The report describes an unidentified object of undetermined shape, pinhead-sized, with starlight or blue-white coloration observed by ground witnesses while driving on Highway 30 between Cedar Hill and High Ridge. The object, initially believed to be a falling star at approximately 60 degrees elevation, varied its flight pattern from due south to southwest before continuing westward, disappearing at an estimated 1,000 kilometers per hour after approximately two minutes of visibility.
