In the X Factor producer's experience, a recommendation by a friend, co-worker, teacher or family member to audition is where real undiscovered talent comes from.

Best of luck from the producers of the X Factor and all of us here at Kansas City News.

Royals 2012 Home Opener Preview - Kansas City News

The Royals 2012 home opener is just hours away! After starting the season off with a road trip out west, Kansas City will play its first home game this afternoon at 3:10 p.m. The Royals (3-3) will take on the struggling Cleveland Indians (1-4).

For the second year in a row, Luke Hochevar (1-0) will get the start in Kansas City’s home opener. Hochevar looked impressive in his first outing of the season, allowing only two runs in 6 innings pitched against the Angels. While Cleveland has looked terrible so far this season, the Royals will face one of the league’s better pitchers in Derek Lowe. In his only start this season, Lowe threw seven scoreless innings against Toronto to lead the Indians to their only win of the season. The pitching matchup suggests that this could be a very low scoring affair; however Hochevar has struggled against Cleveland in the past. In 2011, the Royals’ Ace went 1-2 against the Indians with a 5.31 ERA. Derek Lowe has struggled against the Royals in his career, with a 5.72 ERA in games played in Kansas City.

After a disappointing end to its series against the A’s, Kansas City has a great opportunity to take this series and build some momentum. The Royals’ next three series are at home, and several AL Central matchups loom in the near future as well. A hot start could catapult this team into playoff contention, and this year, the Royals seem capable of living up to their early hype.

This will be the first home opener for both Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas, as both were called up from the minor leagues during last season. The Indians went 12-6 against the Royals last season, and won 4 out of the 5 games played in Kansas City.

Late Collapse Costs Royals Series Vs. A's - Kansas City News

There are “tough” ways to lose a baseball game, and then there is the manner in which the Royals dropped last night’s extra-inning affair to the A’s. After taking the lead in the top of the 12th off of a Billy Butler double, reliever Jonathan Broxton allowed two runs and Oakland had a walk-off victory. It was how Broxton gave up the last run that has Kansas City fans fuming.

After former Royal Coco Crisp tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with an RBI grounder, Broxton’s control issues began. He hit Yoenis Cespedes on the first pitch of the at-bat to load the bases, then beamed Jonny Gomes on the first pitch of his at-bat to give Oakland the win. It was only the third time the A’s have won a game on a hit-by-pitch in the club’s history.

Broxton’s meltdown wasted some clutch hitting by two of Kansas City’s stars. Billy Butler and Alex Gordon both hit home runs and were responsible for all four of the Royals’ runs. The Royals had chances to add to their total, including a bases-loaded situation in the 5th, but were unable to capitalize.

The Royals’ return home tomorrow with a 3-3 record, and Kansas City can’t help but feel like it missed a golden opportunity to win its first two series of the year. There are some positive signs that should give fans hope – Kansas City’s starting pitching has been fantastic, and the Royals’ main offensive weapons are starting to find their groove. The Royals have a very easy April schedule, and there is no reason to doubt that Kansas City can emerge from the first month of the season with a winning record.

The Royals return to Kansas City tomorrow for the team’s home opener. Luke Hochevar (1-0) will start for Kansas City, while Derek Lowe (1-0) will start for the visiting Cleveland Indians. The Royals lost last year's home opener, 4-2, to the Angels.

UFO Sighting in Seoul Korea New Video Footage - Kansas City News

A closer analysis has been performed on the recent video of the UFO sighting in Seoul Korea from the window of an airplane. On April 7th, 2012, a passenger aboard a flight passing over Seoul, Korea captured some amazing footage of a UFO flying below the plane.  The video clearly shows a white, round cylindrical object flying into frame in the lower right corner, then swirling off upwards and out of frame.  The video is about 30 seconds in length and was taken by a passenger in an airplane while in flight.  This is the biggest and most widely reported UFO sighting in 2012 and certainly the most profound sighting since the UFO sightings over Mexico last year.  As we reported last year, the fact that most people are now carrying cameras and video recording devices in the form of their cell phones means more UFO sightings are bound to pop up.

This new UFO sighting video footage slows down the video shot from the airplane over Seoul, Korea so that you get a better look at the craft and it's relation to the city scape below and the airplane.  This footage has caused many to discredit the sighting stating that it doesn't make sense that the person would have just happened to turn on his video recording device (not sure if it was a video camera or a cell phone) just in time to capture the UFO crossing his path.  This has many people claiming that the UFO sighting over Seoul, Korea was indeed a fake, and that the video was doctored and edited.  Whether or not the video is real or fake, it is truly a great video, otherwise it could not have garnered such National attention.

We, at Kansas City News, have analyzed the video several times and do not find anything conclusive as to it's authenticity, and therefore we have to commit that this UFO sighting is plausible.  This also backs our previously stated theory that if UFO's do indeed exist, a lot more photos and video sightings will emerge due to the "pocket recorders" that most of the world's population now has on their person at all times.  We have already seen a massive increase in new UFO sightings in Kansas City, Lee's Summit, Raytown, Independence, Overland Park, Shawnee and Prairie Village in 2012 alone.  Just as the new video UFO sighting over Seoul, Korea, this either proves that UFOs do actually exist and that we are just better equipped to quickly snap photos and videos of them, or that along with the advancement of technology, so has the ability to create fake videos and doctor up photos using the latest editing software.  Either way, it sure makes great news!

Here is the video of the UFO sighting over Seoul, Korea - in regular speed and in slow motion, for your review, criticism, disbelief, amazement, or pure viewing pleasure, from your friends at Kansas City News...
