Some close viewers of
Fox 2′s nightly newscast in St. Louis, Missouri noticed an unknown object
quickly shoot through the sky on Monday, September 1.
During the broadcast,
footage from the Fox 2 roof camera shows an active lightning storm resulting
from the area’s severe weather. The station describes that “during that shot
something flashes across the screen. The flying object is illuminated by flashes of
lightning. In the blink of an eye it is gone.”
Viewer David Whitener
posted a video clip to Facebook from the newscast showing the unknown object
shooting through the sky. He posed the question, “What was that shooting across
the screen did anyone else see that?” Some offered suggestions like meteors and
alien spacecraft. One commenter chimed in, stating, “It is said that during
thunder storms UFO sightings increase.”

FOX 2 producer Kevin
Pope and reporter Andy Banker examined the footage in question. After reducing
the playback speed of the video, they conclude that the UFO is a bird
illuminated by the lightning.
What do you think?
Does the “bird” suggestion explain the mysterious object seen in the video?
