Just northeast of downtown Joplin, Missouri. I don’t understand what a “drone” would be doing being transported on a road in that region, anyway? There is no manufacturing facility nor military installation near there, is there?Mufon UFO Stalker
Summary: Parked in front of my house on a flat bed truck (saucer shaped craft). Detail for Event ID 34020 Case Number: 34020 Log Number: US-12142011-0005 Submitted Date: 2011-12-14 17:46 GMT Event Date: 2011-12-13 20:00 GMT Status: Submitted City: Webb City Region: Missouri Country: US Longitude: -94.4630035 Latitude: 37.1464475 Shape: Disc Distance: 100 feet or less Description: I live in Webb City, Missouri. Last night on December 13th, 2011, I noticed police lights out my window. I went to the front porch to get a better look. There was a flat bed truck with a very large craft on the bed. It was entirely shrink wrapped so that you couldn't see what was underneath. There were approximately 10-12 highway patrol cars in the back and the front of this truck blocking off the road. The news that evening stated that it was a drone for the Navy. I am very familiar with all of our military drones and this craft looks like nothing that is of public knowledge. It had no wings, like all of our drones do. It was shaped just like a disc, and was stabilized with bars that were also shrink wrapped so it would stay on the truck. In my opinion, who ever issued the statement made a mistake. Because saying that it is a drone, acknowledges that it flies and to my knowledge our military has no craft like this that flies. I have 3 pictures of the craft, from various angles.

Just northeast of downtown Joplin, Missouri. I don’t understand what a “drone” would be doing being transported on a road in that region, anyway? There is no manufacturing facility nor military installation near there, is there? The government is using the drones to spy on American citizens all over the country. federal agencies, the Border Patrol and local police departments now use them. articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/10/nation/la-na-drone-arrest-20111211A quote from the article... In an interview, Michael C. Kostelnik, a retired Air Force general who heads the office that supervises the drones, said Predators are flown "in many areas around the country, not only for federal operators, but also for state and local law enforcement and emergency responders in times of crisis."Just one more step down the road towards communism. Stupid government.

If I see one of those *bleeping* things near me I'm going to blast it out of the sky. Stupid government.

A lame X-47B. It seems a new US Navy semi-secret un-manned drone is not in flyable condition (software problem?)- outer folding wings are removed, too wide still to be transported in a large cargo plane. Solution? Transport by flatbed. Report fails to mention direction - west or east? If east, maybe to St. Louis? (Boeing -former McDonnell Douglas plant?). Maybe it made an emergency landing during a test flight at Joplin Regional airport? (in town). Looks like it rained in Webb City - Joplin night before last? This aircraft with wings on has a span equal to a F-14, can land and take off autonomously from carriers, and even can perform as a air to air refueling tanker. Old pilot jokes during air to air refueling - now it seems 'self serve' now too ....This thing is bigger than one first thinks. Webb City is in the far south western corner of Missouri, on Route 44 between Oklahoma City and St. Louis. No flying saucer, just looks like one. Did that other organization's work for them. I am going to miss manned aircraft.... Steve

People were talking about it on the radio yesterday and they said it started its journey on the east coast...either SC or FL. I would assume it is heading out west somewhere.

Good timely information Sky. Actually the best scraps of information was it was a Navy aircraft, a drone, and now, originating from the East coast headed west. Along with the photos submitted.
The best way to transport it is to ferry flight it to it's destination. Drones have flown many times over the United States before of course, either there is a technical problem, or because it is still perhaps experimental, maybe the FAA prohibits such ferry flights of a still experimental unmanned aircraft transcontinental over populated areas? It could be heading to Edwards AFB, perhaps NAS San Diego, NAS Miramar. or NAS China Lake. Even Area 51. I doubt Area 51 now, since it has been extensively flight tested, and it is not really a secret anymore. Edwards perhaps for simulated carrier landings? Nearby China lake for weapons trials? It maybe the ability Iran used to down the recent drone was analyzed and identified, and new measures are being put in place and need to be tested?
An aircraft carrier would need to be refitted for the aircraft, a control center, maintenance and logistical. Then training to operate it aboard ship. The ships control center would probably duplicate a similar existing center already working somewhere in Nevada (source - 60 Minutes). The Navy seems to be understandably in a hurry to get it operational. Some reevaluation of it's design maybe necessary too now that a similar American drone was brought down in Iran. Perhaps this X-47B has some more hardened software of a more advanced design than the downed drone in Iran and they need to accelerate the program to enhance their surveillance with their fleet of existing drones?
Those are my guesses.

I didn't know those things were that big. It's huge! Why do you suppose they put a window in it if it is unmanned?

I want to see a picture of it from the bottom side with wings folded up. Pretty please? ;D You better HOPE this baby is manned, my friend. And I'm sure there are some 'secret places' in Missouri. Give it time; it will become information available. (not near lees summit ). I'm in the know that especially after nine you know/know/ quite a few "types" (people) headed here, thinking it was safer than NY, or Boston, for example. We have our own little cave system too. . . And fearless leader, if it feels better to trash our government for the wrong and 'tupid things they do, go for it! They obviously made some huge mistakes with you and its time they got around to apologizing (not like that would help. LOL.) However, give me "google earth" or "spy planes" ANY day, watching me, over EVEN THE IDEA of something like "minority report" (movie). Or another way to look at it, I believe G_d is watching me all the time already. People say He makes mistakes. . (not me ) I just have to keep believing much like steve - "life finds a way" and, I may not believe in reincarnation (ugh! mentioning that here?) but I believe in another friend named karmen (wink). You mess with me too much and you'll get "yours".

Summary: Parked in front of my house on a flat bed truck (saucer shaped craft). www.ufostalker.com/?mufon=true I'm just glad we're finally seeing this thing. I can't recall where I saw it, but> check reports in the past year of curious drivers seeing "flatbeds" that were completely tarped, and police and or/construction (large) vehicles escorting such flatbeds. I think that (at the time) the onlookers were thinking ?flying saucer? It seems those reports also came from fairly rural areas . IMO, this "drone" in Joplin (location according to reports) was left for all to see for a reason.

Latest news is flatbed truck was not headed west, but east. That would make sense, Northrop is in Palmdale, California, with testing area at Patuxent River NAS, Maryland.

Is this the same type of drone that Obama recently gave to Iran? The one they showed in the video looked a lot smaller from what I remember.
