UFO Sightings in Missouri and Kansas (NUFORC data)

📍 Location

📝 Description

Update as of December 13, 2025: NUFORC’s interactive map continues to display state-level sighting counts for 2025. While the map aggregates reports by state, there is no single publicized Missouri-Kansas sighting tying all reports together. Publicly available NUFORC entries from Missouri and Kansas in 2025 show multiple independent observations (mostly orbs/lights) across several dates, with Kansas having at least one report from Olathe in March 2025 and Missouri multiple reports in spring 2025. Public-facing outlets have cited NUFORC’s nationwide totals for 2025 (thousands of reports in the first half of the year) and have noted that state-level counts can be in the high-20s for Missouri and double digits for neighboring states, but these numbers reflect aggregated reports rather than a singular event. Key recent MO/KS NUFORC sightings include: Olathe, KS (March 14, 2025) with a chevron/dark rectangle object; Moscow Mills, Augusta, Rayville, Lone Jack, Carl Junction, Tarkio, and nearby Ozark entries in MO (April–May 2025); and additional MO entries in April 2025. No official mass-sighting confirmation has been published; the data remain reports entered into NUFORC and summarized by state in the map.

🔍 Circumstances

Multiple independent NUFORC reports in Missouri and Kansas during spring 2025, with eyewitness accounts describing orbs, lights, and miscellaneous shapes seen from residential areas and across rural locations. Some reports mention stationary or slow-moving objects with long durations (tens of minutes in a few cases), occasional atmospheric phenomena or nearby aircraft influence notes, and a mix of shapes (orb/light, chevron, rectangle). The Kansas sighting cited publicly occurred in Olathe on or around March 14, 2025. The Missouri entries span several dates in April and May 2025, often involving private residences and local street/landscape observations.

👤 Physical Description

Missouri reports describe orbs or light formations (white, yellow, or pale colors), with some entries mentioning auras or haze around the object. One Kansas report describes a chevron/dark rectangular shape. Durations range from a few seconds to roughly an hour in some cases, with varying movement patterns (stationary, slow movement, or short transits).

ℹ️ Additional Details

This dataset reflects NUFORC’s ongoing reporting and does not indicate a single confirmed event. Specific MO/KS sightings cited in 2025 include: MO entries around April 2–29, 2025 (e.g., 188608, 188751, 188858, 189199, 189317, 189781, 189888); KS entry at Olathe (190609) on March 14, 2025. The state counts cited in various outlets (e.g., Missouri around the high-20s; Kansas in the low-to-mid double digits) are summaries of NUFORC submissions, not a single incident. For context, NUFORC’s nationwide first-half 2025 totals exceed 2,000 reports, with broad media coverage of the rise in reported sightings.
