If you believe that being a law enforcement officer adds extra credibility to a story then you need to see what a Missouri officer said about strange lights he recently saw in virtually every direction.

This brand new report submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center is a compelling one. It happened in the early morning hours of March 23, 2026 near Mt. Vernon, Missouri. The eyewitness report comes from a law enforcement officer. He and a coworker went outside where he had seen odd lights before and they both saw lights begin to appear. Then one light became several:

"We then began scanning different directions and identified seven more orbs spread out across the sky. Each one appeared to move independently, almost like they were “dancing” or “playing.” They would brighten significantly, then fade"

He captured several pictures and videos that you can watch for yourself on his official report. If you're not familiar with Mt. Vernon, Missouri, it's located to the southwest of Springfield. It's easy to see the sky from this part of Missouri since there's not much light pollution except from Springfield off in the distance.

I've watched his videos and I can't tell what the objects are. I first thought they might be drones, but the movement doesn't seem to match what I would expect. The lights do seem to interact which makes me wonder if there's some kind of intelligence involved between them. I'm not saying I believe he's seen E.T., but the lights are definitely unusual. Read his other comments and watch his videos on the official NUFORC report he submitted.
