Large Humanoid Creature in Lee's Summit in 2014

Tony Degn was walking to the store in his Lee's Summit neighborhood in the summer of 2014 at 1:00 a.m. one morning when he noticed that the moon was unusually bright and close. He then noticed that the moon moved instantly from one part of the sky to another, then began to follow him. Tony decided to ignore this and continued to the store, then returned home.

At 2:00 a.m. Tony was compelled to once again to go outside and take a walk, although he cannot recall why. As he walked along the sidewalk and approached a streetlight the streetlight went out. He noticed movement in front of a nearby bush. Degn was astonished to see a black humanoid creature with arms and legs on all fours. It had white sharp teeth and stared at him in a menacing manner. The height of the creature's hunched over back was approximately four feet. It scampered into the bush and out of sight. Tony took off running to get away from it.

Huge UFO Spotted over KC February 6, 2020

Drawing of UFO

PRESS RELEASE A huge unidentified flying object was spotted over Kansas City, Missouri at 7:45 pm on February 6, 2020.  Close up Missouri MUFON Assistant State Director Margie Kay went out for a few minutes at 7:45 pm and noticed a huge craft west of her position at 23rd Street and Noland Road in Independence. It appeared like the object was only a mile away and larger than a 747. There were brilliant white lights all over the craft and one red light on the left side. The lights were reflecting off of shiny silver metal which appeared to be in a cigar shape. At first, Kay thought it was a plane landing at the Downtown Kansas City airport, and it would have needed to turn in order to do so, but soon realized that it was flying very low - at approximately 2,000 feet or lower and slow-moving from North to South at it was gigantic. It did not turn in the direction (west) it would have needed to land. The object then either disappeared or turned all of its lights out before Kay could obtain video. Margie immediately called Jean Walker, KC Section Director for Missouri MUFON, and found that she had just seen the same object in the western skies from her position at 57th and Sterling Avenue, which is two miles closer to the object. Both women observed the object for 20-30 seconds. With this information from the two locations, the investigators have determined that the object was approximately three miles from 23rd and Noland Rd in Independence, making it absolutely huge - perhaps four or five times the size of a commercial airliner. Other witnesses: Two other witnesses from Blue Springs, including a MUFON investigator, and one witness from Sugar Creek also reported seeing the same object on the same night at approximately the same time. Another witness who was at 40 Hwy and Sterling saw an object of the exact same description and location on Monday, February 10.  The witness in Sugar Creek also heard a horrible loud mechanical noise on February 11 and went outside to see what it was. She found many of her neighbors outside looking up but no one could see anything. The sound continued for several minutes. We don't know if there is any connection to the February 6 and 10 sightings.  PLEASE FILE A REPORT IF YOU SAW THIS UFO OR ANY OTHERS. Kansas City MUFON is investigating this case and would like to hear from other persons who may have seen this object. Please contact Margie Kay at 816-833-1602 or momufonasd@gmail.com or Jean Walker at jmwblondie@hotmail.com. Missouri MUFON is a chapter of the International Mutual UFO Network www.missourimufon.org

Bird Morphs into a UFO

Photo of a Hawk from Google

On February 11, 2020 Valerie Hoover called to tell me that she had just had a bizarre sighting over her property in Sugar Creek, Missouri. 

At approximately 3:00 - 3:15 pm Valerie was outside on her back porch.  She looked up in the sky over the field and thought she saw an eagle, but the head wasn’t white, so she thought it was a hawk. It was circling around just like a hawk. Valerie was afraid it was going to get her small Yorkie,  then it put its wings next to its body as if it were going to soar down, but instead, it formed into a dark round disk-shaped UFO and took off at the speed of light to the Southeast and was out of sight in a second. Valerie realized that whatever she was looking at was definitely not a bird. 

This location is the site of multiple UFO, orb, alien, and unidentified creature sightings not only witnessed by Valerie but by multiple investigators, including myself and KC MUFON Section Director Jean Walker. The house is close to the Missouri River. 

This is the second winged creature sighting at this location (see my other reports). 

Several such winged creature sightings were associated with UFOs or orbs of light at the same time. This is the first event reported in which the flying creature morphed into a UFO. Perhaps these unusual winged creatures are actually not of Earth but are extraterrestrials. Until we get more photos and video this phenomenon will remain unsolved.

