UFO spotted over Oak Ridge TN.

Near the hour of 13:45 our family arrived at the park near Lenior City located 10 mile south west of Knoxville and 14 mile due south of Oak Ridge. It was a perfect day to fly kites having semi-clear skies and a steady wind.

I was getting the first of three kites into the air when I spotted a reflection in the sky. It seemed to look like a jet at 45,000 feet and thought nothing of it.

A few minutes later the kite swung across the object again, but had not moved in the sky.

The next time I saw the object again, I was helping my daughter with her kite. I pointed the object out to her and she noted that the object was moving side-to-side trying to hover in one position.

The four of us watched to object for an hour.

I believe the object to be hovering at an altitude of 23,000 ft, 9 mile away and a diameter of 75 to 100 feet.
