Analytical Notes
NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
April
2023, rel
MADAR UFO Officer: Jeremy Haslam
Terms: NMS means "Non MADAR Sightings" where MADAR was not tripped,
but the quality of the nearby sighting strongly suggests that MADAR
records be checked for curious spikes in data. Although some MUFON
entries have been listed, it is the job of each MUFON state group
under Project MATCH to provide MUFON listings of potential
sightings of interest. Note: NOL means node was not online at the
time of the incident.

These are my findings: 4-5-23 Mclean, VA 10:40PM, Triangle shaped craft – possible
abduction, I was out with friends when we see these 2 triangles just
suddenly appear. Me and my friends decided to go up to the top of
our apartment and chill out and star gaze. Then around 10:30 our
dogs are barking and our phones and all of our music playing devices
just shut down. Then my friend (whose name doesn't want to be said)
pointed out 3 Bright triangular objects hovering about 500 ft. above
us. Then the crafts start lowering themselves on top of us and
everything went black. We all woke up at around 2 am with marks on
our bodies. There were lights on the object, There was an aura or
haze around the object, The object changed color, There were
electrical or magnetic effects, Missing time was experienced, Marks
found on body afterwards, Animals reacted to the event. [UI]
4-6-23 Newtown Square, PA 8:40AM, Black tube-shaped
craft, long black tube shape, 30+ ft long, hovering and then moving
away. Multiple people saw this object and reported to police and
news media. It was not connected by a wire to ground but moved
parallel to ground. Hovered and then moved away. [Photo is
definitely not compelling]
*Pic 4-6-23 Catalina Island, CA5:30PM, Orb shaped craft,
Small orb with satellite like appendages, skinny barbs. Flying in
Southwest Flight 2032 from Sacramento to OC John Wayne Airport we
had just passed by Catalina Island, Had beautiful clear views for
miles and has been enjoying the view, as we moved passed island i
sat back n my seat on the right side of aircraft and looked out
window toward the wing I was in about 5th row from back, I saw a
light , emerge below the wing out about 200 yards , I focused in on
it as we passed by it, I could see metallic spike antenna like
things sticking out, of it the white light . The light was best
guess, 1-3' tic tac shape and the 4+ spikes seemed about 6-7 times
longer. It moved from my left to right and I couldn't recognize as
anything I had seen before, I am a RPIC pilot, but the antennas on
top 1set at 20 and 60 degrees. I didn't have time to really look
down as we passed in around 3 seconds or less. Immediately I asked
the guy sitting in front of me who I could tell had been looking
outside and he confirmed. He first said light, then said maybe drone
and he wanted to explain away but all the other planes ships etc.
were very clear and hard to mistake. He was questing why it was so
close. I had been taking photos but had just put my phone away,
super clear calm still ocean below. [Could have been a balloon with
antennas]
4-8-23 Cayo Costa state park/ gulf of mexico, FL9:30AM(?), Unknown craft –
anomalous maneuvers, We were anchored in our boat and set up for the
evening. I was idly watching airliners now and then come and go, not
many but easily known by landing lights and strobes. I am an ex
pilot and familiar with this. I kept noticing this row of lights
coming slowly towards us at a lower altitude than commercial craft,
in fact it's slowness is what got my attention. Finally I noticed it
had become stationary. The night was dark with mild humidly which
allowed me to then notice a light emitting out of what you may
describe as wings, 90 degree to the craft. Primarily aiming towards
us was a light or lights, one in the middle and others further out.
Looking at it with binocs they seemed to be rainbow colors other
then primary white.The craft now just set there near our boat and I
judged it to be quite large. After 20 minutes or so, due to the
lights shining out into the atmosphere which glowed somewhat like a
flashlight in the humidity, I could see a wobble as though it were
balanced with whatever kept it afloat was aimed downward like a
gravity cancellation device, certainly not blades or jets for lit
was completely silent .This wobble is reported by other observers in
other circumstances from what I have read. A few times it was very
pronounced. Nothing further happened for almost an hour. I did take
a couple shots with my iPhone, not telephoto because I expected it
not to take a good picture, but did it at the urging of my daughter
whom was in Michigan, We became bored and finally decided to turn in
for the night when I took another look around and found another
airline rapidly coming into our area, in fact way too fast for an
airliner which prompted me to take a closer look. As it got closer,
It took a tight right turn, almost 90 degrees and stopped to my
right of craft number 1. Immedietly we noticed this was a copy of
number one. Tailing close to number 2 was yet another which
duplicated the flight pattern of of 2 and stopped. Both were lower
than 1 and separated by a few miles. Number two then disappeared
completely as though it went away or turned off its lights. Now we
had in sight number 1 and 3 well separated. Number 3 then began
ascending straight up at a fast speed, but easily followed. It
disappeared above us in less than 45 seconds. A few clouds which
were misty obscured some of the view, but we could still watch it.
