UFO in St. Louis 1949, Ball of Fire in the Sky

Summary

In May 1949, at the U.S. Naval Air Station in St. Louis, Missouri, an unusual aerial phenomenon was reported. A military officer, while walking toward the main gate, observed a ball of fire moving horizontally across the sky, an unusual behavior for a meteor. The object emitted sparks and suddenly disappeared. Other sightings confirmed the object was traveling at high speed, without visible lights or identification, leaving a lasting impression on witnesses.
