Occurred : 8/21/2020 10:15 (Entered as : 08/21/20 10:15) Reported: 8/22/2020 9:44:03 AM 09:44 Posted: 8/27/2020 Location: Anchorage, AK Shape: Disk Duration: 10-12 minutes Characteristics: There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Elmendorf Airbase launched 3 F-22 jets with afterburners which caught my attention. The jets were going up vertical and the first jet flew by an disc shaped object at approximately 15k - 20k feet altitude. The jets did not circle or engage the disc after the first jet flew by. The disc was moving South and moving slower than the jets were. The disc slowly gained altitude and distance from my view. My friend confirmed this sighting and when he had his binoculars, the disc was going out of our view. The disc was dark in color and the Sun was reflected from it or it was a bright light on the side of the disc. The disc was viewable by us for at least 10 minutes because of the disc not moving fast. The jets did not return toward the disc while we watched. The disc was approximately the same size as the F-22 that flew by it. The disc made no sound that we could hear.