As soon as it was gone another came into the picture replacing its
position and immediately ascended the same at number 3, this making
it the last. After it went out of sight either number two
re-appeared or we had number 5. Looking to the left at this point we
noticed number one was gone, not sure if it turned off its lights or
it ascended. Then the last one did as the others, ascended into
space or the upper atmosphere. I am 83 years old, retired teacher
and first responder. Having taught science and fine arts. I was fire
and rescue for 28 years as well and built and flew my own airplanes
along the way, not a nut case. Also over the many year starting in
1954 having seen a disc fly over then which I kept my mouth shut.
Later I spent 6 years in the federal reserves, army. We also were
very close to a very large craft which went nearly over us at key
largo around 2000 when anchored there. Then were witnesses to a hugh
light with a second showing after a short time in mid Florida when
crossing fl. on the Okeechobee. This was to big we heard a captain
commenting of seeing it from the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, which
impressed us. But then a few day later we saw a video of it from
fort Meyers on Hard Copy, a tv show back then and I assume this is
in some archives. [Time is not specific enough and 90 miles from
MADAR site 140 at Largo.. Even then the data was not compelling]
*Pic 4-10-23 Azusa,
CA 8:40AM, Rectangle shaped craft,Sighting was at Azusa pacific university, Saw a large
rectangular structure in the sky moving medium pace. Lights in the
front and back. The ‘UFO’ WAS HUGE. It was not a plane nor a jet of
any sort. It took up a good portion of my peripheral vision and had
lights in the front and back of its structure. [Azuss is about 27
miles north of the MADAR site at Littlerock, but site 56 was not
online]
4-10-23 Vacherie, LA 11:00P, Circular shaped craft, USCG
licensed captain at work on Miss River. Look up and saw object
hovering over red tower light and it was so bright it reflected on
water. Bright light spinning and hovering over red tower light was
so bright it reflected off water. And it was a good distance from
the river. It left, made a circle back to the same exact spot and
the same thing, same pattern. Two videos from same area, different
side of the river during the day.
*Pic 4-10-23 Waterloo, ON 11:20P, Triangle shaped craft,
I was walking the dogs late on Monday April 10th. Close to the end
of our walk, as we approached a large retirement residence, I
glanced up at the sky and saw a reddish coloured triangular object
flying over the building. It was very dark with no lights and almost
wasn’t visible. At first I thought it was a plane but it made no
noise, there were no lights, and it was either much lower than any
other planes have been in the area or much larger than a plane. As
it flew over the retirement building (a 4 story building), the
building obstructed my view of the object. I did not see it again
when I finally walked past the building. There was an aura or haze
around the object, Large, triangular or diamond shaped, no noise, no
lights, red.
4/13/2023 Mount Ephraim, NJ 12:00 AM, Shape: Triangle,
Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There was an aura
or haze around the object, The object changed color, 10’x10x10’
magnificent triangle craft aprox 25 feet in the air flew slowly over
us and past us at a somewhat slow pace. My girlfriend and
I were in an outside for a couple of hours because it was just a
gorgeous night. We had the back door open again just going in and
out here in there when my girlfriend stepped out back and in an
instant told me to come here, as I went out back she asked is that a
Plane? At first I said yes but immediately I realized it was far
from a plane. It was flying relatively low maybe 25/30 feet in the
air, approaching from the east and at first you couldn’t really make
out what shape it was. In front it had blue, red and green lights.
