“We thought the light was a falling star, a meteorite ... but then it curved and disappeared. Immediately in its place three sets of three black triangles appeared in formation right overhead no more than 500 feet above us - very fast, but dead quiet.”
- Greg Crane, Resident of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

“With the naked eye, fuzzy colors is not what you see. The lights are as clear as a hovering helicopter with running lights except the lights are all different colors running all over the place - and there is no sound.”

– “The colorful aerial lights in Norwood, Ontario, seem to be
in the same place every night and move through the sky much the same
as ‘regular’ stars…. almost like they masquerade as ‘normal’ stars.
It’s good to know we aren’t the only ones observing this.”
– Norwood, Ontario, Canada resident NE of Kitchener
In 1993 to 1994, at 10 PM local time above an apartment building in Harjumaa, Estonia (Eastern Europe), three eyewitnesses were shocked by a rapidly low-flying, silent, 40-foot-long triangle-shaped craft.
– “The saucer-shaped craft witnessed by Patrick Colligan
at RCC in Roswell is the same gigantic craft that I witnessed
in the summer of 1962 in Chicago, Illinois.”
– Naples, Florida resident
October 1, 2006, 11:15 PM Mountain, Roswell, New Mexico. Sketch of aerial craft with white glowing, rectangular windows that showed dull grey metal surface between each window. The estimated 650-foot-wide, completely silent craft moved slowly in the air over a cattle ranch behind the Roswell Correctional Center State Prison about 25 miles south of Roswell.

December 12, 2011 Kitchener, Ontario, Canada - Greg Crane has lived most of his 44 years in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Greg has also loved working on machines since dropping out of high school to restore an old car. He now is a professional restorer of antique cars and works out of the same home and office he's had for eighteen years. So, Greg is very familiar with the landscape and sky around his place that was built on the side of a hill. The hilltop rises to the east blocking out that part of the sky. But Greg has clear views of the west, south and north.

“The couple estimated the huge diamond craft was about 100 feet above their vehicle ... there was absolutely no sound.”
- Margie Kay, Asst. State Dir., Missouri MUFON
Since April 2011, Missouri MUFON has received dozens of reports about highly strange aerial phenomena ranging from morphing lights to beams to shapes ranging from diamond and triangular to oval and circular - all large and most silent. Primary geographic focuses of the phenomena have been Kansas City, Independence, Raytown and Lee's Summit.Whiteman AFB, home of the 509th Bomb Wing and B-2s, is southeast of Kansas City and Lee's Summit in Missouri. But B-2s and other terrestrial airplanes don't hover in the same place in the sky for several minutes silently morphing in shapes.
November 23, 2011 Independence, Missouri - On October 12, 2011, I first interviewed Margie Kay, Assistant State Director, Missouri Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), about the unidentified lights, spheres and other unusual aerial shapes reported by many citizens the previous week. See: 101211 Earthfiles.
