Initial data
I was driving south on Highway DD, approaching a stop sign on Highway D, in the western part of the Bush Preserve.
Just beyond the intersection (about half a mile away), the ship appeared in the dark as a bluish corona or cloud of ionized gas appeared on its rear. The blue crown effect lasted from 3 to 4 seconds. At this time, the light from the corona illuminated the side of the ship ahead from behind, until the sides curved beyond the line of the light source, so that I could see the ship some distance ahead of the rear.
The back end had a flat oval shape, and the bottom seemed flat. At the rear, I estimate it was 60 to 100 feet (18-30 m) across. The ship was moving very slowly to the west or to the right.
Two nights after my observation (the following Sunday), there were reports on television of sightings in Illinois on the east side St. Louis on the previous Wednesday.
Until those TV reports, I was unaware of the sightings in Illinois that occurred two days before my sighting west of St. Louis.
There were obvious differences between my observations and those in Illinois. In Illinois, it was reported that lights, such as spotlights or running lights, were shining on the ground, which I did not see. They reported a triangular-shaped aircraft, while in my opinion it had the sides curved from the rear to the front, as if the ship was shaped like a long oval with a flat rear end. Although I couldn't see the entire front of the ship.
Original news
I was driving south on Hwy DD approaching stop sign at Hwy D, on the west end of the Busch Wildlife Area. Just past the intersection ( estimated one half mile from me ) the craft appeared in the darkness when a blueish corona or ionized gas cloud appeared at the back end of the craft. The blue corona effect lasted for 3 to 4 seconds. During this time, the light from the corona illuminated the side of the craft forward from the rear, until the sides curved out of the line of the light source, so I was able to see the craft for some distance forward of the back end.
The back end was a flat oval shape, and the bottom appeared flat. I estimate that it was 60 to 100 feet across at the back. The craft was moving very slowly to the west, or to my right.
Two nights after my sighting ( the following Sunday ), there were TV news reports of the sightings in Illinois on the east side of St Louis the previous Wednesday. Prior to those tv reports, I was not aware of the Illinois sightings which occurred two days before my sighting west of St Louis.
There were obvious differences between my sighting and the Illinois sightings. In Illinois they reported lights shining to the ground, like searchlights or running lights, which were not evident in my sighting. They reported a craft that was triangular in shape, whereas in my sighting the craft appeared to have sides that curved from the back to the front, as if the craft was shaped like a long oval with a flat back end. Although I could not see all the way to the front of the craft.
