3-4 very large dirt brown animal-like objects floating along side clouds Middlebourne WV I’m not sure if it was the fall of 2009 or 2008. I was on my back deck. It was around 5-6 pm. The sky was blue and there were white puffy clouds. I saw three to four dirt brown in color (not gray or black like birds look), and besides they were much bigger than birds..but they looked animal-like I knew they weren’t birds, because birds soar or fly and these were just floating with the cloud. But they had a form. They were definitely not balloons. I also could tell they were quite large, because if a buzzard, the bigget bird around here was that high it would have been about a sixth to an eighth of the size of these things, and it would have been soaring and flying. They were stationary and were in a line side by side but separate individual objects, not moving any parts, just floating with the clouds. I looked at them for a short while but could not figure out what they were. They didn’t look like anything I had ever seen before. I went into my house to get a pair of binoculars, but when I got back outside, they weren’t there. I have never seen anything like this before and have not seen them since.

3-4 very large dirt brown animal-like objects floating along side clouds

Middlebourne WV I’m not sure if it was the fall of 2009 or 2008. I was on my back deck. It was around 5-6 pm.

The sky was blue and there were white puffy clouds.

I saw three to four dirt brown in color (not gray or black like birds look), and besides they were much bigger than birds..but they looked animal-like I knew they weren’t birds, because birds soar or fly and these were just floating with the cloud. But they had a form. They were definitely not balloons.

I also could tell they were quite large, because if a buzzard, the bigget bird around here was that high it would have been about a sixth to an eighth of the size of these things, and it would have been soaring and flying.

They were stationary and were in a line side by side but separate individual objects, not moving any parts, just floating with the clouds.

I looked at them for a short while but could not figure out what they were. They didn’t look like anything I had ever seen before.

I went into my house to get a pair of binoculars, but when I got back outside, they weren’t there.

I have never seen anything like this before and have not seen them since.
