Formation over Bridgeton, MO

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

There was no sound at all. We spoke with the witness, and she seemed to us to be quite serious- and sober-minded. She will send more detailed information about the sighting, and she will arrange to have another witness, who stood with her during the sighting, send a second report, and the video he took. PD

Parked my work truck near a truck mechanic shop I frequent to take my lunch. while on break, I was watching Boeing test fly 2 F/A-18s in a race track pattern to the East. 15 minutes into my break a pill shaped object shot down from above the circling jets. It was very shiny, the sun was reflecting off of it very intensly. It was suspended in the air for about a minute until it started to move a short distance from side to side very rapidly. By then I had gotten the attention of 3 mechanics I knew to ask if they saw what I did, which they did. They pulled out their phones and tried taking video but could only get still-photos of it. After another minute or so it stopped and remained completely still. The mechanics called over another 2 people to ask what they thought it was. The 2 jet fighters stopped making a race track pattern and came around together low and fast from the south towards the object. Before the jets made it to about 500 meters away from , the object shot like a bullet to the west parallel to the ground. It moved so quick that it would have looked like it just disappeared if we had not been watching it.

We noticed from our living room window something in the sky. Went outside to look. Coming from the west going east maybe southeast a pair of round objects not fast. There was a red hue to them but in photo and video did not pick up as well the color. Used a cell phone camera. As they passed from our right to left maybe two miles from us they were, then the first one we did not see and then there was another pair coming from our right like the first pair. Moved the same. We had our neighbor come out to view it as well. There was a small propeller plane coming over to our left a couple house down going in the direction of the pair of second objects. Flew over the first one and we thought for sure the pilot saw them. We did not hear any noise from the two pair of objects. Called the airport they said they had no suspicious finding on the radar. The video is not the best, my husband did not have the cell phone held up high enough in the beginning. The lights to the left is the house across the street and the street light. We have to turn the phone to view it as looking then the sky being at top. Have to be patient in viewing. We thank you in advance for reading about our experience of possible ufo sighting.

Looking at it with a scope, it just looked like a redish dot, but there seemed to be an airplane doing a u-turn and kind of cashing after it. The objects had a nice clip going. Saw the first one around 10:41 pm cst. Two appeared right after 10:54 pm cst. Another one around at about 10:58 pm cst. Times should be Central Daylight Time. PD
