something had flown over his house from behind him, coming from the
northeast, and was moving away from him towards the southwest.
The UAP appeared low in elevation, possibly as low as 300 feet .
He
esti mated it was roughly the s i ze of a large SUV based on hi s elevati on
estimation.
From -
viewing perspective, at arm's length, the UAP
appeared to be the size of the space between his thumb and pointer finger,
which he approximated as 5 inches.
-
did not thi nk he would have
noticed the UAP if it was a cloudy night.
-
first noticed the
object's movement before actually seeing its silhouette .
When ­
first spotted the UAP he thought it appeared almost see-through, and it had
what appeared to be a haze or distortion around it.
He further described it
appearing as if you were looking at it through mist; and that there were
ripples like you were looking at an object that is underwater.
The UAP looked like a perfect triangle, however because of his viewing
angle, he couldn't definitively say whether it was isosceles or equilateral
in shape.
-
stated the UAP could have been either dark gray or silver
in color which would have blended into the night sky, and with the
surrounding distortion, it may have caused it to have the appearance of
being translucent.
-
thought the triangle had rounded edges and
corners, but stated the distortion around the UAP may have made the edges
less sharp in appearance.
The UAP traveled away from him and his wife with
a point forward- facing.
As it traveled away from them, along the trailing,
flat , back edge, it had what appeared to be a band of silverish blue light.
-
hypothesized that the light could have been caused by the mode of
propulsion for the UAP.
The UAP moved in a straight path at a consistent elevation.
It moved
very quickly and covered a large distance in the short time they observed
the UAP.
Just before they lost sight of the UAP, the left side of the
triangle banked up quickly to an almost vertical orientation, but it did not
change path or elevation.
The UAP was completely silent, and -
did
not feel any rumble, static, or any other effects from the object as it
passed over him.
-
residence was near an airport and he frequently
observed aircraft, including private planes and helicopters, flying over his
house.
He was very familiar with how a normal aircraft should appear and
sound flying over his house.
-
witnessed the UAP for a total of four
seconds from when he initially saw it to when he lost sight of it to the
southwest, potentially over
The UAP
disappeared from his visual sight sooner than -
expected it should
have .
-
stated the entirety of the observation was so quick he did
not have a chance to get his phone out to take a photo or video.

was very familiar with all USAF aircraft, including the l atest
unmanned drones.
The UAP he and his wife observed did not match anything he
encountered before.
The UAP was onl y a triangl e without any extra wings,
fins, or any bubbl e for the engine housing .
Immediately following the event, both -
and hi s wi fe, who also
witnessed the UAP, went i nside to separate rooms and
