The witness and the witnesses’ mother first thought the low flying object was a plane.

“As it crossed over the road in front of us, we joked around about the possibility of it being a ‘UFO,’ the reporting witness stated. “Finally, the object stopped; and seemed to hover in midair.”

As the witnesses moved closer to the object, they were able to describe its lighting.

“As we got closer, we could see the object had white/green LED like lights on the bottom, and there was also a flashing red light in the center. The lights were arranged in a triangular formation. As we got closer, we believed the object to be a radio tower. But as we pulled up to the point where we were about even with the object, we could tell it had more ‘depth,’ than just a radio tower. This thing was big.”

At this point they determined that the object was hovering over a nearby field and was hovering between 70 and 100 feet off of the ground.

“I stopped the vehicle on the shoulder of the highway and my mother rolled the window down. Instantly the object began to move slowly in an east-northeast direction.”

But as they observed the object, it began to move away.
