Mothman Shadows in Missouri

Recently, a friend asked me if there had been any Mothman sightings in Missouri as of late, and I told her that it had been unusually quiet. I spoke too soon, because a few days later two separate incidences occurred, and one was my own. 

Incident #1: I spoke with Tony Degn this past weekend. Tony is a paranormal, Mothman, and UFO experiencer, and has had many encounters with strange phenomena. I wrote about his Mothman encounters in my book "Winged Aliens." Tony told me that while he was driving on a highway in Branson, Missouri in July, 2022, he saw a huge shadow of what he identified as a Mothman, fly across the highway in front of him in broad daylight. Tony said that the shadow of the outstretched wings measured the width of the highway across two lanes in front of him. He attempted to look out the windshield of his vehicle but could see nothing. Tony just chalked this up as him being followed by this creature yet again. It seems to follow him no matter where he is.

Incident #2: On Thursday, August 4, 2022 fellow investigator Jean Walker and I headed from Kansas City to Cape Girardeau, Missouri where I spoke at a conference. It should be noted that Jean and I often have very strange things happen when we are together, and we discuss this in our presentation "Two Women and a Map," which we plan to put into a book. 

As I drove my SUV on I-70 highway, halfway between Columbia and St. Louis, my cruise control suddenly caused the vehicle to speed up very quickly. It got to ninety-five miles per hour before I could step on the brake to slow down. Just at that moment, Jean saw a huge shadow of a winged creature which took up half of our lane plus the shoulder all the way to the grass. That distance is approximately 10 - 15 feet. Keep in mind that this was in daylight. Jean tried to see what it was but could see nothing, but she was also concerned about the vehicle. As the vehicle slowed it began to shake violently and the engine light came on. I immediately pulled off the nearby exit and stopped at the one and only structure at that exit, and thankfully it was a gas station. We let the car cool down and I got some gas, then started it up again and it seemed to be fine. I did not reengage the cruise control just in case. Jean pointed out that at the exact same time my SUV started acting up the shadow of the gigantic bird (or whatever it was) appeared right over the vehicle. We both thought that was extremely strange. 

We have all seen shadows of birds flying across the highway, and know what a hawk shadow looks like, but a 10' - 15' shadow is enormous in comparison. We can only guess at what these recent shadows were, but given our past history, I would say that Mothman is the top contender. If it is an inter-dimensional creature, which I suspect it is, is it possible that only its shadow appears during the day? Surely, someone else driving on either side of the road would notice such a large, winged creature and file a report somewhere! We can only hope that another traveler saw whatever made those gigantic shadows in both cases,
and even better, caught it on film. But I' not holding my breath.

WASHINGTON NAMED OFFICIAL UFO CAPITAL IN THE U.S.

If you want to see a UFO, live in Washington. Newly published research ranks the state first in number of sightings, with more than 88 per 100,000 residents. The analysts at journoresearch.org (http://journoresearch.org) reached this conclusion after obtaining data from Peter Davenport’s National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) between January 2000 and December 2021.

Journoresearch.org said in its press release, “Washington is home to what is often regarded as the first UFO sighting of the modern age, which marked its 75^th anniversary in June this year. On June 24, 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold claimed to have seen a string of nine shiny objects flying past Mount Rainier at impossibly high speeds during his flight from Chehalis to Yakima.”

Although the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database was not included in the analysts’ calculations, Washington MUFON receives and investigates more than 200 sighting reports annually. According to Maurene Morgan, Washington MUFON State Director, approximately 20%-30% are given the disposition of Unknown by MUFON’s team of certified UFO Field Investigators. Morgan states that the number of sighting reports in Washington consistently places it in the top four or five states in the national organization. She believes that the number of sighting reports will continue to increase every year as the UFO taboo lessens.

Because of footage of unexplained aerial phenomenon (UAP) captured by high-ranking jet fighter pilots, UFOs are being taken more seriously than ever before. Mike Gallagher, U.S. Representative from Wisconsin, has stated that funding is needed to study UFOs. “What is crazy is that presenting this kind of data 10 years ago might have been a concern, but now it seems that politicians and scientists are looking at the data a lot closer.”

Anyone wishing to submit a sighting report to the National UFO Reporting Center can do so online at nuforc.com, by calling the center’s hotline at 206-722-3000 (generally reserved for recent reports), or by emailing director@ufocenter.com.

Those wishing to report a sighting in Washington State can do so online at mufon.com, or by calling 360-670-4213, or emailing mufon.investigates@gmail.com. Dan Nims, Washington MUFON Chief Investigator and Director of Eastern Region, welcomes reports of events occurring east of the Cascades. Contact Dan at 509-301-9350 or email nimsdf@charter.net.

