Recently, law enforcement officers in Crawford County, Missouri pulled over what appeared to be an alien spacecraft traveling down the interstate.
On the evening of July 1, 2024, deputies from the Crawford County Sheriff's Office spotted a mysterious vehicle committing a lane violation.
After closer inspection, they realized this was no ordinary car, it looked more like a 'spacecraft' from another world.
In a Facebook post, the Crawford County Sheriff's Office described the unusual encounter in a lighthearted manner, referring to the driver of the spacecraft-like vehicle as "friendly humanoids, who have come in peace."
The driver of the space-age vehicle, which had an expired Indiana license plate, was pulled over for a traffic violation.
According to Public Information Officer and Undersheriff Major Adam Carnal, the driver of the spacecraft-like vehicle understood the potential for lane violations due to the wind, traffic, and the size and aerodynamics of his unusual vehicle.
"With the wind/traffic of the interstate plus the size and aerodynamics of his vehicle, he understood that the potential for lane violations existed," they said.
Carnal noted that due to the good nature of the driver and the interesting nature of the vehicle, the department decided to share the encounter on social media for the community to enjoy.
According to the sheriff's office, the driver of the spacecraft-like car was en route to Roswell, New Mexico, for a festival.
Roswell is well-known for the 1947 event when a supposed UFO crashed. This led to many conspiracy theories and guesses about visits from aliens for many years.
Great little car. I want one. Dress up in a shiny cellphane costume and drive this thing all over the place. Watch the phone lines light up as people report a flying saucer gliding over the highway, one user said.
Can’t wait for the day when this is the only type of illegal alien in our country, the second user commented.
It is good to see a story where the police act reasonably and with humor. It happens daily, but dog bites man does not make the news as fast as man bites dog, the third user joked.
The UFO was caught on video, showing a round craft with three rings of about 20 lights, floating just a few meters above the ground.
The event happened in late May, and the video quickly spread on social media. People in the area were shocked, with many thinking the object was an alien spacecraft.
One account describes the strange event as a circular object with about three rings of 20 lights, seen flying in the sky at the end of May.
The video shared on social media shows locals staring up at the object, which was hovering about 5 meters above them. Some people said there is now no reason not to believe in these things.
They claimed that US officials have confirmed the existence of beings from other dimensions and that there is proof of their bodies being examined in Peru.
However, not everyone believed that the sighting was proof of alien life.
Some people thought the object might have been a group of drones. Others noticed that the videos seemed to be digitally zoomed, which made them question if the footage was real.
