Missouri, May 10, 2010 - Silver disk over Missouri River. MUFON Case # 23464.

Witness was driving Northwest on Highway 273 towards Weston, MO and noticed a shiny object to the West of him over the Missouri River.

As he got closer he could make out a silver disk-shaped object that was moving slowly from a South-North direction.

He called his wife to get a number of someone to call and got my number off of the MOMUFON website.

He estimated the object to be 1/2 - 1 mile away from him, at 40 degrees off the horizon and very large. It did not change direction or speed.

Witness said he would call me back after he got home but had not done so yet.

Note: there are other recent sightings in this area. Weston is just across the Missouri River and Ft. Leavenworth is on the other side.