It looks like just a straight line approaching us again somewhat
slowly and low. But as it came closer and closer to the point where
it was directly over our head, you can clearly see it was a
brilliant triangle, underneath it had four lights. Lights of colors
I’ve never seen before, on each of the corners of the triangle they
were this gorgeous and brilliant red color. In the middle, it was
this golden yellow light. I could have literally thrown a tennis
ball with no strength and hit. It almost felt like it was a personal
experience just for us, and it kept flying towards the west. Again,
at a slow pace. It made no sound whatsoever, and it floated or a
flew like nothing, even the air affected it. It was so gorgeous and
magnificent, brilliant, and absolutely profoundly life-changing. As
it kept flying, we watched it keep heading towards the west end. At
that point, I said out loud “come back”. At which point it made this
insane U-turn now heading back towards the east but a lot further
than it was just a few seconds ago we both thought it was coming
back and with that it just kept flying and started heading north to
the point where it just became a very small red Spot. I have no idea
how many miles it traveled within just a few short seconds but as it
was over our head, NO sound whatsoever. Light spectrums I’ve never
seen before. Flew like nothing not even a piece of concrete would
have stopped it. Almost like it was in its own gravitational
polarity. Saw no air running over it or behind it. Absolutely mind
blowing. [Mount Ephrem is only 29 miles SE of MADAR site 38 at
Furlong, PA. Data not compelling]
4-13-23 Washington, DC 1:50PM, Cylinder Shaped craft - Elongated,
silver, reflective object hovering over Capitol, I exited my hotel
on School St with a co-worker. Upon looking up, I saw a thin,
roughly cylindrical looking object in the sky. The object was
oriented vertically and was silvery looking. It was silver in color
and was occasionally glinting in the sunlight. It was not an
airplane, and reminded me of a long, skinny mylar balloon. I pointed
it out to my coworker, and he made a similar observation, but was
relatively uninterested. Based on the surrounding buildings and the
viewing angle, I would estimate it was between 2000 and 8000 ft. I
cannot say with certainty how long it was, but would estimate maybe
20-30 ft and a couple feet in diameter. Its long axis was vertical.
Of course, if the object was really high, it could have been the
size of an aircraft fuselage. The day was spectacularly clear and
beautiful. The sky cloudless and winds calm. *Note: sighting was
seen in a restricted airspace. [UI]
4-13-23 Hersey, MI 9:28PM, Cube shaped craft - There were lights on
the object, The object changed color, The object made a sound. when
I saw the square object, I stepped onto my porch, there was silence.
When I returned after grabbing my phone the speed escalated, there
were white blinking lights surrounding the cube with green and red
blinking lights inside. reminded me of inside the cockpit of a jumbo
jet. First 30 seconds was slow to ascend and silent, then the sound
of a big jet airplane close to the ground and rapidly ascended.
Whole sighting lasted 60 to 90 seconds. [Interesting sighting but
MADAR is 130 mi to the SE. May handoff to MUFON anyway]
4-14-23 Madison, AL 5:7AM, Diamond shaped craft – Anomalous movement
(vanished). Flashing blue red white light pattern of diamond.
Hovering low. Very slow. No significant distance in 2 min observing.
Vanished. Before sunrise I saw what I thought at first sight to be a
plane. It did not move like a plane. Its lights flashed unlike a
plane. No sound. Then I thought maybe it was a drone. I have seen
drones. Didn’t look like that either. This was way bigger and a
different shape. If I could use the light pattern as a guide for the
shape, it would resemble a diamond or a rhombus. It seemed to hover
over the southwest horizon heading north. Then as I looked on with
confusion, I did notice it was moving but very very slowly. So much
so that it didnt make any significant distance for the 2 minutes I
was looking at it. Then, I cannot explain, it just vanished. I
thought I had mistaken. So, I searched the sky north and south and
any other possible location. There was nothing to be seen. It
VANISHED. [Thompson Station is the closet MADAR site 33 at 80 miles
north. Sighting not that compelling]
4-14-23 Interlochen, MI10:00PM,
Triangle shaped small craft, 5 small triangle or V shaped aircrafts
making a short passing over just barely above the treetops. I was
laying down in a hammock with my boyfriend when all of a sudden, we
start to see this light green haze of a light. At first, we thought
they were birds due to spring rolling around, but upon further
looking these were completely silent and moving perfectly in a
straight line. As well as seeming to be overlapping. The ships
themselves weren't very big, and the only way you could see this was
by the light coming off of them. They were around 3 FT wide and 1
1/2 FT long.
4-15-23 Newport News, VA 12:00PM, Sphere shaped craft – Anomalous
movement, Dog sensed it/barked into the sky. Grey sphere. 3-4 miles
high. Zig zagged and paused between movement. Met with 2nd and took
off. I am submitting this report to document my observation of an
unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) in the vicinity of Langley Air
Force Base. I was sitting in the front yard of my residence,
accompanied by my dog, when the sighting occurred. My dog growled
and barked at something in the sky, and her unusual reaction to the
UAP prompted me to investigate and document the occurrence.
