flashing hot pink lights, no particular pattern, shooting across the sky, up and down, side to side just above the interstate. glowing white circle of light (donut shaped) in the middle appeared about 10 seconds-drowing out the flashing pink lights, revealing a cone shaped front. flying and darting quickly back and forth and up and down the sky with seemingly no rhyme or reason. disappeared behind a building as I exited the highway. hwy 270 N was at a standstill, worst traffic i'd seen at 6pm after leaving work. i figure other must have seen it. cannot guess as to the size--it was visible from 1-2miles away. other airplane were flying far high overhead and were very distinguishable from this craft. it flew no higher at times than the tops of bldgs and trees. i waited for the news to report something that night or next day, they did not. a small blurb was in the Post Dispatch paper, but i was only told about it, I did not see it.
