Description (In Witness's Own Words): I was a child of about 10. I and my sister were playing outside of my grandparent's house. I heard a sound of a jet and looked up, however, what I saw was not an airplane. It was a circular craft, with paneling of what was apparently steel, some panels darker than others. The panel sizes were irregular, but of rectangular shape. I can only estimate its size at about 30 feet in diameter. It was traveling northward and my guess is it was at an altitude of perhaps 1,000 feet, maybe a bit more. I told my sister to go get my dad, but he never came out and when I looked back up it had disappeared. I do not know what this object was, a year or so later I saw pictures of US aircraft which had been developed in the fifties and assumed it was that, but upon growing up, realized that those aircraft were no longer in use. I have reported this once before several years ago at a similar site. I know it was spring because the forsithia bush was in bloom.

Second Report in Response to My Questions: Here is my best attempt to reconstruct a 22 year old memory. As I mentioned it was accompanied by the sound of a jet, or turbine. I am normally a cynic when it comes to such things, but as a historian I have not discovered any government project that resembles it. It was just a fleeting glimpse and I regret not keeping my eyes on it longer. I also mentioned the fact that the panels appeared to be somewhat burnished, I have tried to illustrate that, however not all the panels were burnished, as shown by my drawing.

Investigator's Notes: The witness indicates that he is cynical regarding UFOs and believes that he may have seen a military aircraft. I know of no military aircraft flying around in the mid 1980s that resembles the drawing provided by the witness.
