On the evening of June 8, 2014, a mother driving with her 14-year-old son noticed a metal object in the sky.

At first they thought it was a plane, but the reflection of the sunlight from it seemed very bright. Initially, the object seemed small, but this changed as it approached. As it approached, it appeared gray with an oval shape. Her son quickly took 13 photos in about 8 seconds. 

Soon after, they lost sight of the object while exiting the freeway. Analysis of the photos showed that the apparent size of the object in the sky is approximately the size of the full moon. 

The photo analysis excluded the possibility of insects, birds, bats or ordinary aircraft as objects in 13 photos. 

The object had the shape of a disk and was located at a distance of 500 to 1900 feet (150-570 m).

Summary:   A mother driving and with her 14 year old son noticed a metallic object in the sky in the late afternoon of June 8, 2014. At first they thought it was a plane but the reflection of sunlight from it appeared very bright. Initially the object appeared small but that changed as it got closer. As it approached it appeared grey with an oval shape. Her son rapidly took 13 photos within about 8 seconds. Shortly thereafter they lost track of the object as they exited the freeway. Analysis of the photos revealed that the object’s apparent size in the sky was roughly that of the full moon. Photo analysis eliminated the possibility of an insect, bird, bat, or conventional aircraft as the object in the 13 photos. The object was disk shaped and its distance was between 500 to 1900 feet away. This would fit with an object between 5 to 20 feet in size and traveling between 150 to 600 mph.
