UFO Capital of Missouri

Now the official UFO Capital of Missouri, Piedmont has completed the first phase of its "UFO Capital of Missouri Park." Visitors can sit in the shade of a 16-foot-wide UFO, take a selfie with "JT" the green alien, or ride on the "moon rover." A sign at the park entrance gives information about the town's recent designation as a unique state symbol.
