos.

The witness said that the craft was directly overhead and about 500 ft.in altitude. The craft was also the width of a football field. The sides in some parts of the craft where about 10-feet. at the corners and moved up to about 20-feet. in the center, making it curved on top and flat across the bottom. As this craft moved again, all radio traffic returned to normal. They could again hear the dispatcher in Illinois.

As the craft moved off for the third time, the County officer looked at both of the other witnesses and said, 
"I have another call pending," got back into his car and drove off, then Union officer said that he was too far out of the city limits. He said, "I don't see a thing," then got back in his car, turned around on old Highway 100 and inexplicably drove off. The witness watched the craft move off until he could not see the lights any longer. It was moving cross country and there were only private roads & driveways. He got back into his truck and drove home, perplexed not only at what he saw and the fact that two officers left the scene.

The witness said that he waited for weeks to see this story in the newspaper or on the TV news, but no one filed a report. Due to the fact that he didn't have a Police report to fall back on, he decided not to talk to anyone about this sighting. Now that he is retired and he keeps hearing reports of triangle UFOs in Missouri, he thought he would bring this story to light in order to help investigators in the future.

This report gives us a more complete understanding of the 2000 Triangle sighting.

Un-X News: UTAH US HOUSE CANDIDATE “GOES FULL UFO”

Live today at 5 pm Central time, or watch anytime!

Joseph G. Buchman (Joe), an Unaffiliated Candidate for US HOUSE in Utah’s CD2 Special Election, responding to claims of being a “tin-foil hat wearing nutcase” responds:

 

“The reactions to our recent texting campaign, calling for increased protection of witnesses and whistleblowers on the UFO/UAP/ET issue, have been extreme.  From, “YES! I have a friend with an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) who refuses to talk about UFOs” to “that’s crazy talk” and worse (most of those include profanity.”

 

Buchman’s campaign site, www.UtahJoe.vote focuses on the UFO/UAP issue, including demands for those with evidence contact with ETs or their technology be freed from any NDAs that illegally prohibit their ability to testify to Congress and the Media.

 

While this seems an extreme position for a candidate in CD2, Buchman is joined by current Senate majority leader Schumer and others.

 

See: https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/4097653-senators-to-offer-amendment-to-require-government-to-make-ufo-records-public/

 

According to Schumer,

 

“We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public”.

 

Schumer is joined by a bipartisan group of Senators, including: Mike Rounds (R-SD), Marco Rubio (R-FL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Todd Young (R-IN) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

 

Buchman has raised this issue in two previous campaigns for the US House beginning with his first in 2008.  See:

 

https://www.parkrecord.com/news/immigration-taxes-and-little-green-men

 

https://www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/Press_Releases/X-Conference_NPC_4-21-08_Press_Releases.htm

 

He also raised it in Utah’s last special election in 2017 where he was the Libertarian Party’s nominee, as he was in 2008 and several other campaigns – most recently for Utah Treasurer.  In that campaign Buchman received 10 percent of the vote, from just under 100,000 Utahns.

 

Buchman holds a PhD from Indiana University and an MBA from Purdue University.  From 1993 to 2001 he was a member of the faculty of UVSC (now UVU) where he was a whistleblower on fraud in new degree program proposals.  Whistleblowing by Buchman on that issue resulted in a freeze on all new degree program proposals at that time.  Details can be found on his website under the Whistleblowing page at:

 

https://www.utahjoe.vote/whistleblowing

 

Buchman is also working with Congressman Curtis’s office to have the Boy Scout Memorial on the Washington Mall removed and/or replaced (that statue incredibly depicts a naked adult male directly behind a small uniformed Boy Scout).  Additional information is likewise available on the above page.

 

Despite not being the Libertarian Party candidate in this race (Buchman is running Unaffiliated), he has received endorsements from several prominent other libertarians, including multiple past LNC Chairs and former Executive Directors of the party.

