UFO SWARM OBSERVED OVER MADISON COUNTY, SOUTHEAST MISSOURI, USA
William Jud, Geologist, Author
14 December 2022
I had been complaining of boredom because nothing interesting was going on.
That changed on Saturday night, 22 October 2022.
⦁ Around 9:00 p.m. my neighbor started banging on my door. A forest fire was approaching and I needed to evacuate.
⦁ The Cherokee Pass Rural Fire Department had already arrived. US Forest Service and Missouri Conservation firefighters also came. Two bulldozers and several firefighters with leaf blowers started work. By the time the fire was contained, the fire was just 500 feet from my house.
⦁ We went to the neighbor's house and sat on the porch, talking, and watching the stars. Some of the stars were moving erratically. Some were flashing on and off and changing color. Stars don't move that way. They weren't stars. They were not aircraft. They were not satellites. They were a UFO swarm. Twelve of them.
Yes, real UFOs. Real, legitimate UFOs. Doing what UFOs are famous for doing.
Parked unmoving in the sky, then immense acceleration, then an abrupt stop. Moving across as much as 5 degrees of sky in one second and one jump.
One bright red UFO zoomed across 15 degrees of sky in about 10 seconds and appeared to stop and hover in the vicinity of Marquand. That UFO resembled Mars but was larger and much brighter.
Three or four airplanes crossed the sky, moving in straight lines, at a constant speed, with red and white blinking identification lights. Completely normal airplane behavior. Not UFOs. No confusion.
There were islands of scattered clouds internally mixed with areas of open sky. Airplanes crossing the cloud islands disappeared behind the clouds and reappeared across the patches of open sky. Some moving UFOs dimmed but did not disappear when crossing the cloud islands, suggesting that the UFOs were flying within or under the clouds, and offering an estimate of flight altitude.
One bright white UFO displayed a surrounding cluster of several smaller satellite lights, some blinking, some constant, and some with white, blue, and red changing colors. My neighbor got still photos and video motion pictures on his telephone camera. The video recording does show some detail under magnification, displaying a 4-armed cross, +, extending top - bottom - left - right from the central UFO body.
No sound was noticed, but the UFOs were high up and miles away, probably too far for any sound to be heard.
UFO sightings records go back thousands of years, are shown in ancient petroglyphs in the southwestern States, and are mentioned (by interpretation) in the Bible, Quran, and other historical documents. Those UFOs come in two flavors: Solid Material UFOs, and Energy Projection UFOs.
UFOs made of solid physical material must (as far as we know) obey Newton's 2nd Law of Motion: Force = Mass x Acceleration.
UFOs made of solid material, probably Mothership types, would instantly break apart if doing the extreme start-stop changes in speed and instant, high-speed, zero-radius turns for which UFOs are famous. Living creatures onboard would go SPLAT against a hard surface.
UFOs that are Energy Projections, advanced HOLOGRAMS, are not limited by Newton's 2nd Law because photons have no mass, so Newton's equation reads Force = zero x Acceleration, or Zero Force.
An example is a Photon Energy Beam from a flashlight shining a spot of light onto a wall. You can move and shake the flashlight as fast as you want and the moving light spot on the wall will not influence the flashlight. Light photons are massless. Newton's 2nd Law equation equals zero.
Probable Energy Projection UFOs have been seen entering the water without making a SPLASH. A solid UFO definitely would make a VERY BIG SPLASH. An Energy Projection UFO would not disturb water any more than shining a flashlight beam into the water.
Now there may be a third category of UFO, and that has the US Department of Defense worried. About 500 really smart people at DoD, NASA, Harvard University, and several others, currently are studying UFOs to determine whether some modern UFOs might be homegrown, that is, built by US adversaries. Those worrisome UFOs include conventional drone aircraft and also functional reproductions of traditional (space alien?) UFOs.
Solid material UFOs crash occasionally. What if a UFO crashed in China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea, and the scientists and engineers took the UFO apart, found out how it works, and built a fleet of UFOs to be loaded with thermonuclear weapons ('Hydrogen bombs') and flown into American skies when the opportunity arises? Not as far-fetched as it may seem, and our National Security people are investigating.
