Occurred : 7/27/2010 19:30 (Entered as : 07/27/10 19:30) Reported: 7/28/2010 1:30:00 PM 13:30 Posted: 7/28/2010 Location: Metz, WV Shape: Cigar Duration: 2 min
Cigar shaped no wings or tail. no sound or contrail. Disappeared. On July 27, 2010 at approximately 19:30 my roommates and I were sitting on our front porch. My mother’s boyfriend, noticed something gliding through the sky. The object was noticed in the eastern sky flying in a SSW direction. We had visual observation of the craft for about 5 minutes before it faded out of sight. The craft was a silver cigar shape with a dark band in the middle. I could not make out any wings or a tail. It was completely silent, and there was no contrail. I live in the hills. Most planes go out of sight over a hill, but unlike most airplanes I see, this did not go over the horizon out of sight. Rather, the object seemed to get smaller and smaller, until it was no longer visible. There was a sense of confusion upon realizing all the strange attributes of this craft. I managed to remember to grab my camera and I was able to capture several photos on a Nikon D-3000 DSLR camera.
