SIGHTING: DE SOTO, MO

Witness Testimony

" Red-orange lights floating in random formation before fading outOn a clear night, with no planes in a rural location, we saw what started as 4 red-orange, somewhat flickering lights moving in a random formation through the southeast sky. As we watched them moving, some began to move more quickly and in direct paths. After a few moments, a few more came up from the horizon. They lasted about 5-6 minutes before fading out. They varied slightly in brightness. They were completely silent.The formation seemed like something directly out of a classic ufo sighting tv show, and this being such a rural area, the only other thing we could imagine they could be were chinese lanterns, or other flame driven balloons. They arced up a bit as they traveled, and we observed that they were arcing with the prevailing winds.((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)) "
