SIGHTING: JOPLIN, MISSOURI (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"My wife, son and I noticed an unusal amount of contrails in the sky above our house and all around the area as far as we could see. We were outside talking about it and decided to go around to the back yard which faces the West to see if we could get a better view. During this time we noticed several jets in the sky. They were easily recognizable. Suddenly a craft appeared from the West headed East and it's path was directly over our house, flying much lower than the jets we had previously seen which were no longer in our view. It was unlike any aircraft we had ever seen before. It did not have wings. It looked nothing like the jets we had just seen passing through. As it was above our house I was able to take a cell phone picture. The shape is very hard to describe because of the orange lights around it. I can only describe it as almost round, more triangular. This would be looking at the under-side of it. As soon as it was over our house and out of our view it was immediately followed by a very fast moving jet that was flying the exact same flight pattern only higher in the sky than the unrecognizable craft.