Description of the UAP: After I discovered what my dog was reacting
to, I observed the UAP at an estimated altitude of 3-4 miles, and it
exhibited a grayish, spherical appearance. Its flight patterns are
characterized as sporadic, rapid zig-zag movements without any signs
of gradual acceleration. Instead, the object displayed instantaneous
changes in motion. Between movements, the UAP paused momentarily,
distinctly stopping in mid-air before altering its trajectory, an
action inconsistent with the known capabilities of conventional
aircraft. Analysis of Possible Explanations: In an attempt to
rationalize the observed phenomenon, I considered various
explanations, such as insects or birds. However, the object's
considerable altitude and atypical behavior quickly ruled out such
possibilities. I also considered the possibility of the UAP being a
weather balloon. However, upon observing the object meeting with a
second, seemingly identical sphere and traveling together in unison,
I determined that this explanation was unlikely. Moreover, the
coordinated and intelligent behavior exhibited by the two objects
further led me to rule out the weather balloon possibility.
Interaction with a Second UAP, Approximately 45 seconds to a minute
after the initial sighting, the UAP traveled very fast to my left
field of view, where it encountered a second, seemingly identical
grayish sphere at a similar altitude. The two objects paused briefly
in unison before rapidly traveling together and disappearing
instantaneously from sight, heading southwest from my location in
the direction of Suffolk, Virginia. Significance of My Dog's
Reaction: My dog, typically unresponsive to common aerial
occurrences such as birds, planes, and insects, displayed a
heightened awareness and reaction to the UAP by growling and
barking. This behavior suggests the presence of an unusual or
unfamiliar stimulus, adding an intriguing dimension to the
experience. Relevance to National Security and Aerospace Research,
given the proximity of the sighting to Langley Air Force Base, I
felt compelled to report the incident due to its potential
implications for national security and aerospace research. I am a
PhD student for Psychology and a Navy submarine veteran, and my
background and training lend credibility to this account,
underscoring the importance of documenting and analyzing this UAP
sighting. [Node 244 at Virginia Beach, VA wasn't online until later
in the year]
4-15-23 Newberg, OR 9:00PM, Rectangle shaped craft - Sighted a large
rectangular craft hovering above our property on a clear moonless
night and viewed it for about five minutes. It was a clear dark
moonless night with a full complement of stars. We live on an 8-acre
rectangular property with an old abandoned house about ¼ of the way
up the property, a new house we built about 1/2-way up the property,
and another 4 acres of woods at the top of the property, which
slopes upward most of the way. I went to check the mail and was
walking up the driveway and was in front of the old abandoned house
when I realized that something was blocking out the stars above me.
It was a rectangular-shaped craft about three times as long as it
was wide, and it was just hovering there with what I perceived to be
its “nose” pointing due east. There was a red light and a blue light
visible on the bottom of the craft; not prominent but large enough
to be easily seen. It also had what looked like two “headlights” on
the nose of the craft. They reminded me of headlights because they
emitted a clear white light such as headlights emit. I recall that I
wasn't at all afraid, just intensely curious about what it could be.
I was standing directly under it and it seemed immense, yet there
was absolutely no sound coming from it. It just hovered there. We
have tall fir trees around our property, which the craft was about
50' above, so I guesstimate that it was probably about 300' in the
air. I stood there taking in the sight for what seemed like a very
long time, but in reality, it was probably only about five minutes.
Then, suddenly, it started moving slowly eastward and only seconds
later it accelerated so fast that there was a “whoosh” and...it was
gone. It just disappeared from view. [Site 66 is just NE at
Portland, but no compelling data]
4-15-23 Ottawa, ON 10:04PM, circular shaped craft, I saw a circular
UFO at night with many colors like it had an exterior made of all TV
screens playing moving geometric patterns. I grabbed a
scope/monocular but it was hard to know if it was focused at night
but what I saw when it was focused looked like moving hexagons of
all colors on the entire exterior of the UFO. The colors were like
red, blue, green, yellow, pink, and looks like many thin lines, as
if you were to keep tracing hexagon, and then the hexagons get
bigger and bigger but every layer is a different color, and all the
different lines were moving in word out word around and around, like
that it looked like some kind of light show on the TV screen of all
moving geometric patterns. From a distance with the naked eye, it
looked like it was twinkling different colors of red, green, blue,
yellow, and it slowly moved farther and farther away and got smaller
and fainter. And me and my wife watched it for about 15 minutes. So,
it wasn’t an airplane. And it wasn’t a satellite. And there’s no
tower there. So, unless there’s a blimp or a hot air balloon with a
television exterior or like a projector inside.
