One thing I tried to clear up was the Lee's Summit Airport - http://cityofls.net/Transportation/Airport/General-Information.aspx whos hours of operation end before the major portion of these sightings. I've sent an e-mail earlier today to the general manager of the airport - unresponded to - asking if planes take off and land after hours. I would assume this guy is being overwhelmed by folks asking questions.
Anyway, without further ado - here's more sightings from 10-4 in Missouri. The MUFON reports.
================
#1 - I was driving from the UMKC campus after my night class at 8:10-8:15 on Emanuel Cleaver Blvd along Brush Creek. I had just past Gates BBQ at The Paseo headed north/east towards Raytown. I saw about a 1-2 miles away a V shaped aircraft with several orange lights VERY close to the tree line. They were not blinking. It did not appear to move like a normal airplane, it hovered. I first thought it was a large jumbo jet making an emergency landing in the location of 350 highway near 435. But the distance from where I was to where the object was made it too big to be a commercial plane. I continued to drive north/east on Emanuel Cleaver hoping I'd see it closer but I lost sight of it in the trees once I passed 71 highway. I used to live near Whiteman AFB when I was in college and would see B2 bombers and other military planes, this was nothing like I'm used to. It was too big. I would definately like to know if the military is testing an object over civilian areas without informing us or if this really is what I believe it is.
When I got home my fiance told me he had seen something odd in the sky in Independence where we live. He was on 39th street near the Independence Center. He saw the aircraft hovering in the sky around 7:40-7:50 over 470/291 towards the Bass Pro shopping area (west direction). He said it was V-shaped with and had lots of blinking lights. He thought it was a plane but it moved too slow and circled around to much. He said at one point it went vertical and hovered then broke into three parts.
It kind of freaked me out that he saw the exact same object and told me about it before I said anything to him about what I had seen. That just struck us both as odd and not normal. Hence why I'm submitting this report. I've seen other reports through MUFON on a blog and those reports are similar to ours.

#2Report taken by Assistant State Director today: "I was driving North on Woods Chapel Road in Lee's Summit while heading home from work and saw people stopped and looking up. I stopped at a stop sign and saw a huge craft with multiple green, white, and blue circlular shaped lights on the bottom of it come directly over my head. The lights were all on the bottom in a triangular shape. The size was enormous. To give you an idea for the size - it filled up the entire windshield of my car. It was moving very slowly in a North direction towards the small Lee's Summit airport. That airport is too small for large planes to land. I see planes in the area all the time but this was not normal. A co-worker of mine saw it too. It was flying very low. At first we thought it was a large plane, but it did not look like a plane at all. After it turned towards the airport, it slowed for one minute, then contineud North, which was left of our position, and it went out of sight. I am sending a drawing to the investigator."

#4 As reported to assistant state director today by e-mail and phone:
E-Mail report:
"Me and my boyfriend saw what appeared to be a ufo, we were driving and saw the object because it was pretty low, we thought it was an airplane or something until we saw about 7 or 8 lights at the bottom of it, it sped away pretty fast, we kept driving and saw it again, we had our camera phone out recording it, and it came back to us, right over us in a matter of seconds, I saw lots of blueish whitish lights at the bottom, we have some of it on video, this happened Monday night around 8-9 o'clock p.m., on our way home, not too far from home."
The witness called me today and further stated that it would take a car to cover the object up at arm's length. THe lights were all facing downward. She said that it took off at a fast speed, then returned and hovered right over their vehicle. Her boyfriend took video of it with her cell phone and she is sending it to me. The object then just floated away slowly.