Our adversaries could create an artificial Carrington Event like the intense, natural, Solar Coronal Mass Ejection that hit Earth on 1–2 September 1859 and caused widespread damage to the national electrical and telegraph systems in North America and Europe.
Simultaneously detonate 50 evenly spaced H-bombs over North America at 50 to 100 miles above the ground and everything electronic or electrical is instantly destroyed by a giant electromagnetic pulse, including all the electrical generation and transmission equipment. Instant return to the Stone Age. Way more than 99% fatalities. Do you understand why the Department of Defense is concerned? Can you live in the modern world without electricity? No water. No food. Nothing. Maybe you will survive two to four weeks, tops.
If DoD and NASA are interested, I'm interested.
An exciting night. I have long wanted to see a UFO. Saturday night I saw 12 UFOs, plus the danger of a forest fire that came within the width of a gnat's eyebrow from destroying my house.
Were UFO swarms seen at other locations that night along the 37-38 degrees north latitude "Paranormal Freeway"? Do UFO swarms often happen in southeast Missouri? (Recently, yes, they do.) Is there a geological connection? Does this mean anything?
Look at the sky next time you are outside on a clear, very dark, Moonless night.
Some of the lights in the sky may not be stars.
Stay tuned.

Second Article:
HOW DOES A UFO SURVIVE ITS OWN VIOLENT MOVEMENTS?
William Jud, Geologist, Author
14 January 2023 Updated 30 March 2023
There is a simple answer after a change of assumption. That is, many (emphasis!!!! NOT ALL) UFOs are not solid objects. Some UFOs are ENERGY PROJECTIONS with ZERO MASS. Advanced HOLOGRAMS.
Isaac Newton solved the UFO violent movements survival problem in the year 1687 with his 2nd Law Of Motion: (INERTIAL) FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION. Let MASS = ZERO and it all makes sense. "Inertial" Force is created by a Change of Speed, not by Speed itself. Inertial Force is how a hammer drives a nail.
Repeating for emphasis: Some, not all, UFOs appear to be ENERGY PROJECTIONS, not SOLID PHYSICAL OBJECTS.
You get ZERO INERTIAL FORCE by replacing the MASS item in the equation with ENERGY. Yes, that is allowed. You want to keep ENERGY and make MASS equal ZERO. Observed UFO electromagnetic radiation and movement require Energy, which has Zero Mass. The Energy component can be any quantity and intensity.
This does NOT mean you multiply ENERGY x ACCELERATION for an Energy Projection UFO. When you change the UFO Conceptual Model from a SOLID UFO to an ENERGY PROJECTION UFO, the MASS component automatically becomes ZERO. Newton's original equation still applies/
Solid UFO 'Motherships', and Energy Projection 'Hologram UFOs', are different entities with different construction and abilities, serving different purposes.
A generalized and not totally accurate Navy ship analogy is, the solid Mothership UFO is an Aircraft Carrier and Holographic UFOs are the airplanes. Holographic UFOs, and a Holographic crew and other occupants if appropriate, are created (and erased) as needed and do not require feeding, equipment storage, maintenance, and support space on the Mothership.
Going off-topic for a moment, the basic Holographic UFO premise probably also applies to other Paranormal phenomena such as Ghosts and Dragons that share operational characteristics with Energy Projection UFOs. Think of a movie theater. The projection equipment will project any visual material loaded into the projector. Projection equipment powerful and advanced enough to project realistic Holographic UFOs would have no problem projecting other Paranormal images such as ghosts, Thunderbirds, and dragons, and even Angels. Have you seen the big wall chart illustrating a hundred or more varieties of UFOs? Are there really that many different UFO Models? It would be much simpler to have just a few standard operating Models and the rest could be nonfunctional projected drawings much like a cast of cartoon characters. Projected image size, color, lights, shape, sound, and other operational components could be adjusted. The same projected UFO Model image could be five feet wide or the size of several football fields. Effectively, a Galactic PHOTOSHOP. Is there a commonality of origin? Who or What is running the Projector, and for what purpose?
