Disk over MO bootheel

I had just finished eating lunch and was heading east out of Portageville, MO on Route 162 to see a co-worker. I had just passed over the I-55 overpass when I noticed in front of me and at approximately 25 degrees above the horizon a very intense light, from an arc welder, with a very blinding deep blue color. I pulled over on to the side of road and was almost hit by a car approaching me from the rear. The object zig-zagged in a "z" pattern and stopped, intense light stopped but was replaced by a less intense silver-gray giving way to the outline of a disk shaped object. This state of dull gray lasted 3-4 minutes. The Object just hovered but wobbled in placed until it became stationary. About a minute later it began to move north and vanished. Incident occurred on April 12, at approximately 1:45 pm.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with the witness, and we found him to be quite eloquent, and credible. He describes himself as holding a Ph.D. degree. PD