Two independent witnesses see a giant winged creature

01/31/20 Kansas City, Missouri. As she was driving north on Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri at 7:50 pm Marlene A. saw a gigantic dark flying bird that looked similar to a pterodactyl. It had a huge beak, long legs with feet, and a wingspan that would have been as wide as the street. The creature flapped its wings several times, then Marlene lost sight of it.

01/31/20 4:30 pm. Pat D. Saw an all black winged bird flying overhead as she drove on College at 119^th Street in Overland Park, Kansas. The bird was at treetop level and it was gliding. Pat said that it did not flap its wings and that it looked similar to a raven except much larger. She could not estimate the size, except to say that it was the largest bird she's ever seen. 

Could these two sightings have been related? The two locations are just a few miles apart. 

Are the Giant Winged Creature Reports Related to UFOs?

To date, Quest Investigation Group has taken 35 reports of giant winged creatures in the state of Missouri, with most sightings occurring near the Missouri River. Several sightings have occurred just before or after UFOs were spotted in the same locations.

In one location at Sugar Creek, Missouri the witness has seen multiple unidentified flying objects, orbs, an alien, and a giant bird with a huge wingspan that was larger than a small plane. This location seems to be a paranormal hot spot, and it is very close to the Missouri River.

In other cases in Missouri, witnesses reported seeing balls of light just prior to or after seeing a gigantic winged creature with bat-like wings. Balls of light have often been associated with UFOs.

During the MothMan sightings in Point Pleasant West Virginia, witnesses reported seeing UFOs over several months. Several people also had visits from Men in Black, which are associated with extraterrestrial visitations.

Could there be a connection between the giant winged creatures and alien craft?  It begs the question: Are these winged creatures actually aliens rather than Earthly beings?

Giant Winged Creature Report from 1919

The following is from Vern Windsor: 

"Margie, I remember a story my 8th grade teacher told the class about a sighting she had. This would have been around 1919 or 1920. She lived in Camden Missouri at this time. When she was a preteen her family was walking to church when a large winged thing swooped in front of her family, screamed at them, flew around them for a minute and then flew off to the north. She said they walked a little down the road and her mom asked her dad if he saw that thing. Her dad answered her with (paraphrasing here) "don't talk about that! We didn't see anything!" She told us the family tried once a few years later to talk about the flying thing and her dad got mad at them, yelling the same things."

Camden is a town in Ray County, Missouri, and part of the Kansas City metropolitan area within the United States. The population was 191 at the 2010 census. Camden was a Missouri River boat stop until the early 1900s and the Missouri River's Camden bend was cutoff after major river flooding, moving the new channel south.

Once again, a giant bird was spotted near the Missouri River. If the creatures are using the river as a food source it would make sense that there are so many sightings near the river.

Pterodactyl like creature spotted in Jackson County, Missouri

On January 27, 2020, I received a report from a woman regarding several sightings she has had along with her sister.

The sisters live near an undisclosed lake area in Jackson County: R.H. and her sisters have seen a giant bird four times since 2016. The first time it was spotted sitting out on the ice on a lake at some distance from their location. It never moved. 

The next two times they saw the same creature in flight and it looked like it was the size of a small plane, but it flapped its wings like a Pterodactyl. 

The fourth sighting was in January of 2020 when the women were looking for eagles with binoculars and saw this creature flying so high they couldn't see it with the naked eye. 

The women don't want to disclose the exact location because they don't want any harm to come to the creature. One woman feels that it may be something supernatural.

MothMan sighting in St. Louis in the summer of 2018

Michael R. reported today that he saw a gigantic bird-like creature with large wings and a human head flying over his rural property 50 miles west of St. Louis in the summer of 2018.

Many strange events have occurred at this location including UFO and humanoid/ET sightings by the witness. I've been to this site and found evidence of damages to trees that cannot be explained by experts, and other evidence of burning in the very tops of the trees. The witness has had multiple encounters here.

I'm adding this to the list of MothMan sightings. This makes sighting number 27 reported to date.

Giant Bird Sighting in Blue Springs, MO Nov 2018

I received the following information via email on January 8, 2020, after posting an article: 

"Hi Margie Kay,

I live in Blue Springs and in Nov 2018 I saw a massive black winged creature swoop down out of a tree on Briarwood in Blue Springs, MO. It flew over my car for about 50 yards and disappeared. The wings were huge as they expanded well beyond the width of my car.  I never saw a face so I don’t know if it was humanoid in appearance but I’ve lived in Apple Valley for 20 years and that’s the first time I witnessed anything like that.

