Here is a really interesting video that was taken Sunday, November 13, 2011 somewhere in the state of Virginia. According to the witness, he had just returned from grocery shopping and was unloading his car when his wife noticed something streak across the sky. This is when he started filming in the direction of the streak, capturing the triangle-shaped craft we see in the video. Now, from the audio track we can infer that the witness had a pre-existing interest in the UFO phenomenon. Sometimes, this sort of pre-existing interest can lead a witness jump to conclusions about what they are seeing. (Just search UFO on YouTube. You will become an expert in aircraft navigation lights in no time.) However, I don’t think this is the case with this video. There are just too many factors that seem to indicate that this is a legitimate UFO sighting.

First, we have the video footage itself. The recording appears to have started mid sighting, which matches the statement the witness submitted to MUFON and is what you would expect in a sighting where the witness was caught off guard by the appearance of a UFO. Also, we can see buildings and lights, so we have a frame of reference to judge the object by. Not only does this give us an idea of orientation and position, it also lets us make assumptions about the true color of the lights on the object. Because the other lights in the footage appear “normal” (i.e. how you would expect exterior lights to look if you were sanding outside at night), we can safely assume that color of the lights on the object is true. Since the object is moving towards the camera, if it were an airplane or a helicopter, we would expect to see the red and green marker lights that are required by FAA regulations. In this footage we merely have a triangular array of white lights. Additionally, the audio track is also telling. In it, we can literally hear everything from crickets chirping to the breeze passing over the microphone. What we don’t hear is any engine noise or rotor chop as the UFO passes overhead. Taking all of this into consideration, it would seem that this is legitimate UFO footage.

Filmed in Carp, Ontario this past August, this video shows a triangular formation of flashing lights. What particularly drew me to this footage is that despite how incredibly close the object or objects seem, you cannot hear anything other than the witness and passing traffic. Had this been an airplane or helicopter, there should have been some sort of familiar sound audible. Also, the lights all appear to be white. Since the object appears to be traveling toward the camera, we would expect red and green marker lights to be visible on an airplane. Additionally, all three white lights appear to be flashing. On an airplane, we would only expect 2 white flashing lights and maybe one or two red flashing beacons. This all seems to lend some credibility to the statement made by the witness in the video that he checked the “radar” and there is nothing nearby. What could have been in the Canadian skies this August night?

Slow-motion Footage:

Just barely a month ago the first reports of UFOs over Lee’s Summit, Missouri started to pour in. Now we have another report from Lee’s Summit of a UFO spotted on Halloween. The witnesses report seeing the craft while out trick-or-treating, and followed it. Above it the best version of the video available on YouTube. In it we can see a ring of lights moving overhead. In the original version of the clip (embedded bellow), we can hear what sounds like aircraft. Could this footage possibly show the KC Flight Formation Team that claimed responsibility for the first Lee’s Summit sighting?

KC Flight Formation Team over the stadium

Unless there is a conspiracy at work to cover up the Lee’s Summit UFO activity using the flight team as a “scapegoat”, I believe the answer to be yes. According this post on the team’s Facebook page, they were performing a flyover at Arrowhead Stadium for the Chief’s game. In fact, the post made Monday morning specifically said, “Monday Night Football, KC Flight will be generating UFO reports as we hold over the Lee’s Summit area, waiting for the run in on Arrowhead for the National Anthem.” Additionally, this photo which was taken at the game shows the flight team passing over the stadium looking a lot like the UFO in the video. Given the preponderance of evidence, it would seem that this UFO sighting can safely be reclassified as an IFO sighting.
