Initial data
The owner of the appliance store saw a dim ball of aluminum color with flanges at the center and a window at the top, which hung about 4 feet (1.2 m) above the road ahead of him. He estimated it at 25 feet (7.6 m) in diameter.
When he was in 10 feet (3 m) from it, the object took off and quickly disappeared from sight.
Two ledge-like antennas that were visible from the top, and two legs - bottom, between them you could see the propeller, which is rotated slowly until the object hovered. He was moving faster during the ascent.

9:05 a.m. EST. The owner of an appliance store saw a dull aluminum-colored sphere with a flange around the middle and a window at the top hovering about 4 feet over the road ahead of him. He estimated it to be 25 feet in diameter. When he was 10 feet from it, the object took off and swiftly rose out of sight. Two projections like antennae were visible on the top and two legs underneath, with an apparent propeller between them that revolved slowly while the object was hovering, faster during ascent.
