The witness described the object as potato-shaped with distinct edges and a creamy or whitish opalescent color. According to the document, the object appeared somewhat translucent with a slight shimmer.
What was unusual about the object's surface?
The witness stated that the object was made up of articulating fish scales or panels that were non-symmetrical, non-overlapping, and irregularly shaped.