4-16-23 Tybee Island, GA 6:42PM, Cylinder shaped craft – sighting
lasted 45 minutes, Object seen north of Tybee Island. Object was
seen north of Tybee Island and was stationary for a duration of
around 45 minutes then vanished out of sight. I used my IPhone 13
Pro Max zoomed out as far as its limits to take photograph. *Good
clear pic of craft.
4-17-23 Tomball, TX 5:58PM, Disk shaped craft - I was in the traffic
line looked up saw this craft and another craft eject from the main
one. Middle of the day look up and see a disk shaped craft metallic
shiny watched made several videos at one point looks like another
craft ejects from the main craft and it begins to blink white and
looks more like a ball. I was very shocked it was the middle of the
day.. one video shows an airplane in the distance and it’s clearly
not that. The background is a clear sky. April 17 2023 5:58 pm.
*Witness says they have clear video of sighting. [MADAR site 118 at
Houston had no compelling data at 28 miles]
4-17-23 Virginia Beach, VA 9:50PM, Chevron shaped craft,
extremely large light gray/white chevron with rounded nose flying 7
miles from Oceana NAS (Appeared to be making a loop around NAS).
This UFO would be the size of 3 jets flying in group formation and
had 3 bright lights located on its underside with one under the nose
and another under each wing? UFO had a low humming engine noise-not
really loud like the jets we see all the time.
4-18-23 Vernon, TX 11:44PM, Triangle shaped craft, Object traveling
south-west towards rural area of the county. dark-gray triangle
shaped craft. Massive area. On 04/18/2023 on or about 2345 hrs I was
sitting with a co-worker in a darkened area of a property just on
the outskirts of the city in a vehicle. When I blacked out my
vehicle. A moment later, I observed a triangle shape craft flying
through the night sky; the object appeared to be dark gray with
curriculum patterns on the bottom of the unknown craft. As I was
talking with my co-worker, I quickly startled him and asked him to
look towards the sky. The object was in range for less than 10 - 20
seconds before it was out of sigh over the darkened area.
4-22-23 Seneca, IL 2:34AM, Large bright object having over the corn
field, I was driving on route 6 to Seneca Illinois early in the
morning at 2:34 AM and as I came around a turn, I noticed the sky to
my left was lit bright. I could immediately see bright lights
flashing ad rotating out in the corn field approx. .5 mile from the
road. Instantly this terrified me. I could the object, large in
nature was rising above the tree line in the field. It was huge,
about the size of a 2-story house. It appeared to be silent, but the
lights were very bright. [Seneca is 40 miles SW of the nearest MADAR
site 196 at Naperville. No interesting data found]
4-22-23 Spokane Valley, WA 7:00PM, Cylinder shaped object,
Rocket-shaped object floating in place above Spokane Valley.
Multiple people on the I-90 in Spokane Valley, Washington witnessed
a stationary flying object. Depending on the angle, it looked rocket
ship shaped or cylindrical with a dome top. It was visible and
didn't move for about 20 minutes while we drove down I-90. Don't
know how long it has been visible. It must be pretty large to be
visible for so long and from different angles. At one point there
may have been a flashing light from the base of the object. [MADAR
site 37 right in Spokane had no interesting data at that time]
4-23-23 Goleta/Santa Barbara, CA 2:30PM, Triangle shaped craft,
Multiple sightings of a triangle with still lights flying by low and
a fast rate of speed and a boomerang type of craft with no lights. I
work as a paramedic in Santa Barbara County night shifts. Around
2:30 in the morning I was looking up the windshield and I saw what
it look like a triangle with lights fly pretty low to the ground
right over the ambulance. Right after that, I saw what it look like
may be a shooting star, but I’ve seen shooting stars in the past,
and this was not a shooting star. We worked our way to downtown
Santa Barbara East Beach along with my partner and we were looking
up in the sky, looking for anything else. When we saw what it looked
like a boomerang fly silently no wind no noise right above us.
