A Kansas witness at Kansas City recalled a UFO incident from 1978 where he and two fellow band members had a close encounter with an object just 50 feet overhead, according to testimony in Case 73425 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was in a show band in April 1978 that traveled the Midwest and the three were rehearsing a new act at the singer’s parent’s farm just outside Kansas City, KS.
“The guitar player, keyboard player and myself went outside for a smoke break at around 8p.m. when we noticed a bright light off in the eastern sky,” the witness stated.“As we watched, it grew larger and we realized it was coming directly at us.”
When the object arrived directly overhead, the group could clearly see that it was a craft, triangular or delta-wing shaped – hovering silently about 50 feet above them.
“There were two globes hanging from the craft, one from each ‘wing’ if you will. One of the globes was a bright, white light and the other was dark.”
While they watched it hover silently, the guitar player went inside to get his camera and just as he was coming back outside, the craft darted off at an incredible speed toward the north toward Kansas City.
“We continued to watch it and saw that there was an electrical storm that it was headed into. As it drew close to that storm, the other globe under the craft started to glow evenly with the other globe. It entered the storm and disappeared. We concluded among ourselves that the craft must be powered by some sort of electric/magnetic power that it can replenish from our electric storms.”
The witness recently met up again with the other two witnesses to discuss their sighting from 1978.
“The following morning we were packing the equipment into the van when we heard a deafening roar. We looked north toward Kansas City and saw a passenger jet taking off and rising to cruising altitude. Now this was miles away to the north. just about as far as the storm was the night before, and the sound of that plane taking off was deafening. It just heightened the stark silence of the craft from the night before.”

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and
actual effort to generate a really good article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t
seem to get anything done.
Where are the photos or mobile pictures to prove this? More real evidence is needed other wise its just another empty story. Evidence / proof?
