I think I detected a UFO.

[Rain Man]

I was driving in a really rural area a couple of days ago. It was a bright day with scattered clouds that were really high.

I was on a quiet country road with agricultural fields on both sides of me. So if you think about my field of vision, it was essentially this:

crops
ditch
road
ditch
crops

There were no trees nearby, though you could see them at a distance, maybe 1,000 feet away in various copses.

There were no other cars visible.

So I'm driving, and all of a sudden I see a shadow moving from left to right. It was maybe 30 or 40 feet in diameter, kind of round but not exactly. It was the shape of a manta ray without the wings.

It moved left to right at a notable speed, but not extremely fast. It moved at maybe 20 mph from left to right. I didn't notice on the crops, but I noticed it at the ditch on my left and then it was clear when it crossed the road, and then onto the ditch to my right. It lasted maybe 3 or 4 seconds at most.

I immediately looked up, because I wondered what it was. I heard no noise at all that would indicate a plane or drone or helicopter. But there was nothing in the sky, nothing at all.

The shadow was very clear and obvious. It was free-moving, with no long tail like a tree shadow or something. It was far too big to be a bird or drone, and not the right shape for a plane or helicopter. It was too fast to be a cloud, and there were no low clouds anyway. The shadow was discrete and roundish and clearly moving at an unnaturally fast pace.

My only conclusion is that it was an alien scout ship with a cloaking device, but even with the cloaking it still cast a shadow.

Can anyone offer an alternative explanation?

Lucky you were not abducted.

Can you by any chance close your eyes think back & remember eating a box full of oddly tasting chocalates that night?
If so I've seen the same thing multiple times..

Could they have been testing this near you?



OK: Scratch the link. Check out the videos on the front page of the Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com)

When you can only perceive a small fraction of all things that exist there's probably a lot of things out there you didn't think existed.

Science is the process for describing how and why the universe works the way it does. We're not very far along in that process.

When you think about how much of it we've actually tested or observed (necessary in science) we should essentially admit we know nothing. We're optimistic and determined but know nothing...

I can only see a fast-moving shadow of that web site. So yes, maybe.

If aliens are monitoring CP they might have determined Rain Man should be someone they keep an eye on.

Aliens are the biggest reason I am atill a Chiefs fan.

This UFO lived near you?

I posted on my Facebook back in may. I was mowing in the front yard and my neighbor came out on her elevated deck. As I was talking to her. I saw something off color zipping across the sky above her. It was moving pretty good. It was just slightly darker than the sky. It really lit up when the sun reflected off of it.
I thought maybe it was a drone and depth was playing perception issue until it went in and out of the clouds. The super high clouds. My neighbor asked what I was looking at finally. Of course my phone was inside. I walked to the front yard and followed it. It stopped mid air and just went back the other way, it was going fast enough to shoot across my entire vision of the sky in about 30 seconds.

Hopefully one of our aircraft. But it was almost invisible outside of the glare and slight color difference. Flying higher than the taller clouds and can stop on a dime at those speeds. And my stop I mean, not turning around. Just stopping and going the other way.

I think something's happening. They know that we're onto them.

After my haunted house experience I'm willing to listen to anything. Although with a grain of salt.

I think it was a Crop Duster.
I’ve had a similar experience. They fly low and quick and if there are hills they fall out of sight horizon quick.
