Unknown over St. Louis, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It was July 28th, 2014. I was at work at a car dealership in Creve Coeur, Mo. I went to the very top of our 6 story car garage to look for a car. Out the corner of my eye, I saw a very large craft flying very low & slow traveling north over highway 270 which is less than a mile from the garage I was at. As I took a double take at this craft, I realized that this was not a airplane i was seeing. The craft was jet black it seemed only the top was reflective to the sun the sides of the craft was not reflecting from the sun on a bright sunny day which was odd. The craft was also oddly shaped the center seemed to be flat almost disk like but the front and rear seemed to be rounded. The craft was completely silent it did not admit any noise I could hear. I have heard many airplanes fly over that parking garage from much further distances. This craft I seen was the closest I have ever seen a craft near that garage so it should have been very loud and yet the only noise I could hear was cars on the highway. This craft looked to be possibly bigger than a 757. I took screenshots of the video that I took and zoomed In the pictures and some people I showed this to thought it was a Chinook helicopter but there is no way it was in my opinion for the fact a Chinook is very loud and what I was seeing was silent. I am just looking for answers of what this was it could be military, or could be unknown.. Thanks, ((name deleted))

Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

The was no noise as I am used to seeing jets go over. These had no noise and did not change their path. Each seemed to originate from same area of the skyline and disappeared in the same area of skyline. They were about 20 seconds apart from each other. I have seen many things but not like these.

Circular shape, round like a ball, black, gliding very smoothly and passing by fairly quickly. When I zoom in on the picture, there seems to be some kind of circular field around it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

At 37000 ft. Over Missouri saw 3 to 4 lights rotating around each other. The lights would fade and dim. Tracked the sighting for 100s of miles. Also saw 2-3 shooting star like objects in the same vicinity. The rotating lights were east of the Big Dipper.

Multi color lights alternately appearing , disappearing in the sky above the treeline much like a drone array only no structure seen and much larger in width than a common drone. When I went to the window to get a closer look I heard a loud powerful propulsion lasting a couple seconds then no more to report. During the time I saw lights there was no sound just silence. After the propulsion noise no more sighting.

I was driving at tesson ferry and reavis road 63123 and reavis road when I looked up and saw 3 bright star looking objects but mich brighter than stars. When I turned I pulled over to get a better view with 2 other men at the gas station who were outside watching the flying objects. 2 other people saw them that were driving In a. Jeep. 3 crafts that had blinking lights red and blue under them. They seemed to stop in the sky line up all 3 diagonally stand still. Then move all different directions and continued to slowly fly in different directions after that. We heard no noise.

I was on a 30 min break outside, it was 30 degrees with a light breeze, approximately 0137AM-0141AM. As I was sitting outside of my building (Anthem STL) steps (facing toward the Union Station Hotel above the left side of the building in sky @ 130-150 degrees SE), I caught a very quick glance of a bright white flash it was a perfectly orb/spherical like figure that had appeared to be zipping downwards at what appeared to be curve and right as it was doing that it disappeared in the sky it was clear a night/morning no clouds were visible. Observer is a security supervisor who is 21 at the time of the sighting who works overnights (2200PM-0600AM).
