Posted this on a fishing forum and received the expected range of responses. Thought I would share here:
“
Ok, so I am officially ready for the tinfoil hat club. This morning at 6 am I went outside to blow out the filter on my vacuum and happened to look up at the solar light on my flagpole. I saw a very large light in the sky flying my way. It looked unusual so I kept watching as it came directly over my house. I have lived by several airports and have seen a lot of balloons, fan planes, etc so I have a pretty good idea of what is in the air. I estimate that it flew over at about 1,000 ft, it was about 50 ft across and it had red, green and white lights all around it that flashed off and on in a slow strobe like fashion. By the outline of the lights, it looked triangular in shape and it made absolutely no sound. I live in the country and the only sound in the air was a rooster down the road but this thing was absolutely silent and it went by at about 200 mph because it stayed in sight for a long time and was directly overhead in good viewing position for about 40 seconds. It flew down to around Lake Palestine, hovered for a bit and then flew southwest.
I was outside of the garage and my cell phone was in my office at the other end of the house. I did not want to lose sight of it so I just stayed and watched. I kept calling my wife and got out in time to see it when it was 2-3 miles away but still clearly visible.
If it was a stealth plane, it was moving too slow and it was to large for a stealth helicopter so I really have no idea.
I have no recollection of any anal probes so I guess I am ok.”
