Red UFO moving backward over St. Louis

Summary

In July 1960, a witness in St. Louis, Missouri, reported a luminous red object that behaved unusually. The UFO, described as the size of a room, emitted variable intensity light and moved backward before disappearing. The witness observed it over two nights but could not identify its nature. Military authorities concluded there was insufficient information to determine its cause, though they considered the possibility of an aircraft. The report includes details about the location, duration of the observation, and weather conditions, but lacks photographs.
