SIGHTING: SEDALIA, MISSOURI (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I work in home health care. I was at work at my clients home on the overnight shift on the morning of Nov. 21 2014. I stepped outside on the front porch of the house, which faces west, to smoke a cigarette. I looked up into the sky and noticed what I first thought was a helicopter light as there is a hospital nearby and low flying helicopters are not unusual in the area. I then realized that there were no running lights (red and green) and no landing lights. The color of the light was yellow/orange and was not a color that I had ever seen on aircraft. As I watched what looked like a fireball, it moved in an apparent straight line in a northeastern course, moving from left to right. After watching it for several seconds it ascended up into the low cloud cover and disappeared. When I was a younger man, I was in the US Navy and was trained as a lookout on board ship. I have experience sighting, following, and identifying multiple aircraft, course, etc. This fireball made no sound that I could hear and was of no color/configuration I have ever seen."
