Light over Chesterfield, MO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
We were observing a thunderstorm to the north of our location in Chesterfield when we observed what I thought was an aircraft taking off from Lambert break out of the bottom of the cloud moving to the west. The craft had a number of strobing lights (white, green, red) which I assumed was an aircraft however from the changing dimensions and orientation of the light and the erratic movement (tumbling and rolling) I ruled out an aircraft. My next thought was a collection of balloons however the intensity of the strobing lights and flashing colors makes me think it was not. It was also too large to be a drone. The lights were visible for a few second and then moved off to the west and out of view. I managed to capture one image with phone camera.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #128430). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
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.

I saw like star formations in three’s and there were of three groupings or 3 sets moving very quickly like moving stars in the sky they weren’t satellites because they were moving way too fast. I saw them close to the big dipper formation.

With the naked eye, there were two white lights, one sitting on top of the other with a green light in the bottom right corner of the lower light. None of the lights flashed nor moved. These were seen in the NE sky for as long as I was outdoors (approximately 15 minutes in the car and then looking out the bathroom window at home). After dropping my husband off at the YMCA, I pointed this object in the sky to him, thinking it was the morning star. But after driving away, I observed it more carefully and that is what I saw. Interestingly, I did take a picture with my iPhone after parking the car and after enlarging it, I see it to be cigar-shaped. The green light doesn’t show up in the picture because of tree foliage. I will attempt to send the photo to the link below. I do not believe in UFOs, but I do believe in angels working for God and demons working for Satan. Please contact me only if you find this useful.

Three lights in triangular formation too far apart to be any conventional aircraft.
