Location: St. Louis, MO, USA

Shape: Triangle

While sitting at a stop light, I was looking lazily at the sky when a traingular object "popped" into view...

I was sitting at a stop light at Forest Park Parkway and Big Bend, (University City) facing west, just looking up at the beautiful blue sky and clouds. Suddenly there was a flash of light in the direction I was watching and a triangular object appeared as if out of thin air. I saw it long enough to discern the shape, but not much of anything else. It went into a cloud. I waited to see it reappear but it didnt. I thought I had to have been mistaken...it was a plane. But just about the time I was sure I had misidentified a plane, an airplane came into view at about the same area and altitude. The triangular object appeared to be about one third the size of the airplane. It was easy to see these two objects were very different. The plane's wings were visible as were the windows. It was a dull grey color contrasted to the bright silver of the first object. Both the object and plane headed in a northerly direction. The airplane came throguh the clouds. I am an investigator in Missouri, located in Columbia. I would like to hear from other people in Missouri who have had sightings of any kind...old and new. My e-mail address is: B.Becker@iname.com
