“Yeah, I would believe that it was some kind of military experiment before I would believe it was and alien ship.”
That is a very logical and proper response, as it goes to the best probability. The problem is the speeds/changes in speeds typically described are not possible by earthly manned craft, nor by any know robotic craft.
This takes us in the direction of light effects from the ground or something completely unknown (which doesn’t have to mean extra-terrestrial).
Of course, the fun part of this sighting is that it’s in the same general area as the famous Snippy the horse incident, precursor of the cow mutilation festivities which also happened in this area.
Google a couple of things and get back with me:
TR-3B
Die Glocke
Tesla anti-gravity
There is much more possible by manned aircraft than is common knowledge.