 

See: https://www.utahjoe.vote/endorsements

 

Yesterday the campaign sent out over 50,000 text messages to targeted groups: Libertarians, Unaffiliateds, and those living near the Dugway Proving Grounds, and others.  Those text messages can be found below.

 

Buchman’s candidate statement in the Utah Voter Guide published by the Governor’s office can also be found below.

 

Buchman is also the author of the Forward to a book about the Roswell UFO Crash in which he describes his 2008 and 2017 Congressional runs. That Forward can be found here:

https://www.amazon.com/Roswell-Ultimate-Eyewitness-Testimony-Evidence/dp/163265170X/?asin=163265170X&revisionId=&format=4&depth=1

 

States Buchman: “I realize that what I have said in those texts, in the Voter Guide, in the Roswell book, and in past media interviews is “OUT THERE,” maybe even “way out there,” but as I said at the end of my first debate with now Congressman John Curtis (also included were Chris Herrod and Tanner Ainge) – “I believe what I have to say on this issue will be proven prescient.  I’m speaking to both current Utah voters, and my two granddaughters.  I believe they will live in a post-Disclosure world, and be proud of what their grandfather tried to do.”

Cryptid Creatures in Jackson County, Missouri

 

By Margie Kay

 
Most Cryptid sightings occur in the woods or countryside, but apparently, these creatures have invaded Independence and East Jackson County, Missouri in recent years. I’ve received reports from several people, and even had my own encounters in this area, including a sighting just four weeks ago. The questions are where are these creatures living, what is their food source, and why aren’t more people seeing or reporting them?

CHUPACABRA

A woman who wishes to remain anonymous sent the following to me via email: “My BFF saw a cryptid cross over Little Blue Parkway not far from Centerpoint Hospital. This is what she wrote about it: "It walked on both - two and four legs. Some people call it a chupacabra.”

She goes on to say, “My son and his friend saw one in Odessa, Missouri over by the lake near our old house. They said it crawled on all fours and then stood up on two legs and jumped over the fence. It had spikes along the back and large fangs.They both thought they saw a demon. Scared them terribly. My son doesn't like to talk about it." There was an article about this sighting in Missouri Conservationist, which explained that the creature must have been a coyote with mange, but the witness said, “Coyotes don’t stand up on two hind legs.”

WRAITH

Four weeks ago, I had my own sighting of a strange creature while driving south on Crysler just past Truman Road in Independence after dark. A creepy-looking thin man wearing a hoodie crouched down on all fours and crawled across the road, then suddenly, he flew backward through the air to the middle of the road in a second and crawled once again to the other side.

This happened a third time, and finally, as I was driving past, he stood up. I could not see his face, but his arms were unusually long. I kept driving as I knew that this was not a normal human being. It was as if a movie played back three times. I couldn't believe what I was seeing and still don't today. 

GIANT DOG

In the fall of 2012, my daughter and her husband were driving westbound on 23^rd Street near Spot Not car wash in Independence when they saw something running towards them in the other lane. It looked like a white cloud shaped like a dog as tall as the roof of their car and as long as the car. It ran like a dog on all fours and ran past their vehicle. The couple looked in the mirrors and turned around to look out the back window, but the creature was no longer visible. My daughter said that the creature looked like a monstrous Borzoi, a large Russian Sighthound. She still can't believe what she saw. 

LARGE BLACK CATS

From 2009 to 2023 I received several reports of a very large panther-sized black cat in Raytown, Missouri, which is just south of Independence. One witness said she was sitting on her front porch and noticed that the neighbor's across the street had a new large black cat ornament in their yard - until it walked away. She got up and went back in the house and won't sit outside any longer. 

Other people witnessed a large black cat that they saw walking, then dissolve into thin air. 

A man who lives near 63rd Street said he saw a huge black cat running across the busy street late at night. He called the Missouri Department of Conservation, and they told him that there couldn't be any panthers in that area. As far as he knows, they did not investigate. 

Is it possible that a real black panther is living in Raytown or is this a supernatural creature? 

These sightings, combined with the large cryptid winged creatures, Sasquatch, and pterodactyls that have been seen in the area are concerning. (See my previous posts) Does East Jackson County have a portal to another dimension that is allowing these types of creatures to come and go at will?  This needs further investigation.

Spooklights in Independence, Missouri

Rendering of lights in Independence, MO by Margie Kay

Several areas across the United States are known for Spook lights, with the Joplin Spook Light and the Marfa Lights in Texas being the most popular, however, several lesser-known sites have consistent reports of unexplained lights, and Independence, Missouri is one of those places. 

Last October, I was outside at around midnight when I noticed two dull circular lights slowly come into view across the RR tracks about 100 feet behind my house. They were in front of trees, and they were not well-defined circles, with amorphous edges and a white/blue hue. These lights did not fit into the category of house lights, flashlights or anything I am familiar with. There was no beam projecting them. After watching these objects for a few minutes they slowly began to move downward, towards the tracks, which were about 20 feet below. Then the moved down the tracks to the east and out of sight. 

On June 6, 2023, the lights reappeared in nearly the same place they did previously and again at midnight. I checked the lights on houses across the tracks, and also on my side and could not find a source. I contemplated going inside to get my cell phone, but the objects would have been gone by the time I returned. 

Strange phenomena have occurred on these tracks for years, including two sightings of an old-time ghost train, complete with smoke billowing out of the stack. I was lucky enough to see one of those trains, which then disappeared as if through a portal. The railroad cut and tracks were installed during the Civil War, and not a mile from this location was a Civil War battle, across the cut. At one house near the cut, the owners complain of ghostly apparitions and poltergeist activity.

Perhaps these eerie lights are spirits from a bygone era.

New Google Map Shows Cryptid Sightings in Missouri and Surrounding States

A new Google map called Cryptid Sightings in Missouri and Neighboring states shows a record of cryptid sightings in Missouri and surrounding states. This is a work in progress. If you have a sighting or evidence of bigfoot such as bent trees, strange huts, footprints, or sounds to report, please send it to margiekay06@yahoo.com with as much detail of the sighting as possible. 

Other groups do not include all sightings, so this project is attempting to include all reports of cryptids to fill in the gaps.

What Giant Bird is at Blue Springs Lake?

A new report just came in from three witnesses who saw a gigantic bird at Blue Springs Lake (also near Lake Jacomo) in Blue Springs, Missouri. A mother and two of her grown children were driving in the area and saw a huge bird fly overhead, over trees, then swoop up and over a hill. They said that the bird was a dark brown color and did not resemble an eagle or hawk and that the wingspan was a minimum of 10' wide.

The three witnesses checked www.whatbird.com to see if they could find the bird that they saw and could find no match.

Other reports have been received of very large birds in Missouri with wing spans up to 30'.  These other reports have been from Independence, Missouri, south of St. Louis in a rural area near the Missouri River bluffs, and another in Blue Springs. In all cases, the birds have been seen near water.

New method to capture ETs on Camera?

By Margie Kay

On February 5, 2023, I went to bed at 11:00 pm and noticed a bright white light flash outside and show through the top of the drapes in my bedroom. I pulled the drapes open and looked outside but saw nothing. The light was out by the time I looked outside. Early the next morning, at approximately 5:25 AM my husband’s phone made a loud alert sound which may have been the earthquake in Turkey. He had forgotten to put it in the kitchen the night before where he charges it up, so I took the phone into the kitchen and plugged it in. At that moment I felt as if something was not right, and that there was a presence in the house or outside the house. I started looking outside windows and around the house when I suddenly had the idea that I needed to check my MADAR unit. I’ve never done that before.

MADAR stands for Multiple Anomaly Detection & Automated Recording, and the project was created and is headed by Fran Ridge at NICAP. MADAR is the first detection and recording system for anomalies in the geomagnetic field and background radiation. MADAR detects UFOs in the area. There are units all over the world.

I looked at my MADAR unit and the light came on. I knew then that a UFO was near my house and began going around to look out the windows and doors. I could see nothing, however, when I waked to the dining room towards the sliding glass doors, I saw two bright white flashes of light on the wall next to the stairs. I turned to look back at the kitchen which is where I thought the source of light must have come from but could see nothing that would have caused the lights. As I turned to pull the drapes back on the doors to look outside, I heard a grunt sound approximately two feet behind me and about 6’ off the floor. I quickly turned on the light and swung around but could see nothing. However, I could sense that something was there. Needless to say, I got no sleep the rest of the morning.

The next day I asked James Bair, the Chief MADAR Analyst for Missouri MUFON to check the records on my node 45 unit, and he found that there were three alerts at 5:33 AM on February 6 – which is the exact same time that all of this was going on! I believe that not only was a UFO over my house but one of the occupants was inside my house!

After telling James about this incident, he related one of his own, and he may have gotten proof of something other-worldly inside his house. On November 18 and 19, 2022, strange things occurred inside his house. Objects moved on their own, he heard noises during the night, and channels changed on their own on the TV. This was not normal, and James sensed that there was a presence in the house. MADAR alerts were recorded on both days in the late afternoon on his node 40 unit, indicating that there was a UFO nearby. 

On November 21, 2022, at 8:15 pm. James again felt a presence, so he thought he’d try his new SLS (Structured Light Sensor Camera) app on his phone to see if it could capture anything. He had not set the date on the app yet, so it shows the wrong date and time in the video. But it does show something with a body, head, arms and legs sitting and moving near where he was sitting. The SLS camera or app is commonly used in ghost hunting to detect spirit forms during paranormal investigations, but it may have a new use as an Extraterrestrial detecting device.

Watch the video: 

Please try this method the next time you sense an ET inside or outside your house. A combination of MADAR and SLS camera would likely be the best method. Let me know if it works for you!

ls Meramec State Park Haunted by Spirits Past?

By Pat Aman

Photo: Mermec State Park

Meramec State Park is a beautiful area in Franklin County Missouri. It's about 60 miles southwest of St. Louis off Highway 44 near Sullivan Missouri. The Meramec River flows beautifully through this magnificent, forested area and provides everything for people from fishing and floating to just being able to sit and enjoy the lovely views. The bluffs along some stretches of the river have a lot of limestone. I mention this because limestone seems to be connected to some of paranormal cases.

Photo: Mermec State Park

The Park has about 11 cabins that were built during the Great Depression in the 1930's. President Franklin Roosevelt established the CCC, the Civilian Conservation Corp, to create jobs to help people get back to work.  During this time, a lot of young men were hired to build structures in state and national parks, and then they also lived in these cabins. Today, these dwellings can be rented by the public. There's no Wi-fi, TV, radio etc. These awesome cabins are fully furnished with not just furniture, but linens, appliances, etc.....just like home.   

It's known, by some of us, that this area has had and can still have unexplained things occur. While enjoying our "cabining" experiences (we don't go "camping", but we do go "cabining"), we've had paranormal experiences in a couple of the cabins. In 2014, my husband, my brother, his wife and I were staying in one of these homes away from home when this incident happened.  

 There are times when out of the blue something in my head says, "Take a picture of this."  When I listen to that inner voice, I usually end up with pictures that create questions, but have no answers.

Photo 1

The 'voice' I heard this one particular day, told me to take a picture of the cabin's kitchen door. That's a strange subject for a picture, but I did what my little voice told me to do.  When I looked at the picture on my camera, it had turned out very blurry (picture 1). To see if I had a problem with my camera, while standing in the same spot I turned to the right and took a picture of flowers that were on the kitchen table (picture 2). This picture, as you can see, came out perfectly clear.