Energy Projection UFOs allow the MASS term in Newton's 2nd Law to be ZERO because ENERGY has no MASS. Holographic UFOs are observed to NOT self-destruct from the Inertial Force that might be expected to, but does not, accompany their signature Violent Acceleration movements.
UFO survival is observed. UFO violent acceleration movements are observed. UFOs move and emit light, both of which are energy forms. For observed survival of violent UFO activity to happen, Energy must replace Mass in Newton's equation. Energy can be any intensity. Acceleration can be any intensity. Mass must equal Zero.
Newton's 2nd Law still applies in original form, but for Energy Projection UFOs, MASS now equals Zero. Zero times anything is Zero. Inertial Force is Zero. That suggests those UFOs are very advanced HOLOGRAMS, not solid spacecraft.
If Mass = Zero, then Force = Zero, and Acceleration can have any value WHATEVER without creating the INERTIAL FORCE that would tear apart a solid UFO. Abrupt changes in speed, + or -, (Acceleration), and zero-radius turns at high speed, have no effect on an Energy Projection UFO.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion also implies that some, not all, UFOs do not contain solid matter internally. An airplane might fly through a UFO and not collide with anything solid.
But beware! Energy density could be, and probably is, INTENSE inside an ENERGY PROJECTION UFO. The airplane might not crash into anything solid during UFO transit, but may exit the UFO in a MOLTEN state or even as PLASMA.
The invading human metal aircraft very likely will blow a fuse in the MOTHERSHIP UFO (or other source) projecting the Energy Beam, and who knows what that might cause? At least the short circuit will alert the Mothership crew (whatever that may be) of an unusual event that requires attention. Could be a really bad outcome for humans, or maybe the operator (living or AI) will just put a new fuse in the control panel and continue operating as usual.
UFOs have been seen and reported on Earth for tens of thousands of years. UFO images created 25,000 years ago appear in ancient Petroglyphs in our U.S. southwestern States. UFOs and their Alien occupants are mentioned (by interpretation) abundantly in the Bible, are mentioned in the Quran, and appear in early writing from the age of Egyptian Pharaohs. Humans are hardwired to worship phenomena they do not understand.
Here is a very short list of common UFO-related observations that argue for some, not all, UFOs to be Zero Mass Energy Projections. ENERGY PROJECTION UFOs would display these qualities during normal operations. SOLID UFOs generally would not.
⦁ The signature movement of many UFOs is EXTREMELY RAPID stop-move-stop linear acceleration that can instantly change from parked to movement at hundreds to thousands of miles per hour and then instantly back to a full stop. UFOs are often seen doing zero-radius turns at high speed. These movements would generate HUGE INERTIAL FORCE in a solid object that would tear the object apart and make living creatures onboard go SPLAT against a solid surface. An ENERGY PROJECTION UFO with ZERO MASS would not be thus affected.
⦁ UFOs do not display aerodynamic control surfaces. An Energy Projection UFO would not need them. No wings. No evidence of an engine or other energy source for powered flight. No hot exhaust trail. No engine sound. No SONIC BOOM even when moving at hundreds to thousands of miles per hour. UFOs can move against the wind, even at high altitudes where wind speeds commonly exceed a hundred miles per hour. A zero mass ENERGY PROJECTION UFO would not be influenced by wind any more than a Photon Energy Light Beam from a flashlight is blown around on a windy night.
⦁ UFOs that drop out of the sky and enter the water do not SPLASH going in or going out and may cruise around at a shallow depth underwater without disturbing the surface. A SOLID UFO that moved that way would make a HUGE SPLASH and stir up BIG WAVES.
⦁ A UFO can suddenly appear in empty sky, suddenly disappear, move to another location, and appear again, as though a controlling entity were turning a switch ON and then OFF. It also is possible that a visible Energy Projection UFO (and occupants) could shift to an electromagnetic frequency, + or -, outside the range of visible light. The UFO would still be there. You just could not see it. An Energy Projection UFO operating ONLY in the visible spectrum could help explain why the UFO is visible to people but does not appear on RADAR. Why do (some?) UFOs have lights, anyway? Is visible light just a byproduct of operation, much like exhaust from an engine? Or do some UFOs want humans to see UFOs, and for what reason?
