Hello, I'm writing to you because I didn't see a fax number on the NUFORC site and the webform is not secure, so I did not feel comfortable entering in my personal information. Also, my incident happened last Wednesday (1 week ago) so I know mailing this information would take too long. I did leave a voicemail message today as well.

Here is my story: I left my sister's house on Castine Way on Wednesday, 10/14/2020 at 11:30 pm EST (23:30 hours). As I drove down the street, I noticed lights ahead that were hovering over a house and not moving. I slowed down so I could try to make out what I was seeing. It was a large object (around 30 FT wide & 20 FT tall) hovering in the sky about roughly 50 feet above the roof of the house directly across the street from the Castine Way stop sign. Anyone with a good baseball arm could have thrown a stone and hit it.

As I approached the stop sign, I realized it was a lot bigger than I thought- jet black and I could only make out the outline of the craft against the night sky...there were no other markings that I saw, only the lights and outline. It also made no sound that I could hear. I did have my windows up, but the neighborhood was completely silent and no one was outside so if it did display an engine-type sound, I should have been able to hear that considering how close I was to this thing (probably around 150 ft away from me).

It had 2 yellow lights on either side of the craft and 3 red lights in the middle. It looked like an upside-down bell but a little wider, more triangle shaped but with rounded edges, and the lights were on the front, not on the side or underneath. It was very thick...very solid looking--not flat. There was nothing protruding on the craft, no wings or blades. It was very large, as I mentioned before--like the size of my living room w/ vaulted ceilings.

My first thought was this must be a VERY expensive military surveillance drone due to its size but why the heck is it hovering in our community this late at night?!? It started moving toward me so I floored the gas and sped away as fast as I could. I wasn't sure if it was following me until I turned left on Zephyr Ct and there it was. It was on my left moving VERY slowly over the houses on Maria Ct. heading in the direction of Ashley High School. I raced down the road and pulled into my garage, jumped out to take a picture of it and it was already gone. I have to tell you, that was the most frightening thing I've ever encountered. I made a police report the next day (10/15/2020) and the officer confirmed that “none of their drones were outside at time” and “their drones are only 24 INCHES wide.” I did not take any pics or videos because I was seriously so frightened of being abducted that I could not look away. I did, however, press my sister’s phone number that is saved on my vehicle’s home screen to call my sister via bluetooth. She can attest that I was screaming, “Come outside! Come outside! I think I’m witnessing a UFO!!” She thought I was joking and hung up. I’ve included a hand-drawn picture of what I saw below & attached.

Thank you for looking into this matter. If it was military, it is quite concerning that they are in a residential neighborhood flying so close to houses.

Sincerely, Sincerely, Kristin Hunt 313 Maria Ct.
