Location: Carmel, NY, USA

Shape: Cylinder

Thinner than a blimp but fatter than a cigar, flying low and slow. Close enough for witness to see ribbed features.

Object was thinner than a blimp, but fatter than a cigar-shaped. It had no wings, no windows and it was flying low enough that features like this would've been perceptible. It appeared to be made of metal and it was close enough that the witness could see ribbed features, almost able to make out bolts in it as though individual sheets of metal were fashioned together vertically. It felt like something manmade, somewhat primitive, not by any means advanced, but it was like nothing he'd ever seen before. It flew slow overhead across the Taconic State Parkway. He watched it fly over his car until it was completely out of sight (mainly due to the winding of the road) but it flew slow and low. He watched it from the driver's side window to the farthest stretch of the right end of his dashboard. Nothing protruded from it like you'd expect to see from a blimp. It felt like machinery, like something that should've had an engine making a lot of noise, especially for ! how low it was flying, but when he lowered the volume on his radio and opened his window all he heard was typical highway sounds (wheels on the pavement).