This happened on two consecutive Thursday nights at the same location in Nov 2018, which I thought was odd, why Thursday? There was no sound and while I didn’t feel threatened it was scary. The first time it happened I was on my way to play pool (billards) so it was between 6:25 - 6:35 pm as our league starts at 7pm and I had my grandkids in my suv with me. The next week it was the same time frame and I was on the phone with a friend.
 
I don’t know if that helps with your records but I’ve had that information for a while and had. I idea who to share it with. Hopefully, you find it helpful.

Kind regards,

Samantha Belvoir."

50 Mothman/Giant Bird Reports in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois

Gigantic bird or Mothman sightings are on the increase in Missouri, Kansas and other states. To date, Un-X News has received 49 reports. Some reports were few and far between, but in 2019 we took at least 19 reports from witnesses who saw bird-like creatures with wing-spans of 10' to 36' and 2020 has been a busy year so far. 

Descriptions of these creatures include: 

• Mothman
• Humanoid
• Ptetrosaour
• Pterodactyl
• Bat-Man
• Thunderbird
• Winged-Creature

It is possible that people are seeing the same type of creature, but call it by different names. Some people have asked if the creature being seen is the Mothman and if it is a portent of a coming disaster. Of course, we don't know the answer to that question, but people still remember the Point Pleasant bridge disaster in West Virginia in the 1960's and the Mothman sightings for several months prior to that event. Since there have been so many sightings in Missouri and Illinois and other states, with no disasters, I'd say it is safe to assume that it doesn't have anything to do with a portent of doom.  

Photos by Tony Degn

One man was able to capture a couple of photos of one of these Mothman type beings in flight in 2014. It had the body of a man and gigantic black bat-like

wings. Tony Degn is an ex-police officer. He walked outside his home in Lee's Summit, Missouri one day when he noticed a helicopter flying and took some photos of a helicopter. When he looked at the photos later, he noticed a large humanoid type creature with legs and large wings flying next to the helicopter. This is the only photograph by a witness that I've been able to obtain to date.

Shortly after this encounter, Tony was out walking in the same neighborhood off of Woods Chapel Road and 291 Highway one day when he noticed a single low-level cloud measuring 30' feet in width at approximately 300 feet in altitude in the sky. He stopped to look at this unusual cloud when a humanoid with large wings emerged from the base of the cloud, flapping its wings. The creature, who was all black in color with bat-like wings with a 15-foot or larger wingspan, stared at Tony, then re-entered the cloud and did not re-emerge.

 In December of 2019, the same witness saw a humanoid creature with bat-like wings fly down near his vehicle as he drove on 291 Highway and 24 Highway in Independence. The creature stared menacingly at Tony, then flew off. It seemed to have trouble keeping its heavy body airborne and struggled under the weight (see my prior article about this encounter).  

A Compilation of Reports Taken by Un-X News and Other Investigators: 

• 1919: Camden, MO. A local radio producer reports that his 8th-grade teacher told him that when she was a child in the 1930's she and her family saw a gigantic bird with a human face circle them very close, scream at them, then fly off towards the hills. 
  
