Science I think I detected a UFO.

**Rain Man** · 09-01-2022, 08:56 PM

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?