Strange Swirling Light In Oklahoma Leaves Witnesses Baffled

Small object (left) that was ejected by the larger object (center) Photo Lloyd Morrison

Deborah and Lloyd Morrison of Norman, Oklahoma captured photos of two strange objects in the sky during a fireworks display on July 4, 2022. 

According to Lloyd, the couple was watching a fireworks display at the time. "We saw it around 10:20 pm. It started out with the light in the center, then three seconds later the light to the lower left flew out of the spiraling green light, and the small light then flew away and out of sight. Then the spiral started spinning, and that lasted about one minute, then it unraveled and disappeared." The couple noted that no one else around them seemed to notice the light with concentric circles around it.

The Morrison's have experienced a lot of strange phenomena on their former property in the past few years. They've seen multiple UAPs, a ghost that walks on a path behind their house, and even small fairies in their back yard. Investigators have concluded that there was indeed something unexplained going on at their home. However, this recent sighting occurred at their new home. 

The couple watched the objects for approximately seven to eight minutes. The object appears in several photos as fireworks are going off, and it moves to different positions. This seems to rule out any chance that it could have been a firework.

The couple plans to file a report with MUFON at mufon.com.

Mysterious UAPs Observed in Sibley, Missouri

Multiple UAPs were recently seen by several witnesses in Sibley, Missouri, East of Independence. 

This occurred on the evening of June 29, 2022 while several family members were sitting outside on the patio visiting with each other. One man noticed movement in the sky, and the four men then stood up to watch the spectacle before them. The objects were white lights that appeared to be larger than planets. They moved very quickly, stopped, then darted about the sky, moving in all directions at very high rates of speed, unlike conventional aircraft. There was no sound. After several minutes, the lights disappeared. 

The witnesses ruled out planes, helicopters, and drones. 

Sibley is a village in Jackson County, Missouri, United States. The population was 357 at the 2010 census. It is known as the home of Fort Osage National Historic Landmark. It is part of the Kansas City metropolitan area. The town is located very close to the Missouri River, where multiple UAP sightings have been reported.

Unfortunately, no video was taken by the witnesses.

Missouri is a known UFO/UAP hotspot, and is consistently in the top 10 for UFO sightings nationwide. Investigators suspect that the rivers have something to do with the number of sightings.

Another Disappearing Crane Incident in Oklahoma

 

Joey "UFO Magnet" George was out by the levee in West Tulsa on Saturday, April 9, 2022 when he encountered a large crane which disappeared into thin air. This marked the fifth such incident Joey experienced.

                                     Arkansas Riverbank: Photo Joey George

Joey says, “I hiked down the Arkansas Riverbank about a quarter mile, packing my rock hammer and flint knapping tools, my binoculars, telescope, folding chair, a bright spotlight, & some chocolate chip cookies. I planned on harvesting some flint from the riverbank, as my supply for crafting arrowheads was almost completely diminished. I found a satisfactory point that offered a plethora of stones of all sorts, being birthed of the water & sand. I arrived later than expected, and soon the daylight gave way to pinks & oranges, which were quickly consumed by dark purples and blues, giving the Western sky a bruised appearance before being swallowed by darkness.

I retrieved the spotlight from my duffel bag to continue my search for flint. The battery was drained within 5 minutes, ending the hunt, and leaving me behind to the mercy of the darkness. This was the moment I had REALLY come here for, and I eagerly set up the telescope & dialed it in. Settling back in my lawn chair, binoculars around my neck, I opened the package of cookies and waited. Several planes & helicopters flew overhead throughout the two hours that I sat there by the river, sky watching.

With a clear view of the downtown Tulsa skyline in the distance, looking so tiny, that I could hold the whole city in the palm of my hand, I observed a few stars, the Moon, and a couple of distant lights that just faded out and were never seen again. All in all, it was a pretty uneventful night. I didn't find any flint, and the sky didn't offer much excitement other than a brilliant sunset. It was about 11 p.m. when I decided to start packing up to start the hike back to the truck. I was done with the night, but little did I know, the night was not done with ME! I was about to receive a visit from an old friend. For the bigger half of my life, I have had an unexplained relationship with birds. Having countless strange, some even impossible encounters! I was at this moment unaware, as I always was, that I was about to have what would be my 5th encounter with what has come to be called, "The Disappearing Crane."

As I finished stuffing everything back into the bag and slung it over my shoulder, I was startled by the sight of an enormous bird flying completely silent over the water, about 30 ft in front of me. I watched in amazement, taking in every detail of the bird’s grace as it silently glided through the darkness. It seemed impossible to me that something so HUGE & so CLOSE could move without making any sound! I pulled my green laser pointer out of my pocket. It had the kaleidoscope screw-on tip attached, that offered an elaborate design pattern when the attachment was turned. I aimed it in the giant bird's direction, trying to get its attention. I pressed the button a couple times, watching, never letting my eyes leave the dark silhouette the crane had become.

