A Missouri witness reported a cigar-shaped object the size of "two or three 747s" moving in and out of clouds on September 1, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The object then suddenly moved backwards, "shot forward very very fast, then 90 degrees to the right, and 90 degrees forward again, and disappeared."

The witness says the object was moving "many times faster than a jet fighter."

No town name was mentioned in the public portion of the MUFON report. No images or video were provided.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man made. If Missouri MUFON State Director Debbie Ziegelmeyer investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Missouri, September 1, 2010 - Fast moving object changed direction several times. MUFON Case # 25261.

Phone interview taken by Margie Kay in the words of the witness:

I was walking from my car to a restaurant when something in the sky caught my eye. It was moving very slowly just below the clouds and sometimes would go into the clouds, then come out again in and up and down and straight pattern, then it moved backward slightly and I realized it was not a plane. I saw no wings or tail, but it looked like a cigar shaped silver thing. Very large, like the size of two or three 747's. All of a sudden, after it moved backwards, it shot forward very very fast, then 90 degrees to the right, and 90 degrees forward again and disappeared. I'd say it was going many times faster than a jet fighter. I've never seen anything like it. Other people must have seen it, too. Now I'm a believer in UFOs.
