Strange Object Over Springfield, Missouri Described As Car-Sized
An eyewitness in Springfield, Missouri, on January 22, 2026, reported a low-flying, diamond-shaped object the size of a small car, moving from south to north with a metallic look and rounded edges, and with some red visible in the morning sun. The account appears on NUFORC’s site, and a short video was captured, though its clarity is limited. Possible natural explanations, such as optical effects from sun glare (sundogs, floaters, reflected light, or mirages), could account for some aspects, but none fully fit the description. The observer seemed convinced it was a real object, not a sun-induced illusion. Given only a single report and the timing near rush hour, there is skepticism about a mass sighting, though no firm conclusion is reached. Readers are invited to review the NUFORC report themselves.
