SIGHTING: KIRKWOOD, MO

Witness Testimony

"I saw disk come out of sky and watched it close up for 2 to 3 minutes.It was autum 1966 or 1967 October or November. I was 10 or 11 years old.After a day of fishing with my friend we were sitting in his parents car trading stories when I saw a light come out of the sky twoard us. It hovered over an down a hill and settled over the river. By this time my friend looked up and saw it too. We both got out of the car and started walking toward the object. It would stop hover then move at great speed back and fourth then stop again. We were as close as 200 yards from it.We watched it do this for 30 to 45 seconds. It was disk shape and had lights going around it. It did not make any noise.It started going back up the hill hovered 600 to 900 feet above the hill then shot allmost straight up in the sky.In less than a seconed it was the size of a small looking star. We watched it move around in the sky for another 20 seconds or so then it came back down just as fast as it left. When my friend and I started walking toward it this time it came at us. We both froze, then it moved around again going up and down and moving at strang angles.Something an airplane could not do. The speed was very very fast. After watching it for another 45 seconds or more it shot back up in the sky. When this craft would shoot up in the sky and turn into a little spec,it would take a blink of an eye. We watched it standing still no bigger than a star then it starting moving across the sky heading south. It picked up speed then within 1 second it shot across the sky. I would say as far up as it was and my view point it traveled 75/100 miles in hundreths of a second. It was a clear night the moon was not out and there was a small airport near by. I rember during the day we would watch airplane turn and make there aproach to land .This was not some light in the sky are some kind of airplane."
