Chevron or boomerang shaped UAP seen flying over St. Louis suburb, sighting corroborated by other reports recently.

I was walking my dog around our neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri one night, and facing west at the top of a small hill, I noticed a faint shape flying through the sky as soon as we stepped outside. It was some distance away, I'd say a few thousand feet. The sidewalk took me directly towards it but I would lose sight of it in the trees as we walked. By the time I got to the bottom of the hill, the chevron was now to the northeast and heading in that direction. I had a clearer line of sight to it at the bottom of the hill I watched it for as long as I could make it out until it disappeared into the horizon. From seeing it right as I exited my house to it disappearing was a matter of 3-5 minutes. I strongly believe that it was not a flock of geese, as those are very commonplace here in the winter and what I saw was much more substantial and at a greater altitude. I was struck by the way my attention turned to it immediately as I stepped out of my house, as if my brain picked it out and recognized that it was not something normal.

Recently, I came across multiple accounts of people seeing something very similar on the East Coast, but also right here in St. Louis in the last couple of days.

This sighting from 12/13/24 reported on Reddit is very similar, and there are two commenters who mention seeing it in St. Louis in the last few days.

"I saw this in st louis missouri at around 7:30 pm. Was chasing these drones around trying to get good pictures. Was looking straight up and saw this thing gliding through the clouds. I am so happy someone caught this."

"Me too! Just a bit west of St. Louis in near Eureka. I still don't know what to make of it to be honest, but something was definitely there."

"Well damn, I saw something like this too in South City (Tower Grove). Not sure what time but early/mid evening. Was letting in my dog and looked up. Very strange movement that I watched as long as I could. I was thinking it could be geese flying but who knows."