⦁ An ENERGY PROJECTION UFO with ZERO MASS would not be affected by GRAVITY and could hover in place without needing energy input to maintain position. This is different from FLOATING as done by lighter-than-air craft which depends on difference in density with the surrounding air.
⦁ In many photographs, the background is normal but the UFO is grainy and poorly focused. A solid UFO would have a sharper image.
There's a lot more, but you get the idea. Some, but not all, UFOs act like ENERGY PROJECTIONS, not SOLID OBJECTS. They resemble holograms, and they are certainly much more advanced, but are functionally and conceptually similar, to Drone Aircraft now in common use. Energy Projection UFOs probably are scouts, sample collectors, cowboys, veterinarians, messengers, or data gatherers, sent by a Mothership or equivalent.
--------------------------------------
A document reviewer asked a very important question: "How does an ENERGY PROJECTION UFO work?"
Answer: I don't know how remote-control UFO manifestation works, but UFO behavior shows that it does work.
Striking a match is similar. You begin with a cold match, strike the match, and make fire. No need to know any of the Physics, Chemistry, or even Quantum Mechanics involved. You just do it and you see the result. You made fire.
As noted, UFO behavior in many instances requires non-solid, zero mass, to do what is observed. It happened, so there was a way for the event to happen, and that does not depend on our understanding of the mechanism.
Additionally, pilots and other people who have close contact with a UFO for several minutes often report radiation burns and other injuries, probably from exposure to strong microwaves. Is primary radiation emitted by the operating UFO, or is the radiation surrounding a UFO spillover from the energy transmission beam that powers the UFO and is wider than the part of the beam that the UFO absorbed? Either way, you could be burned or otherwise injured by close contact longer than a very few minutes.
Unexplained pregnancy is also reported after close contact with a UFO.
------------------------------
How to test the ENERGY PROJECTION UFOs idea (in the rather unlikely event that the UFO cooperates)?
UFOs seem able to outrun all conventional aircraft and may be able to lock onto and maintain constant separation and position from aircraft. That would make testing a wild UFO very difficult. UFOs ARE US doesn't do rentals.
Well, a first step might be to consider an airborne UFO as occupying the center of a sphere a thousand feet or so in radius. Load a jet fighter aircraft or helicopter (depending on UFO speed) with an assemblage of instruments that measure and record gravity, magnetism, full-spectrum electromagnetic radiation, full-spectrum infrared to gamma ray photon radiation, temperature, high-frequency 'dog whistle' sound, and other sensors. For a UFO that landed or is hovering almost at ground level use the same testing equipment transported by helicopter or truck. In all cases, this is a risky operation because UFOs are known to shut down engines in nearby vehicles and could cause the aircraft to crash.
Fly the airplane in a spherical or cylindrical path around the UFO and see if anything is detected. An abrupt increase in energy in one area could mean you found the Energy Projection beam linking the UFO and Mothership.
Similarly equipped mobile laboratories that can be quickly sent, preferably by pickup truck or helicopter, to a semi-permanent ground location experiencing ongoing UFO activity (such as Piedmont, Missouri, USA), could record even more data.
A network of low-tech backyard UFO Detectors, cheap and easy to build but limited in sensitivity, could track the arrival and disappearance of UFOs and their flight paths. If a backyard UFO detector cost $500 to build and install, 2,000 of them as a regional network could be put in place for $1,000,000. It is possible that an old Analog (pre-digital) television set could be tuned to receive and display a useful generated or reflected signal that would indicate nearby UFO activity.
Data acquisition provides the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. The fun part is data interpretation. Don't be embarrassed. Be really, really, CREATIVE.
What does this all mean? Are Alien living beings involved? Artificial Intelligence beings? Galactic Tourist Cruise Ships? Did an ancient Alien race set this up, move on, and forget to switch off the power before leaving? Are we a Galactic Bio-Preserve and UFOs are the equivalent of Whale Watching Cruise Boats?