Almost look like a moving shadow with no lights.We saw it for about
seven seconds before it disappeared. We called another ambulance,
which is my coworker and her partner to come witness this with us
when we saw the same craft looking like a boomerang multiple times
maybe about 10 times about 25 to 30 minutes apart throughout the
night until 0500 hrs. The interesting thing is the first sighting
that I saw in Goleta with the triangle with the bright lights flying
over the ambulance, I never saw that exact same one throughout the
night. They all appeared as boomerangs with no lights. After seeing
them multiple times downtown Santa Barbara east beach to be exact,
we went back to Goleta California to finish up the night when I
looked up, and I saw two more of those boomerang shaped crafts, with
no lights hover above us before they disappeared. My coworker who is
coming in that morning to work the day shift was able to witness two
of those crafts that morning. Including myself, it was a total of
five witnesses that we saw these crafts. [Too many incidents with
non-specific times, locations]
4-23-23 Gainesville, FL
6:04PM, Sphere shaped craft, recorded three small, grey, metallic,
spherically shaped objects flying together half a mile away from my
apartment. I looked out of the window of my apartment upon which I
saw three grey, metallic, spherically shaped objects flying outside.
The objects were approximately half a mile away, flying at a few
hundred feet above the ground. They appeared to have been relatively
small (perhaps 10 feet in diameter), flew in conjunction with one
other, and did not appear to be flying sole with the wind. They
moved at relatively low speeds and did not appear to possess any
visible forms of propulsion. I have a video of the encounter on my
phone, spanning a minute and six seconds long. I currently a student
at the University of Florida. I was the only person in my apartment
to witness this incident.
4-27-23 Losantville, IN 10:59PM, Triangle shaped craft, large craft
with multiple circular lights. The object flew past at a slow pace,
and it was low to the ground. I could make out ridges on the object,
but it obtained multiple circular lights around it. It was flashing
but there was no location as to where the light was coming from.
None of the circular lights were flashing. The craft was a dark
black triangular shape. There was no sound coming from the object.
This was not my first encounter. [madar site 44 mi NW at Fishers but
sighting not compelling and data just not there]
4-28-23 Saugerties (Malden), NY 8:56PM, Disk shaped craft - There
were lights on the object, The object emitted beams, The object
changed color, Missing time was experienced. I took off when the
craft looked like it was turning around! My friend Ian and I were
taking my daughter Karlie for a ride so she can nap. I was driving
and I saw something in the sky with many lights on it. It was too
big to be a plane and it wasn't making any sound. It was completely
quiet! I decided to park the car and use my iPhone 12 to try to get
a picture of it. We were almost at someone's house on the corner
when I took the picture you are seeing now. In that past I've seen
things but never really got any solid evidence. I took 3 pics in
total but I got only one good one. The first one is the one I'm
sending you now. The second one idk what it took a pic of and the
third photo it was hidden behind the trees. The strange thing is
after taking the photo, it was different than what we saw with our
naked eyes. As we got closer to the craft or it got closer to us, I
decided it was time to leave. There was a light coming off it like a
searchlight or a beam to take us captive. I think there was a lapse
in time of 30 mins that went by that we can't explain. This craft
was HUGE maybe big enough to be an aircraft carrier! It had red and
white lights. It definitely changed shape or appeared different in
the photo than the craft we saw with our eyes. Ian and I both agree
that we couldn't see what it really looked like with our naked eyes,
but the phone captured it the way it is, saucer or
disk-shaped! [Node 167 is only 50 milesNW but was not online
at the time]
*Pic 4-30-23 Alma, CO 2:00PM, Rectangle shaped craft,
Daytime, low flying object. Girlfriend and I were sitting on the
deck, I was watching hawks in the sky to just above but to the
south. In the background I saw an object appear from above the trees
to the west, flying between 300-400 feet, about 300 yards to the
south. I pointed it out to my girlfriend, who confirmed what I saw.
It was mostly grey, with some black on top. It was about the size
and sort of the shape of a Subaru outback, without the whole front,
hood and everything, maybe a bit wider. It was completely silent,
had no wings, no props. It held an extremely steady flight, no
wavering, very consistent. it flew to the east, maintaining speed
and altitude, eventually we couldn't see it anymore. [MADAR sites to
the NE and about 75 miles away were not online at the time (39 and
217)]
