This UFO was observed over Republic, Missouri this year, but the video was just shared today on YouTube with the following eyewitness testimony:

I was driving and watched this UFO hovering then moving very slowly. It did move similarly to a blimp but was obviously not one. I pulled over at a gas station and I did get multiple photos and videos. When I arrived at my destination and tried to show my sister what I saw, it was gone, but we did see a helicopter flying in the direction of where I saw this weird thing. It was very big but made no noise at all.

Watch the original video for yourself and see if you can figure out what exactly they're seeing.

I don't know what it is, but I do know what it isn't. Based on its horizontal and not vertical movement and size, it's not a weather balloon. The only real-world aircraft I can compare it to is a troop-carrying helicopter. Whiteman Air Force Base is 2 hours to the north of Republic and Fort Leonard Wood is about 2 hours to the northeast. With those military bases that close, it is certainly possible this is a helicopter, but if that's the case it's a large one and last time I checked they make more sound than that object did.

It is by definition a UFO as no one has explained it yet. The truth is out there and up there.
