Strange lights at base of thunderstorm.
We were observing a thunderstorm to the north of our location in Chesterfield when we observed what I thought was an aircraft taking off from Lambert break out of the bottom of the cloud moving to the west. The craft had a number of strobing lights (white, green, red) which I assumed was an aircraft however from the changing dimensions and orientation of the light and the erratic movement (tumbling and rolling) I ruled out an aircraft. My next thought was a collection of balloons however the intensity of the strobing lights and flashing colors makes me think it was not. It was also too large to be a drone. The lights were visible for a few second and then moved off to the west and out of view. I managed to capture one image with phone camera.
