Initial data
The main witness was in the backyard with his son to take out the dog.
He was sitting and looking at the stars (the sky was clear and there was no wind), which was typical for him, when suddenly you saw this dark thing flying over their heads. His 10-year-old son looked up and saw the same thing.
He moved slowly and confidently. It was dark outside, so there was enough light to make out the outline of this object. It looked more like a creature than an inanimate ship.
It was difficult to judge the distance by height, but it was definitely above the tree line, but below the plane. It was probably 20-30 feet (6-9 m) long and 15 feet (4.5 m) wide.
Around the time of the observation, the plane actually flew on the other side of the house; he was flying as if low when he came in for landing. He had all the lights on, and he would say that this thing was probably at the height of this plane. It was dark in color, ash-blackish-brown in color. It looked like it had no wings, and there was something like a bump on the edges, like a drop.
Its underside was very smooth and flat, like the belly of a stingray. There was no light or sound in it; it was completely silent and glided smoothly across the sky. It had what he described as a tail, although it looked slightly narrower than its body. They could watch it for about 3-5 minutes before it disappeared from sight.
It reminded the witness of some kind of creature from the ocean, like a whale.

The main witness was in his backyard with his son to take the dog out. He was sitting there looking up at the stars (the sky was clear and no wind) a typical thing for him to do when all of the sudden thee was this dark thing flying over their heads. His 10 year old son looked up and saw the same thing. It was moving at a slow steady pace. It was dark out so there was just enough light to make out the outline of this object. It looked more like some kind of creature and not an inanimate craft. It was hard to judge the distance in height, but it appeared to definitely be above the tree line but lower than an airplane. It was probably 20-30feet in length and 15 feet wide. Around the time of the sighting, an airplane did go by on the other side of the house; it was flying kind of low as it was coming in to land. It had all its lights on and he would say this thing was probably as high as that plane. It was dark in color, kind of an ashy blackish brown color. It didn’t appear to have wings, and was sort of lumpy around the edges, kind of like a blob. Its belly looked to be very smooth and flat, sort of like the belly of a stingray. It had no lights, no sound; it was totally silent and was gliding very smoothly through the sky. It had what he described as a tail although it just looked a little narrower than the body of it. They were able to watch it for about 3-5 minutes before it was out of view. It reminded the witness of some kind of creature from the ocean, like a whale.
