Sketch of Object Prepared by Witness.

Fayetteville is in Central North Carolina.

Date of Sighting: October 9, 2009
Time of Sighting: 6:30 PM PDT
Location of Sighting: Fayetteville, North Carolina (See Map)

Description: I saw a white oval object with a white ring of light surrounding it. It was coming from right to left. I didn't see any wings or hear anything coming from it. There was a black airplane circling around the area for about an hour. The object was in my sight for about 30 seconds before it disappeared into the tree lines.

Note: The sun set at 6:48 PM in Fayetteville according to solar tables. Skies were clear so the witness would have had good conditions to characterize the object. Given the report I have no explanation for this sighting. The witness's sketch above illustrates a "saucer-type" object. I don't know if the black plane circling in the area after the sighting is relevant.
