Craft approached moving slowly, it seemed. There were 2 disc sections. The forward section looked slightly smaller than the aft section
I had mentioned to the people i was with to look at this thing. We were all astounded at the size of the craft. It’s hard to actually distinguish size but I’d say the craft was about a quarter mile wide and a half mile in length. It displayed no lighting and had no noise of any propulsion system. I could distinguish what appeared to be a tubular like railing which connected the forward section with the aft section. In hindsight I kept telling myself it was like a double Star Trek like system which obviously operated as a single craft. The craft moved in a singular direction until it was out of sight. I don’t believe we spoke to one another after the experience until a day later. I’ve worked in the military aircraft industry for DoD for over 30 years and even in developmental programs have I ever seen anything this immense. Was looking at President Carter's experience to note his proximity of his sighting , but no correlation. The craft passed right to our left as it passed directly over us. That’s when I actually noticed the difference in elevation of the forward and aft sections of the craft.
