Class B First-hand BFRO #65870

Possible daylight sighting near Missouri River and Katy Trail outside Hartsburg

May 2020 10:30 am Harsburg, Boone County, Missouri 1 witness

Account

On a sunny late morning the witness was driving slowly south on a rural road south of town. He saw a large upright figure crossing ahead, coming from the direction of the river and heading toward the bluffs. The figure walked very quickly with long strides and swinging arms across an open planted field. The witness followed briefly by vehicle but remained about 100 yards away before the figure disappeared into woods after about one to two minutes.
