3:45 am. Witness went outside to let the dog out and have a smoke.
At first he heard a low humming sound which sounded similar to a jet
aircraft at high altitude, very quiet, very muted. As he was looking
up, his eyes scanned the skyline behind the house and he saw a large
trianglular UFO moving about 50 mph just above the tree line. He
estimated a maximum of 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile away. He reported that
for reference it probably flew directly over his neighbor's house
who lives on the hill behind him. The object came into view from the
left and moved slowly to the right until it disappeared behind the
hill and he lost sight of it. The object was a near perfect
triangle, with three white lights on each point fully illuminated,
no blinking, flashing or any sort of colored traditional navigation
lights. It was solid black and almost blended perfectly into the
night sky. It also had a circular light in the front center that was
larger than the other three lights. It looked almost like a sphere
or illuminated hole in the middle. The lights on the tips weren’t
pointed like you would expect from aircraft but were what he would
describe as general area illumination, much smaller than the
circular large light in the center. It was so close and so low that
any traditional aircraft, helicopter, B2, etc , he said, would have
nearly blown the roof off the surrounding houses. It wasn’t silent
but was quiet like a mild hum, not a buzz like you see with drones.
Also the size was incompatible to any drone he'd ever seen. It was
larger in size than a jet liner flying at that altitude. He had
spent 8 years on multiple Air Force bases with and had seen B2s,
F117s, and all manner of fighter and bomber aircraft and he has
never seen something even close to that. He said he was a little
spooked. (MUFON) [July 2022, NMR]

MADAR DATA
The spreadsheet for the incident comes from the MADAR site 35, which
is Maryville, 20 miles NW of the sighting location. It shows a
system recal a minute before the reported incident, which means the
data should be very accurate. The field had been 2.25 milligaus
right before and had jumped to 9.75 during the first minute. No
telling what the readings were during those 60-seconds, since the
dataprobe had not gone into alert mode at once line per second. That
would have required the node to have had a 30 milligaus or higher
reading, and it never got higher than 9.75. However, the onboard
compass had been at 201.7 and it had varied to 203.74 degrees, and
within (2) mins had increased to 204.56 which is considered
significant.
PROXIMITY
Site 35 at Maryville, TN is 20 miles south of the sighting area at
Powell.
