CRAFT LARGER THAN A COMMERCIAL A/C, LOOKED LIKED A COMMERCIAL A/C, BUT HOVERED IN MID-AIR AT 300 FEET!

THIS REPORT COMES FROM A COUPLE TRAVELLING FROM COLORADO TO THE VICINITY OF WACO, TX. WHILE DRIVING LATE AFTER NOON ON 30 MAY 2002, A MAN AND WOMAN IN EARLY 20'S ALONG WITH THEIR CHILDREN AGES 2-4 WITNESSED A POSSIBLE COMMERCIAL AIRLINER CIRCLE AS IF IN A HOLDING PATTERN ABOVE THEM OVER THE INTERSTATE. WHAT WAS DIFFERENT WITH THIS AIRCRAFT, AS THE WITNESS DESCRIBED, IT WAS LARGER THAN A NORMAL COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, AS WITNESSED BY BOTH ADULTS, THIS CRAFT STOPPED DEAD IN THE AIR ABOVE THEM AND THE INTERSTATE ABOUT AT THE HEIGHT OF 300 FEET.

AS DESCRIBED, THE EMOTIONS OF THE WOMAN, SHE WAS "FREAKED" OUT AT THIS FEAT, AND HER MALE COMPANION, WAS LEFT IN THE STATE OF DISBELIEF. WHAT MADE THE INCIDENT MORE BIZARRE THE CRAFT AGAIN CIRCLE THE AREA, AND CAME TO A STOP AGAIN ABOVE THE COUPLE AND THIS INTERSTATE OUTSIDE OF WACO, TX. THE COUPLE COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT THEY WERE SEEING, AS THIS WAS NOT NORMAL FOR AIRCRAFT LARGER THAN COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS DOING THESE KIND OF MANUVERS. THE MOTHER OF THIS WOMEN WHO SAW THE CRAFT REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO ME 24 HRS AFTER THE INCIDENT. I WILL BE INTERVIEWING THE WITNESSES AS SOON AS THEY ARRIVE BACK IN COLORADO WITH DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICS OF THE INCIDENT. THE WITNESS STATED TO HER MOTHER OVER THE PHONE, THAT SHE AND HER MALE COMPANION WERE GOING TO STOP AT THE LOCATION WHERE THIS TOOK PLACE ON THEIR WAY BACK, HOPING TO SEE THIS AGAIN... FUTHER DETAILS AND COPIES OF THE DRAWINGS WILL BE POSTED TO THE NUFORC WEBSITE. RON WRIGHT, TRIAD RESEACH-COLORADO
