ST. LOUIS (KMOX) -- It's Star Wars Day, and Missourians have been noticing some possible out-of-this-world forces a lot this year!
Over the course of 2021, there have been 20 reported UFO sightings in Missouri, several of which occurred in the greater St. Louis area, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
The reports include sightings of a firey UFO over St. Peters, a "bright green ball falling" from the sky in Fulton and a "mother ship" floating for four hours over Kansas City.
The NURC website suggests that the U.S. may be an increasingly popular destination for our other-worldly friends, as UFO sightings are up across the country.

Last year, the center received more than 7,200 sighting reports, compared to about 6,000 the year before. There have been a total of 1,866 reports filed in Missouri, with some claims dating as far back as the 1960s.
Prominent Missouri UFO Sightings in 2021:
3/19/21 – Hannibal: We saw what looked like a school of 100+ gray and white orbs ... They were floating through the air like a school of jelly fish at an altitude of around 300-500ft elevation.
2/20/21 - Kansas City: Mother ship over platte county, Missouri ... it randomly has drone or balls of light shot from it very often and float away.
2/15/21 - Wentzville: Star-looking UFO disappears into distance at great speed ... we both observed the bright star shrink very quickly before fading away, as if it were traveling away at great speed.
2/5/21 - Centralia: These unknowns have appeared nightly since 12/01/20. One night I was using my telescope to observe a meteor. I spotted something moving to my right.it was an oval shaped object with a light source projecting from the top and bottom.
1/8/21 - St. Peters: Firey UFO over Unincorporated Saint Peters ... It was most certainly aflame, and glowed a yellowish orange color and moved incredibly fast. It felt so close that I thought that it certainly had crashed into the neighborhood behind my house, but when I followed it back into the subdivision I found nothing.
1/5/21 - Richmond: Very low load slow aircraft flew over Missouri ... The more I have been thinking about it today some things are not normal. The craft was extremely low, it was vibrating the house.
1/5/21 - St. Louis: Bright blue light seen outside window ... I saw a swirl of bright blue lights just outside of the window. It almost looked like a galaxy but was much closer and only was there for a few seconds. It then disappeared.
