On June 28, 2024, in Crawford County, Missouri, a sheriff's deputy stopped a UFO-shaped vehicle traveling on Interstate 44. The vehicle was driven by Steve Anderson, an Indiana resident who was traveling toward the UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. The Washington Post
The vehicle was built around a 1991 Geo Metro and had been extensively modified to resemble a flying saucer. During the stop, Anderson told the deputy he was a former Indianapolis police officer and a Vietnam veteran. Bodycam footage shows him joking with deputies about aliens, Krypton and "warp speed." The Washington Post
Deputies also discovered that the vehicle's Indiana registration had expired. Anderson acknowledged that he needed to address the registration issue. The deputy ultimately issued a warning rather than a citation and allowed him to continue toward Roswell. Metro Voice News
The stop later gained widespread attention after the Crawford County Sheriff's Office shared photographs and a humorous account of the encounter. Anderson continued to Roswell for the 2024 UFO Festival.
