All,
|
|
|
|
Latest UFO sighting, straight from the horses mouth!
|
|
|
|
Monday, January 25th, at approximately 10:30 pm, South East of St. Louis
|
|
Missouri, approximately 10 to 12 UFOs were spotted doing various acrobatic
|
|
Maneuvers. The entire incident lasted approximately 30 minutes, with 4
|
|
families that I know of having witnessed the event, with a total of 7 adults
|
|
(parents) and 11 children.
|
|
|
|
At one time 5 of the UFOs seemed to form what appeared to be a crude
|
|
'circle', then slowly came together until they seemed to 'merge' into one.
|
|
(undoubtedly because of the distance involved.) They remain 'merged' as
|
|
one for approximately 5 minutes, the whole time doing amazing aerial
|
|
acrobatics, until they 'split' and became the original 5.
|
|
|
|
During the course of the event, 4 or 5 of the UFOs were seen 'zipping' from
|
|
left to right and up and down, almost as if skipping. Another 4 or 5 were
|
|
seen doing the same thing, but evidently in the opposite direction. The
|
|
remaining ones, approximately 3 to 4, where seen going up and down and doing
|
|
circles. I will attempt, below, to show what was described to me.

(That's about the best I can do, hope you get the picture. The 'o'
|
|
represent the UFOs, about 4 to 5 for each 'o'. To clarify this diagram the
|
|
UFOs on the left were ween flying from left to right and back again, bobbing
|
|
up and down, and sometimes flying in a straight line, the same with the UFOs
|
|
on the right. As for the UFOs in the center, then would go straight up and
|
|
down, or sometimes at an angle. When the UFOs finally departed, the ones on
|
|
the left went left, the ones on the right went right and the ones in the
|
|
center shot straight up.)
|
|
|
|
One of the witnesses did take pictures, which are being developed today. I
|
|
will see them this evening and will report on what they show, if anything.
|
|
|
|
As for a description of the objects themselves, they were described as being
|
|
about the size of dime, with 2 or 3 of the objects being obscured by a kind
|
|
of haze which seemed to follow only those 2 or 3 objects. There did not
|
|
appear to be any flashing lights, but approximately half the objects were
|
|
two colors, red and yellow, that did not flash but seemed to 'pulsate'. The
|
|
other objects were a dull 'whitish' color, almost an off-white.
|
|
|
|
Note that one of the witnesses is a old acquaintance of mine who knows
|
|
something of astronomy. She noted (no jokes!) that she could see Jupiter
|
|
and Mars in the night sky, so they were not that. She also noted seeing at
|
|
least 2 shooting stars flash by, both to the east of the sighting.
|
|
|
|
Also note that one of the witnesses is a private pilot, whom I do not know
|
|
very well, but said to me, straight out, that they were not planes, they
|
|
were not navigational lights.
|
|
|
|
Approximately 15 to 20 minutes into the sighting, at least 4 helicopters,
|
|
type unknown, were heard and see flying just to the south of the witnesses
|
|
location. The helicopters appeared to be flying straight towards the
|
|
objects, and the navigational lights on the choppers could be seen for quite
|
|
some distance, until they finally disappeared, yet the UFOs remained.
|
|
|
|
Also note, that given the location of the witnesses (the burbs of St. Louis)
|
|
and the direction from them of the UFOs (southeast) that Lambert
|
|
International Airport (St. Louis's airport) would lie north of the sighting.
|
|
(I have placed a phone call to Lambert this morning, but did not receive any
|
|
information, I will attempt to do so again later this afternoon.) Also note
|
|
that Scott Air Force Base would lie almost due east of the sighting. (I
|
|
have been able to contact them, and they say that nothing was on radar, and
|
|
that they saw nothing. They did acknowledge the helicopters which they said
|
|
were being 'ferried' in from Columbia.)
|
|
|
|
So far that's about it. As details develop I'll post them, if your
|
|
interested! (Naturally I missed the whole damn thing! My friend tried to
|
|
call me, but naturally I was not at home. Always my luck!)

**** UPDATE ****
|
|
|
|
**** Posted on 01/28/93
|
|
|
|
All,
|
|
|
|
This is an update to the message I had put out earlier about the UFOs being
|
|
spotted here in St Louis this past weekend. I have been in contact with
|
|
both Scott Air Force Base, which is in Illinois, but is the closest base
|
|
here, and to Lambert International Airport. Both report nothing being on
|
|
their radar at the time except for the helicopters, which Scott said were
|
|
simply being ferried in.
|
|
|
|
I also had the chance last night to view the pictures that were taken of the
|
|
even, but I must say I was disappointed, though it was not unexpected. The
|
|
pictures, 6 of them, don't really show anything that one can make out.
|
|
Considering the distance, and the cheap 35 mm being used it was not complete
|
|
unexpected, but still disappointing. Oh well, so much for 'evidence'.
|
|
|
|
I am trying to get in touch with the MUFON state director here in Missouri
|
|
to see if I can get any info from them, but so far no dice. As further info
|
|
becomes available I will post it here for your purusal.
|
|
|
|
David
|
|
|
|
P.S. I have also check 3 other smaller airports that are in the general
|
|
vicinity of the sighting, but no reports having anything on their radar.