Is there a Geological UFO attraction? UFOs are common in southeast Missouri, USA, above a Gravity-interpreted Precambrian Asteroid Impact Structure 120 miles in diameter. The impact of an Asteroid estimated to have been 10 to 12 miles wide blasted completely through the Crust into the upper Mantle Asthenosphere, started a Mantle Plume that caused eruption of the St. Francois Volcanic Terrain, and emplaced still-buried igneous rocks enriched with Iron Oxide minerals. Just coincidence? Or is the interpreted Impact Structure an attractant causing the frequently observed regional UFO activity? The center of Asteroid impact is Reynolds County, Carter County, and at Piedmont in western Wayne County, and is a known, UFO activity-rich area. Adjacent Madison County, Missouri, appears to be a UFO Highway but not a destination. UFOs pass by overhead but have not recently been observed to land. There are more large Impact Structures around the world. Is there increased UFO activity at the other Impact sites?

⦁ Crustal architecture beneath the southern Midcontinent (USA) Document at bottom of page mentions iron mineralization.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are we livestock? We do seem to be a biological experiment similar to improving cattle breeds. Are UFOs Cowboys "Riding The Range" and looking after the herd? When is the Roundup and drive to market going to happen?
What have UFOs been doing here for the past 25,000+ documented years and what is their End Game?
Is this all a Computer Game Tournament and the players will turn off the simulation program when the Winner finds out we know what they are doing? Possibilities abound!
Reverse Engineering research is a good way to begin investigation of something poorly understood. If an event happened or a device exists there was a cause and is a data trail. Start at 'now' and work back toward the beginning. Geologists commonly do this during exploration for Natural Resources.
Dig into modern and historical records describing UFO Behavior. Include reports of Paranormal manifestations that can't be explained by science, including mythical monsters and their adversaries such as Hercules and the Hydra. Might such tales recount events that seemed very real to the participants and observers, but actually were high-quality Holographic projections? What was their purpose?
When you exhaust historical human records and myths begin searching Paleontology. Be really creative. Was the Cretaceous Asteroid impact that killed the Dinosaurs an accident or a deliberate act to promote the rise of mammals, eventually evolving Humans instead of Lizard People? There are plenty of big Space Rocks in the ASTEROID BELT between Jupiter and Mars. UFOs had enough time to do Asteroid orbital adjustment and probably the means to do that. Earth's future location is completely predictable for targeting. Were the Geologically rather sudden appearances of shelled organisms, trilobites, fish, land plants, insects, and other life forms due only to natural evolution, or did an overseeing entity participate, and how, and why?
The farther back in time, the more tenuous the potential associations. Cast your largest possible metaphorical information net, then sort your catch.
Most of that data and apparent associations will be dead ends, but look very carefully. There might be a diamond or two in that pile of intellectual gravel.
Tuck all of it away in your memory. You never know when some currently considered 'ridiculous' information tidbit may receive future approval and become useful. Eventual validation of some theories such as a spherical Earth, originally declared ridiculous and impossible based on early observation, and now considered correct, has a rich scientific history. Earth really is NOT FLAT. Earth isn't a sphere, either. Recent Geophysical study says Earth is an Oblate Spheroid, 20 miles wider across the equator than Pole to Pole.
I do exploration for oil, gas, and minerals, and I am quite familiar with instances of the eventual usefulness of previously "worthless" information. That drab, rusty splotch of iron oxide on a rock might be a key factor in future development of an Ore Deposit Conceptual Model leading to new discoveries of gold. It happens.
Behavior requires Intent and Ability. Policy drives Intent. Does modern UFO behavior support evidence spanning millions of years in a pattern that might suggest Policy? Or, do recent data indicate only Randomness?
Many permutations to consider. Will individual observations ever coalesce into a Big Picture? Shift your imagination into high gear and turn it loose. Occam's Razor probably holds the answer. FOLLOW THE MONEY usually is a fruitful research method ONCE YOU HAVE DEFINED THE CURRENCY. The currency will NOT be modern dollars-and-cents money.
Look at the sky next time you go outside on a clear, very dark, Moonless night.
Some of the lights in the sky may not be stars.
Stay tuned.