• 1955-56: Kansas City, Missouri near 47th & Denver close to the limestone quarry and KC Zoo/Swope Park. Giant birds: Multiple sightings of a very large winged creature: James Bair and his family and neighbors saw very large winged creatures over a two-year span. James was 8 and 9 years old at the time. In one instance his father called him outside and said excitedly, "Take a looks at that great big eagle on top of the garage!" Then, he thought better of it and said it was a huge owl. But neither of them knew what it actually was. James said that he saw several of these creatures standing next to the banks of Brush Creek, too. "They stood about 5' 8" tall, and they never made a sound," James said. The neighbors and other family members saw these unknown creatures on multiple occasions, sometimes flying in the air, sitting in trees, or standing on the ground on two legs. They seemed to make appearances after dusk and not during the day. James surmises that they may have been hiding out in the caves at the quarry during the day, and came out at night to eat, presumably fish from the creek or chickens and other animals that many people had in those days. 
• 1984:  Bat-Like Creature Sighted at Monkey Mountain near Blue Springs, MO (East of KC). A man and woman were hiking in the area at dusk and were shocked to see a 7' tall black humanoid creature standing next to a tree. It fluttered its wings but did not extend them. (See a previous article for details)
• 1985: Pterosaur. St. Louis MO -  as reported by Jonathan David Witcomb in his book and blog "Live Pterosaurs in America," a witness and her father were at a family barbeque when they heard a horrific screech and looked up to see a real live Pterosaur that was the size of a small aircraft. The wings were line bat wings, and it had a long beak with razor-line white teeth. They got a good look at the creature because it was only about 50 feet above them.  See the full article here: https://www.livepterosaurs.com/inamerica/blog/?p=1543
• Early 1990's: Thunderbird, Maryville, Missouri.  From thecryptocrew.com:  A family saw a huge, monstrous dark gray bird apparently stuck in the mud on a river bank with its wings flailing violently.  The witnesses said that the bird had a least a 20-foot wingspan. 
• 1996: St. Louis, MO. Pterodactyl. A man and his brother and cousin were fishing in a river west of St. Louis, Missouri when they looked up to see a huge dark brown pterodactyl-like creature fly 300' overhead. They all dropped their fishing poles. The witness said that the creature was gigantic, and it never flapped its wings but seemed to be gliding on air currents. They could not identify it as anything other than a pterodactyl.
  
• 2000: Kansas City, MO Humanoid with wings near Swope Park. A couple saw a gigantic black humanoid bird with a human face and a beak near Swope Park in Kansas City. They were so stunned that they ran inside the house, dropping their groceries on the way. 
• 2000: Independence, MO. Frank K. from NE Independence, Missouri suddenly had an inexplicable feeling to look up, and when he did he saw a gigantic pterodactyl-like dark brown creature flying high overhead. It floated on the currents and never flapped its wings during the duration of the sighting which lasted for two to three minutes. 
• 2004: St. Louis, Missouri:  As reported by Jonathan David Witcomb in his book and blog "Live Pterosaurs in America," "A man and his grandmother saw a large apparently smooth-skinned creature, on July 15, 2004, flying about a hundred feet above an Arby’s restaurant in St. Louis . . .  it did have the diamond-shaped tail end and its wings were at least 20 feet wide."
• August 2005: Kansas City, MO. As reported by Ken Gerhard in his book "Encounters With Flying Humanoids," Investigator Lon Strickler reported that two sisters in the Swope Park area of Kansas City heard a loud noise and looked up to see a gigantic bird with a 12' -18' wingspan hopping from tree branch to tree branch. It had leathery skin and batlike wings, a curved beak, with dark eyes. The two women ran inside the house and one of them fainted. 
• 2011: KC MO near Swope Park (continued from the above report from the year 2000) The same creature returned in the evening and made a sound like a dog being choked, then cavorted among the street lights. 
• 2011: KC MO near Swope Park. (continued from the above report) A cousin saw the same creature when he left their house one evening. It hopped behind the taillights of his car. It had gigantic wings and a fat body. 
• May, 2011: Independence, MO. Huge Strange Bird: A woman and her two children saw a gigantic dark brown bird with a long tail and a puff at the end of it fly over their house in Independence, MO during the afternoon.

• September, 2012: Independence, MO. Unknown Giant Bird. Three people were standing in a yard in Independence, Missouri during the day when they saw a very large black bird with a large beak fly at approximately 800 feet overhead. They got three photos photo and tried to identify it comparing it to known birds, but could find nothing that matched. the witnesses estimated the wing span to be at least 12' in width. See the photo below:
  

• 2012: Lake Jacomo. Humanoid with wings: A woman and her husband were driving near Lake Jacomo in the evening when they saw a black or dark 7' tall +  humanoid creature standing 25' feet from their vehicle. It appeared to have wings and a human-type male body.

