Date:
October 27, 1997
Location: (Location unknown)
From
the witness: "I observed an aircraft, approx. 150-200ft
above ground level and approx 300-500ft slant range from
my location. It was rolling out of a right bank and the
streetlights were illuminating it enough so that I could
see a distinct silhouette of the fuselage and the underbelly.
This object appeared to be the same color as the night
sky, flat black or dark gray. There were no lights, no
exhaust flames and no engine noise... just absolute silence!"

Report
from the witness (no location is provided for this sighting):
"I'm
a police officer on the midnight shift. I also hold a
commercial pilot's license, and have extensive military
experience regarding flight training at night (aided and
unaided).
October
27, 1997 at 3:40 am, I was standing outside my patrol
car in an unlit parking lot facing west. A flickering
movement in the night sky drew my attention skyward. I
observed an aircraft, approx. 150-200 ft above ground
level and approx 300-500 ft slant range from my location.
It was rolling out of a right bank and the streetlights
were illuminating it enough so that I could see a distinct
silhouette of the fuselage and the underbelly.
This
object appeared to be the same color as the night sky,
flat black or dark gray. There were no lights, no exhaust
flames and no engine noise... just absolute silence! There
were numerous circular protrusions spread symmetrically
across the bottom. I estimated the craft to be approx
70 ft long, 30 ft wide and 10 ft high.
When
it rolled out of its bank, it disappeared southbound no
faster than 100 knots. The total time of this sighting
was approx 10-15 seconds. Afterward, I was left with an
ominous feeling one would get from such a portentous presence."
