SIGHTING: ST. LOUIS, MO

Witness Testimony

" Odd light seen over St. Louis.UFO Report filed 06/16/17: On 06/15/17, at 9:05 pm, standing on our deck preparing to barbeque, I saw a light in southeastern sky that was moving toward my position gradually. I noticed that it looked different from an aircraft (we live south of St. Louis airport so airplanes are common and frequent) and had an orange/red glow much like a flame so my first guess was that it could be a hot air balloon. As it got closer, I tried to listen for the familiar sound of gas burners but was surprised at its total silence. It soon lost the light and moved to more of a north course as a very dim sphere. It seemed to speed up and soon was beyond the trees on our horizon to the north. The entire siting lasted approximately 10 minutes. Upon reflection, I don’t recall ever seeing a hot air balloon past sunset and never saw one move so fast. Also, I could not discern a fast wind to propel a balloon.((NUFORC Note: Source of the report elects to remain anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)) "
