noisy rectangular object falling from the sky and crash landed

A friend of mine and I were out hunting, we heard a noise and a rectangular object went over us and close enough we could hear a sound and then continued down the mountain and crashed in the forest below us. basicaly it scared the heck out of us and we left.

I did call a couple of local airports to see if anything had crash landed in the area (ultrlight or hangglider) and no one knew of anything.

My friend and I have kept it pretty much to ourselves.

Just reciently we have been thinking about going to find whatever it was. We think it may still be there because of the remoteness and terrain. I have no idea what it was but can provide a few other details.

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD
