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.

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.

Large Panther-like Cat Morphs into a House Cat

On August 6, 2022 while in Cape Girardeau, Missouri for a conference at the Drury Inn Hotel and Conference Center, Debbie Ziegelmeyer and I saw a very large black cat which was too big to be a house cat. It was about the size of a large bobcat and it had a head like a panther. I even thought it might have been a juvenile panther. We were driving into the parking lot of the hotel after going to a party hosted by the conference promoters, and no one else was around at the time. It was approximately 11:30 pm. 

The creature walked very strangely, especially with its back legs which seemed more mechanical. It walked slowly and deliberately and did not seem to be afraid of my vehicle. Neither of us could figure out what we were looking at, and thought that it was extremely bizarre.

We drove closer to get a better look at it as it walked across the lot, and it then morphed into a regular house cat and got smaller. Debbie said "What the heck is going on?" I wsh I had gotten a photo, but this photo of a black panther is the closest thing to what we saw, only much smaller. We both saw it change into a smaller regular size house cat, so this indicates that something supernatural was going on.

Note: According to the Missouri Department of Conservation there are not supposed to be any black panthers in Missouri.

Sasquatch Attacks Missouri Cabin in 1999

If there is any question about Sasquatch living in Missouri this account should clear that up. 

Frank Weston reported this sighting to Quest Investigation Group last week. He and his two hunting buddies spent the weekend at his dad's old one-room 1940s cabin on 20 acres in a rural area in southeast Missouri every year in November during deer season. The year was 1999 and it was at least the 10th time Frank had been to the cabin, even though he got the creeps every time he visited. 

"I can't explain it - it just felt like we were being watched when we went there. It was just a creepy feeling every time," Frank said.

The area is very rural with woods all around and no other cabins or houses within at least 20 miles. A state forest surrounds the cabin. Then one day in 1999 Frank and his buddies finally found out exactly why they felt uncomfortable in the cabin. 

Frank said, "The first day we arrived at the cabin all of us remarked how spooky the place still was, even in daylight. I drove my jeep because it is all gravel roads in this area. We put our stuff away and fixed dinner, then went to bed early since the plan was to get up early the next morning and head out to the deer stand in the woods. A few minutes later we heard heavy footsteps walking around the back part of the cabin, then they went around the side to the front. The three of us were in our cots and one of the guys whispered "Do you hear that?" We all heard it. I grabbed my rifle. Then we heard scratching on the window. I knew that whatever it was, it was big - not a deer or wolf or coyote. I got up and pulled back the curtain and to my shock there was a huge hairy dark brown Sasquatch standing there looking right back at me. I did not believe that these things existed - yet there it was! I jumped backwards and aimed my rifle at the window, and the other two guys got up and backed up towards the back of the room. They saw the Sasquatch, too. The creature had a huge head and upper body and looked like it was at least eight feet tall. The face looked very human and was without hair. There was no mistaking what it was - this was definitely a Squatch."

Then the creature walked around the side of the cabin towards the back and began to bang on the outside of the cabin. The three men turned and looked outside the windows, but stayed several feet back.  They heard Bang, Bang Bang! Then the creature began to slowly walk by, looking through the blinds in the windows. Then it finally quit. In the moonlight, they could all clearly see the huge beast walking across the back yard and disappear into the woods. 

"The strides on this thing were huge, much longer than any human could make," said Frank. The three went back to bed but none of them got any sleep for fear that the beast might come back. But it didn't. The men thought that as big as it was, the Sasquatch could easily have torn out the windows or doors and killed them all if it wanted to, but it didn't. Apparently, it just wanted to scare the men off. 

The next morning the three packed up and left without going hunting. They never returned to the cabin again. When asked if the men checked for footprints, Frank said that all they wanted to do was get out of there and did not think about checking for footprints at the time.
He said that he will not go back even with a crew of investigators, and he won't tell anyone exactly where the cabin is located so that people will stay away.

Two independent witnesses see a giant winged creature

01/31/20 Kansas City, Missouri. As she was driving north on Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri at 7:50 pm Marlene A. saw a gigantic dark flying bird that looked similar to a pterodactyl. It had a huge beak, long legs with feet, and a wingspan that would have been as wide as the street. The creature flapped its wings several times, then Marlene lost sight of it.

01/31/20 4:30 pm. Pat D. Saw an all black winged bird flying overhead as she drove on College at 119^th Street in Overland Park, Kansas. The bird was at treetop level and it was gliding. Pat said that it did not flap its wings and that it looked similar to a raven except much larger. She could not estimate the size, except to say that it was the largest bird she's ever seen. 

Could these two sightings have been related? The two locations are just a few miles apart. 

New giant bird sighting in KC makes number 19

Giant bird sighting report number 19 was received in my office on August 4, 2019. A man by the name of Alex was driving on 291 Highway in Independence, Missouri on Monday, July 29 at 5:00 pm when he noticed a very large bird circling high overhead. He pulled over to get a better look at the dark-colored creature because the size was so amazing. Alex said that it was similar to the shape of an Eagle, but way too large to be a bird of that type, and that it must have been something else. He was unable to get a photograph.

291 Highway is located on the east side of Independence, Missouri. Many similar reports have been made (see my articles posted earlier). 

UFO Investigators Encounter Sasquatch

A group of five seasoned UFO and Sasquatch investigators were working together on a case involving multiple UFO sightings near Union, Missouri in October of 2018 when they encountered something they weren't expecting.

The team was on a cove off of a river at approximately 9:00 p.m. when one they all heard the sound of a large tree limb being broken in half. The location of the sound was across the river in the woods. The area is surrounded by trees and deep woods and it is not all accessible by road. One of the investigators said that it may have been a Sasquatch letting know we are in their territory, as she couldn't imagine that a person was in the woods at that time, and there was no sign of a camp or fire, and no clearings in the area for a camp.

About 30 minutes later the entire group heard what can only be described as chattering coming from the same area across the river. Chattering is often associated with bigfoot and may be a means of communication.

Drawing by investigator JW

The group continued their UFO investigation using high-powered binoculars and night-vision binoculars. One team member viewed something walking in the woods through her night-vision binoculars at approximately 10:00 p.m., and she believes it was a Sasquatch. The location was on the same side of the river where the investigators were standing. She described the creature as being furry all over and light in color, although the night vision technology may have distorted the actual color. It was walking upright on two legs and she was able to see all of the creature from the knees up as it walked at a medium pace through the heavily wooded area. Since it was extremely dark outside, it is hard to conceive of a human walking that quickly through the woods, especially without a flashlight.

Taking everything into consideration, the team believes that there may be several Sasquatch in the area, which they plan to investigate further in the near future. The team prefers to remain anonymous at this time.

Sasquatch Shadow Sighting in Clinton, Missouri

A friend of mine living near Clinton, Missouri sent me some video footage that she obtained from her stealth camera. The camera is set up to view the back yard of her home right next to the detached garage. This is a rural area with a lot of acreage and woods, and many deer and other animals have been observed by my friend and her family and neighbors. Even wolves have been sighted at the tree line.

Two still shots from the video showing the full shadow on the ground and a shadow of the head on the bush to the left

This video was obtained a few days ago on the property. The night-vision camera is motion-activated so that it begins recording shortly after triggered. The witness slowed the video down because a shadow captured could not be observed easily without doing so. In the video a motion-activated light comes on, then the clear shadow of something walking by (apparently on two legs) can be seen on the ground and on a nearby tree. There is a very long shadow cast, which indicates something tall was there, and in the final frames it looks like a conical head shape shadow cast on a tree. We are going to test to see how tall the creature must have been in order to cast such a long shadow. It must have been moving very quickly as well and obviously had no problem walking on two legs.

It is the opinion of myself and my friend that the most likely candidate is a Sasquatch. It would not surprise me since we have had a number of Sasquatch sightings reported in Missouri in the past couple of years, and this location is a perfect spot for such a creature to live.

Strange Chupacabra-Like Creature Reported in Western Missouri

The Kansas City Chapter of Missouri MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) has received six reports of a chupacabra-like creature from different witnesses in western Missouri. Investigators request that witnesses to any unusual animals report their sighting to Missouri MUFON.

Each of the six sightings involved one to two witnesses who report seeing a similar animal which either sits on its haunches or walks. The front legs are shorter than the back legs, it has a long snout with fangs and short grey hair. Most witness report that the creature is approximately two feet tall when sitting, but two witnesses say the animals they saw were as large as a small deer.

One animal was spotted near Woods Chapel Road in Blue Springs near Lake Jacomo. It had mottled dark and light gray hair, a boxy large back end, and short front legs making the body shorter in the front than in the back. This particular animal was approximately 40" - 45" long and 28" high.

 A similarly sized creature was seen near Rich Hill Missouri in 2010 by two witnesses driving north on 49 highway. The creature ran across the road in front of the vehicle.

Two witnesses visiting a park at the Missouri river saw a small strange animal sitting on its hind legs in the middle of the road. It did not move and they needed to pull the car off the road to get around the creature. The creature was described as small, with short front legs which reminded the witnesses of a kangaroo, and with a long snout.

The sightings were reported in mid 2010 to August of 2015. All of the locations were in Independence, Blue Springs, Rich Hill, and Clinton, Missouri. No one has yet been able to obtain a photograph.

A call to the Missouri Department of Conservation yielded no explanation.

The reports of this chupacabra type creature come in the wake of a rash of Sasquatch sightings near a wooded area in Belton, Missouri and Independence, Missouri near the Missouri river, and an undisclosed location in Northeast Missouri. Missouri MUFON and other groups are investigating.

Missouri MUFON urges people to carry a camera and take a photo of anything unusual including UFO's and cryptid creatures. Missouri MUFON investigates UFOs, Sasquatch, cryptid creatures, animal mutilations and crop circles, and has trained investigators across the state.

From Wikipedia:Chupacabras can be literally translated as "goat-sucker", from chupar ("to suck") and cabra ("goat"). It is known as both chupacabras and chupacabra throughout the Americas, with the former being the original word,^[4] and the latter a regularization of it. The name in Spanish can be preceded by a singular masculine article (el chupacabras), or the plural masculine article (los chupacabras).

Nat Geo Wild produced a program on the topic in 2013. The show information is available at http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/the-monster-project/galleries/chupacabra/at/beware-the-chupacabra-2074274/ 

H2 the History Chanel aired a chupacabra episode on Monster Quest, available at http://www.history.com/shows/monsterquest/videos/chupacabra-evidence

Historic Bigfoot Sighting Reported

A woman from Elkton, Missouri, south of Warsaw called a few days ago to report an event that occurred at her childhood home 40 years ago (about 1975) when she was 14 years old. This is a small town in a rural area.

Her family had just finished dinner late one evening and her 10-year old brother was sent to take the trash out to the end of their driveway for pickup in the morning. It was dark outside but there was a bright moon. The family heard the young boy scream and they all went out to investigate to see what was wrong. They found the boy lying on the ground unconscious. When he came to he said he was carrying the trash and when he got about halfway down the driveway he saw a 7 - 8' tall bigfoot standing just 10' away from him. The two stood staring at each other for a minute, but then the boy must have passed out. The young man had not been exposed to reports of bigfoot and thought it was a giant ape and was extremely frightened.

The next morning the four children went out looking for evidence and found several very large footprints. They ran to get their parents, who took a casting of one of the prints with plaster of Paris. The witness, who is part Cherokee, is going to try to find the cast and send it to me.
