SIGHTING: KIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was driving home and could see the moon, two days past full, just rising. it was a beautiful orange color so i went to photograph it. the sky was clear and the moon was visible, ese, through a large gap in the trees. as i pulled up, i saw three orange orbs, flying north, by the moon. they were further away than small aircraft but much closer than jets. they were the same color as the moon. by the time i parked and got out with my camera, keeping my eyes on the orbs, they had turned wnw and were visible through the trees. i was unable to photograph because of the tree density. they were moving differently than planes or helicopters, which we have frequently in the area. slower when going n, quicker in the turn, then slower again. they were in a line formation that seemed odd, almost as if they were attached by string. no sound or com trails."
