Science I think I detected a UFO. - Page 2

**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?

Good thing they didn’t run you over. I hear the Greys are a French speaking species as well as irresponsible drivers. Damn Zeta Reticulans!

It was probably a bird or something. Aircraft shadows move really ****ing fast. A little 172 or something like that a shadow would be visible on the road much less than 3 seconds. Plus the higher it is the faster the shadow moves (I think I have that physics right) Even loaded ag spray planes which are really heavy and slow and close to the ground would be across the road in a second or less.

Were you near the Skinwalker Ranch??

Not only Rainman.

A friend and I both saw a very small object hover over our windshield for several seconds as we drove through the desert outside of El Paso, TX sometime around 1984-85. It matched our pace exactly for a while, then shot away in the direction we were traveling at a highly accelerated rate.

I've never tried to guess what it might have been. I like carrying the experience of the "U" part of my UFO sighting.

Anal probe?

I would say it probably was a plane.. Or a glitch in the Matrix…

Sounds like a dust devil with very little dust

I really hope you did see aliens. Although if they could get here and are anything like us, we are screwed.

They are here, based in Columbia Mo. We call them Tigers so the rest of the world can tell the difference in between them and humans.

Not that I know of. However, a day earlier I suddenly had some gastrointestinal distress with no warning and no likely cause. If the aliens can displace time, they could have reversed two days for me.

That's probably as good of a non-alien theory as it gets. I don't know if there was wind or not, but the shadow had distinct borders and wasn't shape-shifting. So I still have a poorly cloaked alien ship as my leading theory.

What you saw was the shadow of Elon Musk's ego passing in front of the sun

bRainman....

Had you by any chance recently walked down a street in downtown Denver? Did the air smell like katipan's hair?
