On March 31, 2026, a resident of Arnold, a suburb south of St. Louis, stepped out onto their front porch and saw what they described as a white, disc-shaped object hovering in the sky in broad daylight. They estimated it was about 100 yards long.

According to the report they filed with the National UFO Reporting Center, a long-running civilian database of sightings, the witness watched it for about 30 minutes and took video. Then they went back inside. When they came out again, the object was gone. Coast to Coast AM ran the story a week later and called the footage compelling.

That’s the extent of it. The witness wasn’t named, no clock time was given, and the report doesn’t say whether anyone else saw it. A size estimate like 100 yards is very hard to make for something in the sky without knowing how far away it is, which is why investigators treat such numbers cautiously. Daytime discs that hover for long periods are sometimes traced to balloons or reflections, but no one has published an analysis of this video.

NUFORC receives thousands of reports a year, and most get no follow-up. This one got a write-up, and nothing more.