Photo 2

Picture 3

I then turned back to the door, took another picture and THAT picture came out blurry like the first picture did (picture 3).

My sister-in-law was in the living room, and I called her over and showed her what was happening on the pictures. While we were standing there discussing this odd occurrence, at the same time we both sort of shivered, looked at each other and said "WHOA!"  We had been startled by a very cold breeze that had gone THROUGH both of us!  At the same time, we both blurted out "did you feel that?".  Laughing and sort of in shock, we couldn't believe what had just happened.

Picture 4

After that happened, I decided, for whatever reason, to take another picture of the door. That picture came out nice and clear as you can see in picture 4. 

Other experiences while staying in cabins:

• We've heard, faintly, a radio playing old songs from the 30's/40's. 

• Another time, three of us were in the living room having a conversation.  We were interrupted when we heard moans coming from an empty corner of the room.  
  
  
• We woke up one morning and walked into the living room area and saw small, bare footprints in a row on the cushion of the futon. It looked like maybe a child had walked on it. No children were with us. I don't understand or try to explain what happened at those times, but they were great paranormal experiences.

Gargoyles in the bedroom

 By Robert S Urbanek

Mausoleum for Queen Louise-Marie;
 Sint-Petrus-en-Pauluskerk; Ostend, Belgium gargoyle
 Georges Jansoone 

I had been aggravated for several months by noise from a neighbor. On October 14, 2020, a boisterous backyard gathering dispersed shortly after 10 p.m. but my anxiety kept me awake until about 4 a.m.

At approximately 5:15 a.m. I was awakened by a light. To my left, what had been a shuttered window was now a blank wall softly lit with a slight yellowish tinge, as if illuminated by candlelight. Then, near the top of the wall, appeared the living head of a monster, like a cathedral gargoyle. The beastly head was replaced by another after a couple of seconds, then followed by another. This happened five or six times. One head had glowing eyes. Another appeared to be a cross between a man and a lion. Then the heads disappeared.

I turned to my right to turn on a light and make notes. When I looked back, the shuttered windows had returned.

While this vision might be related to my anxiety, this seemed to be a spectacular display for something as mundane as a noisy neighbor. Perhaps the event released demons from my subconscious. Did I purge beasts from my mind only to release them into the world? I looked up gargoyles on Wikipedia. One section noted “gargoyles are said to protect what they guard, such as a church, from any evil or harmful spirits” but another passage said, “The primary use of the gargoyle was to illustrate evil through the form of the gargoyle.”

One could argue that extreme stress had altered my brain chemistry so as to create an illusion, but since I had fallen asleep before the vision, I would think my brain would have returned to a more balanced state during the sleep period.

Two days after the vision, after another noisy and sleepless night, I went to the ER to request some sleep meds. I described my "hallucination." They took a blood panel (which came up fine), prescribed some sleep meds but did not take x-rays. The discharge nurse, after asking a few questions to determine my mental stability, suggested that I might be a shaman.

A few days later, I had a phone consultation with my internist, and he also did not suggest a brain scan. Fortunately, the next several days were peaceful and I slept much better, both with and without the pills.

After a few weeks, the neighbor moved away, and the new neighbor was much quieter.

This was not my first experience with a specter on the wall. On February 9, 2005. I was asleep in a different room in my house. I was awakened at about 2:15 a.m. by a bright light emanating from a clock on a dresser near the foot of my bed. To my right, next to the closet door, a portion of the wall glowed like a torch-lit cave. Stick figures on the wall bounced against each other, like men in hand-to-hand combat. 

To my left hung a Patrick Nagel serigraph depicting a larger-than-life head of a woman wearing sunglasses who had a stark white face and gray hair. I had purchased the print in 1985. But at this moment, the picture was solid black and bulging from the wall. To break this spell, I reached up and switched on the room light. The vision disappeared. I concluded that the dark power of the Nagel “goddess” was inciting the wall warriors to fight each other.
