Kansas City UFO Sightings on the Rise June 12, 2009

ANSAS CITY, MO. - Is there life in outer space? And if so, when E.T. phones home is he dialing an 816 number?

A local group that investigates UFO close encounters said it's getting more reports of UFOs in our area and more interest in the organization.

When you see reports about UFOs on the internet, it's hard to separate fact from fiction. But, that's exactly what a group of UFO investigators in Kansas City is working to do.

On May 31, witnesses saw two unidentified objects near the UMKC campus. A man reported it to MUFON, Mutual UFO Network, and gave investigators a drawing of what he saw.

"He grew up on military bases and couldn't identify it at all," said Margie Kay, Director of KC MUFON.

Kay said sightings like the one at UMKC are on the rise since the start of the year. They used to get one or two sightings a month. Now, it's one or two a day.

"It's keeping us all too busy. Yes. At one point a couple of months ago I received 11 reports on the same day," said Kay.

Kay is also noticing a lot more chatter on websites. One message board used to get about 12 posts a month a couple of years ago, in January 2009, it received 129 messages.

When someone makes a report, Kay said they interview the person to weed out fake reports. They examine photos or drawings of the close encounter.

"And, then we check radar reports and weather," said Kay.

The government's official stance is that UFOs are natural phenomena like stars and clouds or regular aircraft or even a hoax.

But, Kay said her group will continue to search the skies for answers.

"We want to know what's going on. We want to know the truth behind UFOs," said Kay.

KC's MUFON group is hosting a Mysteries of the Universe conference coming up July 18. It's expected to draw as many as 300 people.

The only thing that creeps me out ain't the UFO's, is that until fox news decides to put it on their schedule nobody fucking speaks about it.

[bigronniecoleman]

what the fuck are you talking about? you are an idiot who is not informed on the subject. Did you know that Fife Symington the governor of Arizona in 1997 when the pheonix lights occured said it was a ufo from outer space and it was after saying it was not true in front of the public so they don't panic....so is Edgar mitchell, apollo 14 astronaut who says ufo and aliens are real .....just get informed instead of misleading people

I live in KC and I've seen a LOT of UFO's lately (last 3 months).

Also, in 2000 I saw the EXACT same triangle space ship they showed here in Lawrence, home of KU. If anyone else lives around here and is seeing things now (July 2011, today is the 11th) send me a message.

WTF? Is this an advert for MUFON or a news broadcast?  Show us the fucking UFO you saw. Don't ramble on about your emails or Mufon or show us video footage of an old ufo. News? No. Bag of shite!

@WatchingViking Thats why fox news has the best tv ratings of all the news networks. I don't think that makes them gigantic failures.

[orangeblood307]

@gettinitgood69able1 It's local news. Why would they have any reason to lie. Fox 4 news isn't Fox news, its just the same company. But nbc and msnbc are the worse.

@drumstick74 well it is a fox station....
