JET FIGHTER SEEN TRACKING UFOs OVER MISSOURI

On Monday, December 9 at 6:45 pm, a father and daughter in Ash Grove, Missouri (population 1,157) spotted "a bright orange ball of light" about 10 degrees above the horizon. The UFO "hovered for several minutes, then vanished."

Further action took place in the city of Springfield (population 133,000) between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. There, a number of unusual lighted objects were seen to hover and move slowly over the city by several witnesses. At 7:15 p.m., a very luminous orange ball of light was observed just above the horizon, moving slowly upward. Then it suddenly vanished.

Five minutes later, "a jet fighter shot across the southern sky at approximately 300 miles per hour at a very low altitude of a couple thousand feet," according to a witness, who said he saw the jet "bank sharply and fly toward the spot where the orange sphere had vanished."