• June 28, 2015: Eminence, MO Bat-like creature: As reported to Missouri MUFON:  A woman witnessed a strange bat-like tall creature while driving on a road near Eminence, MO, near Blue Springs on June 28, 2015. According to the witness the creature had leather-like wings which were folded at its side and large cat-like eyes. She was unable to go back to get a better look at the creature.
• Nov. 2016: West Alton, MO. Mothman: A woman and her son saw a strange giant bird/man-creature with legs on a river bank then watched it dive into the river as if it were catching fish. (See my article in this blog: Mothman Sighting in West Alton, MO in 2016) 
• November 2017: Salem, MO: Three giant bird sightings: Investigator Emmett Reary from Salem, Missouri said that he has had a number of giant bird sightings reported to him from the Dent County area.  Two witnesses saw birds with the wingspan of the house it flew over.  Several other witnesses east of Salem, MO saw a giant black bird that swept down on them while they were having a barbecue at dusk. 
• May 2018: Independence, MO: Supernatural creature? A woman left work one evening in Independence, MO and heard footsteps coming after her from behind, so she quickly jumped into her car. Gigantic black wings encircled her Dodge Charger and covered all the windows from the back forward, including the windshield, then it dissipated and disappeared. She thought it must have been something supernatural. 
• May 2018: Independence, MO. My own giant bird sighting: I was outside on my side deck when movement caught my eye - I saw a gigantic set of dark grey wings approximately 25-30 feet in width and stretched out in the trees approximately 150 feet away. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I could see a central figure standing on a big branch. Something made a noise in a tree near me and I looked in that direction to see three smaller (24" tall) gray birds in the tree, then looked back at the large creature but it was no longer there. I can't explain it. 
• Summer, 2018: West of St. Louis: Creature with a human head. Michael R. was driving near his rural property 50 miles west of St. Louis when he saw a giant winged creature with a human head flying on the highway in front of him. It was being chased and attacked by drones. (Video is being analyzed). This was reported in January of 2020. 
• November 2018: Blue Springs, MO. A woman saw a gigantic black, winged creature swoop down over her car in Blue Springs, Missouri. Its wingspan was as big as the length of the car. 
• July 29, 2019: Independence, MO. Giant Bird. A man by the name of Alex was driving on 291 Highway in Independence, Missouri on Monday at 5:00 pm when he noticed a very large bird circling high overhead. He pulled over to get a better look at the dark-colored creature because the size was so amazing. Alex said that it was similar to the shape of an Eagle, but way too large to be a bird of that type and that it must have been something else. He was unable to get a photograph. 291 Highway is located on the east side of Independence, Missouri and crosses the Missouri River. 
• 2019: Overland Park, KS (near KCMO) Giant Bird. A woman and her husband were driving in Overland Park, Kansas when they saw a huge black bird with a 15' - 18' wingspan fly down to the ground and into some brush. The couple could not identify the type of bird and were unable to stop due to traffic. 
• 2019: KC MO. Giant Bird. A man and his son were driving near the downtown airport (near the Missouri River) during the day when they noticed a large black bird with huge wings flying overhead. They stopped the car in a parking lot and got out to watch the creature floating on the air currents. They both thought it looked like a pterodactyl with a huge wingspan. It had no feathers and very large beak. 
• June 20, 2019: Thunderbird? Sugar Creek, MO. Valerie H. saw a huge black bird with bat-like wings flying above a small aircraft over her house in Sugar Creek, MO near the Missouri River. It never flapped its wings or made a sound. She said that the creature was the size of the small-engine plane (approx 36' wingspan). It was flying too high to see details. Note: this location is the site of multiple UFO sightings.  
• June 20, 2019: Blue Springs, MO. Huge Bird. Terri T. heard birds screeching outside her house in Blue Springs, Missouri and thought a hawk was after them. She ran outside and was astonished to see a huge unidentifiable black bird with a 10'-12' wingspan flying away. She could not identify the bird even though she is an outdoorswoman. The other birds kept squawking for a couple of minutes. 
• November, 2019:Independence, MO. Hawk drone? I saw a hawk-like creature with a normal wingspan fly down over my car, and swoop close over my windshield and hood. Oddly, it had a humming mechanical sound like a drone.Could this have been a UFO?  
• December 2019: Independence, MO. Mothman. While driving south on 291 Highway in Independence, MO Tony Degn saw a humanoid with gigantic bat-like wings fly towards his vehicle, stare at him, then fly away. (see above description)
• December 2019: Trucker sees a seven foot tall humanoid with wings at O'Hare Airport: https://alien-ufo-sightings.com/2019/12/trucker-reports-seven-foot-tall-person-with-wings-near-ohare-international-airport/
• December 31, 2019: Kansas City, Missouri. Giant Bird: As she was driving north on Wornall Road in Kansas City, Missouri at 7:50 pm Marlene A. saw a gigantic dark flying bird that looked similar to a pterodactyl. It had a huge beak, long legs with feet, and a wingspan that would have been as wide as the street. The creature flapped its wings several times, then Marlene lost sight of it as she drove.
• December 31, 2019 4:30 pm. Overland Park, Kansas. Huge Bird. Pat D. Saw an all black winged bird flying overhead as she drove on College at 119^th Street in Overland Park, Kansas. The bird was at treetop level and it was gliding. Pat said that it did not flap its wings and that it looked similar to a raven except much larger. She could not estimate the size, except to say that it was the largest bird she's ever seen. 
• January 2020: East Jackson County. FOUR Sightings at an Undisclosed lake area in Jackson County. Pterodactyl: R.H. and her sisters have seen a giant bird four times since 2016. The first time it was sitting out on the ice and never moved. The next two times they saw it in flight and it looked like it was the size of a small plane but it flapped its wings like a Pterodactyl. The fourth time was in January of 2020 when the women were looking for eagles with binoculars and saw what they think is the same creature flying so high they couldn't see it with the naked eye. 
• February 11, 2020: Sugar Creek, MO. UFO/Bird. Valerie H. saw a hawk-like bird morph into a UFO and take off at incredible speed. See my article dated 2/16/2020 for more information.  
• February 1, 2020: A woman in Lee's Summit, Missouri reported seeing a very large black bird clinging to the top portion of a light pole near her house. It was a foggy night and she does not recall seeing details about the creature, only that it was unusually large and had wings that were not extended. 
• March 16, 2020: Seneca, MO.Alien/bat/bird: A man was camping in a rural area when he had the feeling that something was watching him. He looked up and saw a huge transparent winged creature with humanoid legs and bat-like face and ears standing on the ground just ten feet away from him. The creature seemed to be shocked that the man was able to see it and approached menacingly, then bit the man on the face, drawing blood. It then ran off and disappeared into the woods. The witness believes that the creature may have been an alien rather than a bird/man. 
  
