I have a pretty good instinct that tells me if someone is telling the truth or not. I sense that a story just shared from near Lake Wappapello in Missouri is legit as a camp director swears to have seen 3 lights moving strangely over the lake and I believe they sincerely believe what they're saying.

This is the beautiful Lake Wappapello State Park area in Missouri located northeast of Poplar Bluff

According to the National UFO Reporting Center, an eyewitness saw something odd over Lake Wappapello in Missouri around 9pm the night of October 2, 2025. Here's a snippet of their exact words explaining what they saw:

"I was sitting on a dock on the Northern shore of Lake Wappapello from about 8:45-10:00pm on Thursday, Oct 2, 2025. I was looking at the sky because I was making a star map for a camp I am running this weekend and wanted to ensure it was accurate. While working on the Western sky portion, I observed a yellow/gold circular light rise above the tree-line to the Northwest of the lake."

It was then that they saw what they thought was a low-flying craft, but then it began to dart left and right quickly before returning to its original spot.

"This happened again 3 times over the course of an hour, however on the last time I observed 3 objects—one that appeared like the original and then two that flew in a similar pattern Northwest of the object."

The report says the object zoomed off and disappeared in a matter of seconds leaving them clueless as to what they had witnessed. They also realize their story sounds beyond belief.

"I feel like I sound crazy and I am afraid no one will believe me, but I am really confused about what it was I was seeing. I’m a camp director and have spent so many nights outside stargazing but have never seen something like this."

It's very important to note that this person reported the sighting within a couple hours of experiencing what they saw. Any detective will tell you that the most reliable testimony is that which is captured as close to the event as possible. I also believe that a camp director like this person is would know what's normal in a night sky and what is not. It begs the question what are these strange objects that are more frequently being seen over Missouri and what are their intentions?
