NARRATIVE

Hi, the date and time I listed is approximate. I was about 8 years old at time of sighting and some details (as time) are fuzzy. As I remember I was playing on street where we lived in Berkley, Missouri near Lambert Airport. I lived on Purefoy (maybe mispelled) its off Airport Road.  We saw a bright object (orange) in the sky and as I remember we just watched it.  As best I can recall we were looking north toward Florissant and the object was low in the sky but rising.  I went inside and told my mom of what we saw and that was about it.
((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION WITH WITNESS))
Hi Mr. Davenport. 
Thanks for responding to our possible mutual sighting.
Concerning my sighting and possible date, I tried to time frame it as best as possible.  We lived at the Berkley address for a short time from the summer of 53 to early winter of 54.  I heard you mention your sighting on Art's show in the past and said it sounded like my experience, but your sighting in 54 was a little late for mine.  If you believe summer of 53 is possible for yours, we may have seen the same occurence.  As I remember there was no sound associated with what I saw.  Just a bright object, believe it was orangish yellow.
Thanks again for responding,  ((name deleted))

Please see sighting for July 1954 over Lambert Airport, St. Louis, MO.  PD
