Occurred : 3/20/2014 20:35 (Entered as : 03/21/2014 20:35) Reported: 3/21/2014 10:22:33 AM 10:22 Posted: 3/21/2014 Location: St. Louis, MO Shape: Light Duration: 5 minutes Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
6 Orange balls of light, St. Louis. I came out of the building after a delivery. There was 4 orange lights moving north. They were not moving in a perfect line looked very erratically. If you held your hand out at arms length and used your index finger and thumb to gauge distance, there was about 2in. between the top 2 and bottom 2. When they all reached a certain point they faded out. They didn't turn out like a switch, it was a slow fade out. After the first 4 all disappeared, 2 more followed. These 2 were side by side about 3-4in. apart. Same exact thing, they faded out at exactly the same point the first 4 did. I tried to record with my phone, however I was in an industrial park. The building across the street had lights along the roof. They were barely visible on the phone recording. At first I thought they may have been a plane coming into a landing pattern. A plane came in approx. 30-45 sec. after the last 2 disappeared it had 5 white lights and a red/green flashing. Also you could hear the plane. ((NUFORC Note: We have corrected the date above. We spoke with the witness on the evening of March 20, so we're sure of the date. The witness seemed to us to be quite serious-minded and sincere. We suspect that he is a very capable witness. PD))
