My family and I just left the St. Louis Cardinal game, we were driving west on hwy 40, I was the first to see it. Off in the distance (approx 4 or 5 miles away) in the west (SW from our current position) I could see an extremely bright row of lights (4 round very large set of lights side by side). Like stadium lighting. I pointed it out to my husband and son. My husband said "it's just lights on top of a building or crane", "no big deal"... As we got closer to it we realized, there were NO buildings or cranes around! All highway and some trees. The lights were straight forward like headlights. It seemed like it was in the same spot from when I first spotted it. We got onto the off ramp from hwy 40 and were going to head south on hwy 270. As soon as we got onto hwy 270 my husband pulled to the shoulder so I could try and get some better pictures of this "floating light tower". It seemed like it was less than a quarter of a mile to the right of us at that point. Since we were stopped and now looking up at this thing we realized it was moving really super slow instead of hanging out in mid air like we originally thought. We could now see it's triangular shape and the lights were not as I described above but rather, Two in front toward the outer tip of the wings and two toward the top center. And what looked like rope lighting around the outer perimeter.The lights definitely seemed to dim down as it was passing over us. My husband said there were a set of colored blinking lights on the under side, but I honestly didn't notice them. It was bigger than our truck (ext cab silverado) and made absolutely NO SOUND?! The whole time! That was the most amazing part... How something so big flying through the air could be so quiet? And there wasn't a moment during this amazing experience, where we felt scared or threatened in any way. It stayed a safe distance above us, about as low as a helicopter would fly when doing a traffic report. As it was passing over us it picked up a tremendous amount of speed. Almost like it noticed us watching it... (I know, let's not get crazy)Then it took off straight toward St. Louis (East) then shot up ward at an angle toward the SE. Within seconds it was out of sight.Even though it was about 11pm on a Tuesday, there was a Blues game and Cardinal game that just let out... So the highways were far from empty.SURELY we are not the only 3 people in STL to see this thing!! I sent a tweet to Fox2now (local news) like I always do when I have something "odd" or weather related to share. And I still have not heard a response from them. Which is weird. Because the minute I tweeted to fox2 about a ball of fire that flew through my subdivision over my house on April 15, 2016 they were all interested in pics because they had numerous reports of the same sightings, which was later reported as a "meteor"... hmmm... Well, the pictures are not the greatest, but can clearly tell it's not a plane, nor a drone. Before this site, I had posted to another site without pictures. Someone replied with... "Sounds like a Stealth Aircraft" he said he had a similar experience in 1995, and it was a stealth bomber. But he didn't report it.
