"1 9 4 7 Morehouse, Missouri Correspondence

In late summer of 1947 I was a small boy living in Morehouse, Mo. On a Sunday night, we witnessed two metallic objects circling above the ground on the south end of town. There were no lights, no sounds ---just these two metallic objects. They resembled airplanes without windows, wings or tails. They were there for several minutes, perhaps as long as several hours. My parents made me go inside and go to bed. I have not been successful in finding any mention of this event in any of the UFO reports or writings. The strange part is that the entire town of Morehouse seems to have amnesia concerning the event. I have questioned other residents who I remember being at the sighting, and they just don't seem to recall it. These two metallic objects circled in the sky above us opposite from each other --- just silently circling. At least 20 or 30 people were out in the street witnessing this event. And yet, no one in Morehouse today seems to recall it."

Near Cape Girardeau?

Rush's fault.

A number of years ago one of my best friends relayed a story to me. He said he was sitting on the back deck of his house when he spotted a silver object up in the sky just hovering there. He said he just sat there staring at it but didn't remember how long.

What was strange, according to him, was that he had no recollection watching the object until his memory about it kicked in 3 weeks later.........

Search light beam, reflecting off cloud layers?

Who was having a grand opening that week?

Wasn’t there some famous UFO sighting around the same area? I think some police officers were the main witnesses.

I was pondering the difference between current UFO reports and older ones before I even read the account from 1947 included in your post, but it seems to confirm what I was thinking. It seems like most UFO reports used to be of “solid” objects, usually “saucer” shaped, and usually “metallic”. Today’s UFO reports often have none of those and rarely, if ever, have all 3 of those. It seems nowadays we hear about “orbs” and “balls of light”. Is this just my imagination? Any thoughts?

The silent object was described as a glowing gold color, slow moving, traveling only about 20 mph.

Glad to hear that space monsters are observing proper safety measures; aviation lights, low speed, etc.

How about we just shoot one down and find out what is inside?
