What was the Strange Box Found in a Missouri Coal Mine?

The grandfather of a local man by the name of Vern W. told him a strange tale about something that happened in the 1920's. This event occurred in a coal mine near the small town of Fleming, Missouri, northeast of Kansas City in Ray County.

Vern's grandfather was working inside the mine along side other men, when they found a metal box buried inside the bituminous coal seam. Shocked at the find, the men carefully dug around the box. They were unable to open it, and gave it to the mine owner, who took it away quickly and put it in a safe place. The mine owner was Alfred Walton Fleming of St. Louis, who purchased the land and operated the coal mine.

Not long afterward, some men from the government came to visit Mr. Fleming, and demanded that he turn over the box, which he did. The men took the box away, and were never seen again. No one knows how the government found out about this, or exactly who these men were.

The question is, how did a metal box become embedded in coal that is millions of years old?  Why didn't the metal deteriorate over time? Could we be talking about time travel, or perhaps alien visitation at an earlier time?  Unfortunately, we will likely never know the answer to these questions.

In doing research for this article, I found it rather odd that there is little information available about Mr. Alfred Walton Fleming or this particular coal mine.

Another Giant Bird Spotted in Kansas City

In the early morning hours of July 3, 2020, an man and his friend saw a gigantic bird fly over their house. At 12: 50 a.m. the two were watching fireworks in their Waldo neighborhood when they both spotted a huge winged creature flying nearly directly over their heads. "It was gigantic - the size of a Cessna plane and flying at about the same altitude as a plane," said the witness.

The witness said that the bird was clearly visible under the full moon. He reported this on the Facebook group Worldwide Mothman, Winged creature, and Sasquatch Sightings.

They had seen a series of approximately 20 white lights in the sky just prior to seeing the bird headed southwest to northeast in the same direction as the giant bird. The lights were white, and they were random, not in a single file line as the Starlink Satellites. They also created big flashes, but unlike fireworks. The witness said that they were much slower moving than shooting stars.

Waldo is an older neighborhood located near 75th Street and Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri. It is a busy area with lots of houses, businesses, and traffic.

It is speculated by some that these gigantic winged creature may be extraterrestrials, due to the fact that many are seen at or near the same time as UFOs. If they are a creature from Earth, then why has no one captured one or obtained more evidence of their existence?  To see something such as this in the country is one thing, but their multiple appearances in cities is baffling to say the least. To date, I have received 47 reports of giant winged creatures, with most of them being in cities, and in most cases near wooded areas with a water source. Waldo has no such area.

The mystery continues...