To my surprise, I watched the bird now getting larger, where it had been growing smaller, as it got further away. It was coming back towards me! Yes, it was coming straight in my direction, growing larger still! It had somehow changed direction without turning around!? This did not make any Earthly sense, but it was happening right before my eyes! It grew larger, closer still. Right as I thought to myself, "This creature is going to slam right into me!" It vanished & was gone, leaving behind just me, the night, and another fond memory of an unlikely and mysterious friend.”

This incident, and others like it are included in the book "Winged Aliens," which is available at Amazon.com.

Daniel Boone's Bigfoot Sighting

Daniel Boone By Chester Harding -

Before his death in 1820, famous explorer and pioneer Daniel Boone spoke of once killing a giant 10-foot hairy creature. It is unclear where this occurred but likely it was in Kentucky, where he lived with his family from 1775, or Missouri where he settled in 1799. Boone had been previously silent about the matter, only sharing the story with a few people, but during the year prior to his death he told several people about the encounter, possibly in an attempt to get the tale out before he passed on. 

The most notable written account is from the book DANIEL BOONE: THE LIFE AND LEGEND OF AN AMERICAN PIONEER by John Mack Faragher:

“After the meal one of the men asks Boone for a story, and he begins a tale but is interrupted by a man who claims that his story is ‘impossible.’ With this remark Boone shuts up and despite urgings that he continue, he refuses to speak further. Later that evening, when he has retired to the room he shares with the son of the tavern keeper, the boy asks him about his silence. ‘I dislike to be in a crowd’ Boone explains, and ‘would not have opened my lips had that man remained.’ Well, we are alone now, says the boy, and he presses the old man to tell the story. ‘You shall have it, honey’ says Boone, who has taken a fancy to him, and proceeds to tell of killing a ten foot, hairy giant he called a ‘Yahoo.’

Boone's favorite book was Gulliver's Travels written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. In the book the giant hairy humanoids were called Yahoos, so it seems fitting that Boone would give the creature he saw that name. Swift describes the Yahoos thus:

"My horror and astonishment are not to be described, when I observed in this abominable animal, a perfect human figure: the face of it indeed was flat and broad, the nose depressed, the lips large, and the mouth wide; but these differences are common to all savage nations, where the lineaments of the countenance are distorted, by the natives suffering their infants to lie grovelling on the earth, or by carrying them on their backs, nuzzling with their face against the mothers’ shoulders. The fore-feet of the Yahoo differed from my hands in nothing else but the length of the nails, the coarseness and brownness of the palms, and the hairiness on the backs. There was the same resemblance between our feet, with the same differences; which I knew very well, though the horses did not, because of my shoes and stockings; the same in every part of our bodies except as to hairiness and colour, which I have already described."

The real question is - where did author Jonathan Swift get the idea for Yahoos? Did Swift encounter a Sasquatch himself?

Fairy sighting at KCI Airport

Tony Degn is no stranger to unexplained phenomena. He is a primary witness to the Mothman sightings in the greater Kansas City area, having encountered the creature at least five times. Tony is also a UFO witness, with his first experience at age 17, and he's seen a few ghosts, too. Now he claims to have seen a fairy.

Tony is an entertainer and a driver for Uber. At the time of this event he was living in Independence, Missouri and often worked at the Kansas City International Airport where he would park on standby until a call came in for a customer. 

While waiting in the taxi area at KCI Airport in the mid-afternoon in May of 2021, Tony noticed something luminous with wings flying down in front of his windshield. At first he thought it was an insect, but it was all white and very bright and he thought that was odd, so he took a closer look at it. 

The creature hovered at about mid-way of the windshield, fluttering its wings, while staring at Tony for a few seconds - long enough for him to get a good look at it. It was a female fairy with a human-like body and face dressed in a long white dress. The most amazing part of the description is that it was only about 1 1/2 inches tall!  Tony said "I was just shocked, and sat there with my mouth open, staring into the eyes of this tiny being. I still can't believe what I saw, but I know I saw it." Tony always has his cell phone ready to photograph anything anomalous, but he was too shocked to think about picking the phone up this time. That is not unusual - many people react the same way. 

Tony insists that the creature could have been nothing other than a fairy. The diminutive size of the creature is most perplexing, however.

I've taken reports from other witnesses who claim to have seen very small fairies under 1 1/2 inches tall. Two couples in Oklahoma who are unacquainted with each other have seen the same type of fairies along the same park. A man in California who says he has seen tiny fairies at the same location since the 1970's claims to see them on a daily basis. A witness in Georgia claims to have seen small fairies in his backyard since he moved into his new house in 2020. 

It is my hope that someone will eventually get photographs of these elusive tiny creatures.
