Even by strange UFO standards, this is one of the most bizarre encounters I've ever heard of. It just happened a few days ago in Chesterfield, Missouri where eyewitnesses claim all the lights went out and then an object appeared above them.

This is an official report that was just submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center a few days ago. It occurred the night of December 8, 2024 in Chesterfield, Missouri. I would recommend you read their entire testimony, but here is what 3 friends claim they experienced (exact words as they shared it). I've added emphasis:

"My friends and I were sitting in my car after a meal in a heavily populated area with plenty of buildings and businesses around. All of the sudden every street light began to flicker and go in a sequence, then suddenly after about 15 seconds of that, every light near us went out completely. The only lights were the moon shining, the traffic light, and my headlights. The restaurant where we ate was completely dark with 50+ customers inside still. It’s as though the world had stopped. Of the 3 of us that were in my car, previously chatting, I don’t think any of us breathed in this moment. After the lights had gone completely off, a big bright blue/green light shined from the sky, directly above my car, then it stopped."

They go on to say that they went back into the restaurant and the employees confirmed that the power had gone off and didn't seem alarmed. They proceeded to drive down the road to where they worked and learned that power had flickered there, but had not gone off.

They said that it was rainy, but there was no lightning reported in Chesterfield, Missouri the night of December 8 and I have confirmed that through the National Weather Service forecast for that area.

Here are my questions. If they were sitting right outside of the restaurant, did anyone that remained inside see the light/object that appeared above them? You would think that 50 or more people that close would also be reporting something odd if it were real. I'm not saying that it's NOT real. I'm just wondering out loud why this seemed to be a personal experience and not more widespread?

The truth is out there and/or up there.