• May 14, 2020: South Kansas City Giant Bat: R.L. was lying in bed and looking out his window at approximately 10:30 pm when he saw a huge black bat-like creature with bat-shaped wings and a 3' wingspan fly towards his window, then swoop away. The next night he saw a string of lights outside which broke into multiple colored lights. (Note: A check with MO Conservation indicates there are no bats that size in Missouri)
• May 14, 2020: South Kansas City, MO: Lerone P. was visiting a friend at 81st. near 71 Hwy when he noticed a strange shadow on the ground. He looked up and saw a man-sized humanoid creature with huge wings and a 3' long tail flying silently overhead and heading away from him. Lerone did not notice any features as the face and front were not visible. The creature was gliding and did not flap its wings. It flew low (approximately 80 feet or less from the ground) and out of sight. The witness stated that this area is known for UFO sightings and strange events.
• July 3, 2020: Waldo area of Kansas City, MO: A man and his friend spotted multiple bright white lights in the sky, then saw a gigantic bird the size of a Cessna airplane fly overhead from southwest to northeast.  See the article I posted on Jul 8, 2020 for more information. 
• August 5, 2020: Oak Grove, MO: A man driving for Uber saw a gigantic humanoid creature with wings fly across Interstate 70 at 2:00 pm as he drove west on the highway. The shadow on the road was at least 20' across.
  

Note that the June 20, 2019 sightings of winged creatures occurred on the same day as a mass UFO sighting over Kansas City. Perhaps the two events are connected (See my earlier article about the UFO sighting). During the Mothman scare in Point Pleasant, New Jersey people also saw UFOs, and were visited by Men in Black, and some speculate that there is a relationship. One has to wonder if these humanoid flying creatures are in fact from Earth or elsewhere. 

In doing research I've found that there are many reports of humanoid flying creatures and gigantic birds in Kansas City and Chicago, and a few in St. Louis. What is it about these two cities that the creature is attracted to? Perhaps it is water, which both cities have plenty of, but there is something else to consider. Most of the sightings have occurred in the Chicago area over the years. It may be possible that there is a larger colony of these creatures in the Chicago area, and they followed the Illinois River to the Mississippi River and the St. Louis area, then followed the Missouri River to the Kansas City area. This is just speculation of course, but large creatures such as these would certainly need a water source. Food sources nearby and in the rivers would be abundant as well.
