Please ATS, do not hate me, but I hesitate to say that I do NOT have any pictures
I know, it is going to be a little odd but please bear with me, I
know what I saw and same with my lady friend. Plus I would like to add that I really do not believe this is a part of the "mass insanity" on this
website. If I thought it was insanity, I would not even think about posting it.
I was actually on my way to take her home after being at my house all day. On the way, though, I saw "floating" overhead what at
first appeared
to be just a lower flying jet. No big deal, I did not think much of it until I got closer under it.
I had started mentioning to my girlfriend about the low flying jet, and said something like: Actually, if that is a jet...It's going incredibly slow
unless it's having troubles or is just an optical illusion. The closer we got underneath it, the more we realized that it was low...had far too many
lights to be a plane of almost any sort, it didn't make a noise (at least that we could hear driving in my quiet car with the radio off), and it
floated slowly North-North West.
At the time we saw it, the sky was dark but still lit enough for my girlfriend to see the outline of the object against the ever so dark blue canvas.
She explained it to be the shape of a piece of pizza or triangular. She was positive that it had NO wings at all. The outline I saw (quick glimpse
because I didn't want to wreck, and distorted from the almost dark sky) looked a lot like a cylindrical shaped craft that fattened up a bit in the
middle. The Lights I saw on the bottom and side of the ship, were interesting as well. It had at least one that blinked (which made me think of a
typical helicopter), but all the other lights on it were constantly lit. A light on the side, in fact...the brightest light on the ship, was bright
but not blinding bright. It was bright as in, a large window open on the side of the ship with the light shining out of it.
I wish it had been brighter out, and I really wish I had a camera. However, with the observations I gave you, we might be able to rule out some
options and bring the list of "possibilities" to a smaller size.
Due to the recent "oh people who see UFO's are crazy" threads on ATS, I really try to refrain from jumping the gun on anything, but like mentioned
before, I firmly believe what I saw was at the very least...top secret new technology.
What we saw:
-Larger sized object (ship, jet, helicopter) "floating" at a low speed North/NorthWest at ~7:40pm
-Six (girlfriend counted, then recounted) lights with slightly varying brightnesses and behavior
-At least one light blinking
-No noise that was emitted louder than my car (from the distance we had seen it at least)
-Appeared to maintain a steady speed
-Pizza Slice/Triangular Shaped (we'll go with hers since she actually stared at it)
What we might be able to rule out:
-jet (slow speed, unless it was slowing for landing, but it was going the wrong direction/noise factor)
-2 or 4 seater bi-plane (too large, not enough noise)
-Blimp (Never have many of those around especially later in the evening)
-Weather Balloons (Definitely had some sort of shape, it was not a bunch of balloons)
-Comets/Meteors (taking everything into consideration, this thing was going too slow/was too low)
-Hot Air Balloon (definitely not the right shape)
Those are what I can definitely rule out. Except for the blimp, the more I think about it...the more it seems plausible but we don't ever have any
blimps in this area. There are no large arena's (closest is 40 miles away), and no other events going on.
There is a small possibility that it
could have been a helicopter but it seemed too large, silent, and had too many lights in odd positions on the body of the ship.
ATS! Help! Let me know what you think it might have been. I do know for sure though, I am not crazy. I posted before about a triangle UFO in the area,
but I was the only one who saw it. My girlfriend and I saw it both this time...Plus, it was only about a mile East of my first sighting some two+
years earlier.
