Location: Owensboro, KY, USA
Location details: Field next to my house, where I lived at the time

Shape: Disk

Saucer disk larger than a large SUV ascended from the field next to my house, where I lived at the time, in a tumbling motion.

On Friday, May 21, 2021, probably around 7:00-7:30 in the evening but before dark. I was sitting outside on my back patio enjoying the nice weather and watching the evening sky before the sun went down. My house is next to farmland to the west. Something caught my eye to the south of the barn in the field next to my house. When I looked that direction, it was a dark colored saucer ascending from an area just south of the barn heading north and rising at about a 45-degree angle. Against the lit sky, the saucer appeared to be black or charcoal gray. There was no sound coming from it, and what was strange is that the saucer was moving in a tumbling motion. I watched it till it disappeared in the clouds. I'm guessing the saucer was possibly tucked in somewhere around the tree line to the south of the barn. The barn is maybe 300 feet or so from my house. There was no mistaking what the object was because it was so close and still daylight. I would describe the size of the saucer to be at least that of a very large SUV (or slightly larger) tumbling through the sky. It continued to move in the tumbling motion until it disappeared in the clouds. Unfortunately, I did not have my cell phone outside with me to record the sighting.
