Missouri MUFON reports that multiple witnesses observed the same large unidentified aerial object from four separate locations in Missouri including near KCI Airport, Smithville, Richmond, and Cameron in the early morning hours of August 10, 2022. It is estimated that the size of the object was 1/4 mile wide.
1. A husband and wife in Smithville, Missouri saw a very large disk-shaped craft with rectangular windows on the side at 5:00 am on the morning of August 10. It approached from the south, then turned east. It was low in the sky and estimated to be at least 300 feet in length. The craft moved slowly and did not change its speed. The two witnesses said that there was no sound, no wings or tail, no exterior lights, and no emissions. They wondered how something that large could keep airborne, especially at the slow speed it traveled.
“The strangest thing is that there was this weird fog on the ends of the object, partially obscuring the craft,” said one witness. “I’m actually having a difficult time dealing with what I saw.”

2. At 5:12 am Josh Fetters saw something in the sky on the same morning, on his way to work. He said "I was able to get a somewhat blurry photo of it, as well as a blurry video. For some reason my camera wouldn’t focus on the object very well. I was traveling on 435 S toward Kansas City, you come around a curve right before Cookingham Rd exit and there is a water tower on the left side of the highway. I pulled over right by the water tower (you can see it in my photo, I used this as a reference point). The object was traveling very slow. I saw it for about 1 minute and I lost it behind some clouds. At this point, I had to continue my trip to work."
3. At 5:15 am a man in Richmond, Missouri went out on his back porch and saw a very large, long, thin cigar shaped object that was a grey metallic color with vents on the side move very slowly across the sky. It had no lights. He watched it go from North to South for approximately 1 minute, then lost sight of it.
4. At 5:13 am a man in Blue Springs, Missouri saw a long thin grey object moving slowly across the sky heading east.
5. At 5:20 am a truck driver in Cameron, Missouri spotted what appears to be the same object, which he described as being extremely large, having rectangular windows lit from the inside with no exterior lights. Notably, the object was not obscured by fog. “It was at least the size of three football fields and flying so low and slow, that I couldn’t understand how it was flying,” said the witness.
A group of workers in Cameron also saw the object and posted it on social media.
More witnesses have come forward, but we don't have the details yet.
Missouri MUFON field investigators Margie Kay, Jean Walker and James Bair calculated that the object was only moving at approximately 90 MPH or less. They are working on this case, which is still under investigation. They ask that anyone who may have seen the same or a similar object come forward with a report to
www.mufon.com. An investigator will be assigned to the case.
This is an ongoing investigation, and we will post new information as we receive it.
The Mutual UFO Network has been in operation since 1969 and is the largest civilian UFO investigative organization in the world.
