Full Report Text:
saw a ufo on the way to school near a cow field. The object at first apeared to be a plane and i live by an airport and can tell when a plane is moving to slow to stay airbourne, in fact this space craft was still to the human eye, and was extremely low to the ground. The craft was oval in shape and appeared to have numerous windows, and had 2 parts one was the main structure and the other seemed like a observation deck.
It was gray/silver in color. The area in which i observated the craft was over a hill near a field with cows and a winding creek near a church. The object turned towards our car and jerked like a pendulum as if it were gaining momentum and shot towards the sky to be unseen again.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD)).
Full Report Text:
Cigar shaped silver shining object seen in clear daytime sky. It was a warm day for February, around 55 degrees. My nephew was on my roof cleaning out the gutters, that is the only reason I was looking up, I was watching him on the roof (he is 21).
I saw it first, really moving FAST, coming from the south-east and heading north-west. It was huge, it appeared to be silver, and very bright, as if light was being shined on it, it had no lights, nothing flashing, no sound, and no tail or jetstream. It was huge and we could see it very well, as the sky was clear.
It had no front or rear, and no windows, it's entire shape was the same. As soon as I saw it, I asked my nephew what it was, he looked and we both watched it. As it started to get out of our vision, a jet was coming toward us from the north (it had a fuel trail as a jet does), these two objects were going to cross paths and were nearly side by side at one point.
The jet was high in the sky and tiny (although you could tell that it had wings), and this thing was four or five times longer than the jet. I am stunned to say the least, we really have no clue what it is we saw.