#5 Lee’s Summit, Mo. Tuesday 7:52 pm
October 4th, 2011
I saw a U.F.O. I do believe that we are not alone in the universe and I do believe in God. In my lifetime I have observed strange lights in the sky, I have read articles about abductions or eyewitness accounts U.F.O. sightings, and I admit to watching shows about area 51, Roswell and government cover-ups. Hollywood is alwys entertaining when bringing a new twist to the elusive E.T. ‘s that are watching us, snatching us and performing their tests on us. I am not fanatical about the subject.
I am going to recount the events and what I saw from my balcony. Many other people saw the same thing and reported it. I just want to know what it was.
I was sitting on my balcony, talking on the phone, I looked up as this enormous, slow moving, very bright object began to move over the tree line. I said I had to go, wanted to get a picture of this & my phone was dying, so I needed to get my charger plugged in. Then I stood frozen and stared.
It was Not a stealth. It was moving SE, and another smaller craft (small plane, helicopter?) was moving NW. At first I thought they were going to collide, then (it seemed almost awkward) maneuvered and I remember thinking ”the little one seems panicked.” It was not the normal amount of space between two aircraft. The little one disappeared, then count-I, 2, it flew over the top of the big one. This is when I remembered my desire for pictures and my dying phone. By the time I was back outside it had moved to the E side of downtown L.S. Then my phone rang, I answered it, plugged it in, and it was gone when I got back outside. THAT FAST!
The Craft- It was at least the size of a football field. I really could not tell what the overall shape was. It had two rows of lights that spanned the width and then under those lights were two more rows, centered, but shorter in width. There was a consistent pattern in the lights, that changed in number, becoming less at the center, but symmetrical, for example- Left to Right- 9, 8, 8,, 5,, 3, 4, 3,, 5,, 8, 8, 9. Each number represents the uninterrupted chain of “bulbs” each comma represents a space. The top two rows were identical. Sizeable space, then rows three and four were solid, no interruptions. I would say they were the width of 5-5. The lights seemed brighter, whiter than the little craft’s light, but I don’t remember them changing colors or pulsing.
I didn’t see the craft flip on it’s side or disappear. What I noticed the most, frightened me most. There was no noise. Not from either one. I could hear my cats playing inside, my microwave beep (my tea was done) and my neighbors talking.
My daughter was on HWY 291 with a friend. They both saw it. They had to lean over in the car to see the whole thing, it was right over them. The same daughter has chosen a caree in avaition, so we CONSTANTLY watch the aircraft in the skies. This was different.
October 5th, 1:30 pm. I called LS airport, to inquire. The man who answered said he had heard nothing about this occurance, that it must be some local pilots practicing their formation routine for an upcoming event (off the record, of course.) He said that I must be mistaken, that people mistake common things (weather balloons, stray kites, etc.) all the time. I responded with “doesn’t our local airport have a responsibility to know who is where in our skies?” He informed me that clearly I was mistaken, thanked me for calling and hung up.
I know what I saw. I made my next call to KCI. I was transferred four times to “someone who could better answer those questions.” Number five was an air traffic control person. He listened me but said he had heard nothing of this either. I asked him to google UFO/Lees Summit10/04/2011. I asked how so many could see this and KCI not know? I said “if it was confidential, then say it’s confidential, and I would shut up and hang up. If it’s a really big airplane, then tell me the model, but don’t say you didn’t even know it was there!” He reviewed radar starting at 6:00 pm. After about a minute he says” Well I see here there WAS Something flying in our airspace, but we weren’t talking to them” I said “HUH?” He got quiet, then said “oh it must be a 747 that landed at about 7:28 pm. He had nothing else to say. I thanked him and hung up.
I am not an MIT hopeful. I will never be a brain surgeon. I am also not stupid.
If it was confidential then why was it flying SO Slowly and SO Close to the ground? We all know what the Stealth looks like…a weather balloon? A little more tact when insulting someone’s intelligence is in order.
Yep-it’s unexplained. Yep-it looks fishy. What are they doing at our airports? Answers would be Awesome! I have low expectations. http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/report_handler.pl?req=view_long_desc&id=32387
================================================
And, this is NOT the first time that Lee's Summit has been the focus of UFO reports - as you can see from this TV report just two months ago of a multiple witness sighting on July 30th.

Very interestingly, I've yet to find an uploaded video even while some are mentioned in the various reports. UDCC will keep on it and bring analysis as the week rolls onward.
