The greater Kansas City, Missouri, area has seen a higher than normal number of UFO sightings recently, according to state members of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

On July 31, two witnesses saw a "low flying spherical object" that was glowing a bright red-orange color. They said the object was above or near the AT&T building as they observed it from 1700 Walnut.

The object began to move toward the airport and they lost sight of it. The witnesses then went up to a building rooftop and again were able to observe the object.

"It passed right in front of the AT&T building right below the sign," the witness stated, "which is less than a mile from where I was standing. All I saw was a spherical object, very bright, glowing red and orange."

Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Missouri MUFON State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer investigates and reports back on this case, I will update this page. The following report is unedited. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.

Missouri, July 31, 2009 - Glowing Red/Orange UFO. MUFON Case #18421.

My friend and I where standing outside our work building approximately 9:00pm CDT. We saw a very strange low flying spherical object,glowing bright red/orange, the lights never blinked. We watched it from 1700 Walnut KCMO and it appeared to be above the and around the AT&T building. It then started to head towards the airport and we lost sight of it.

I went up to the roof to see if I could get another glimpse of the object. Suddenly it was back and I snapped a couple of photos of it passing around the AT&T building before heading north again. Its movement was not like an airplane or a helicopter. It passed right in front of the AT&T building right below the sign, which is less than a mile from where I was standing. All I saw was a spherical object, very bright, glowing red and orange. My camera time lapse didn't focus quick enough to get a good shots in front of the building. Its a new cannon powershot and doesn't take photos all that well at night. It took less than 2-5 seconds from the first photo, pass in front of the AT&T building, and then head north. Second photo is after the pass of the building.

I thought this would have been some kind of light rotating or reflection of some sorts but kept looking around with not finding anything at all. There were several helicopters and planes we could see in the distance that did not compare to this spherical glowing object.

My clearest photo was in the 20x Digital zoom. 12.1 megapixel.
