         something had flown over his house from behind him, coming from the
         northeast, and was moving away from him towards the southwest.

             The UAP appeared low in elevation, possibly as low as 300 feet . He
         est i mated it was roughly the s i ze of a large SUV based on h i s elevat i on
         estimation. From -            vie wing perspective, at arm's length, the UAP
         appeared to be the size of the space between his thumb and pointer finger,
         which he approximated as 5 inches. -            did not thi nk he would have
         noticed the UAP if it was a cloudy night. -            first noticed the
         object's movement before actually seeing its silhouette .         When -
         first spotted the UAP he thought it appeared almost see-through, and it had
         what appeared to be a haze or distortion around it. He further described it
         appearing as if you were looking at it through mist; and that there were
         ripples like you were looking at an object that is underwater.

             The UAP looked like a perfect triangle, however because of his viewing
          angle, he couldn't definitively say whether it was isosce les or equilateral
          in shape. -         stated the UAP could have been either dark gray or silver
          in color which would have blended into the night sky, and with the
          surrounding distortion, it may have caused it to have the appearance of
         being translucent. -          thought the triangle had rounded edges and
          corners, but stated the distortion around the UAP may have made the edges
          less sharp in appearance. The UAP trave led away from him and his wife with
          a point forward- facing. As it traveled away from them, along the trailing,
          flat , back edge, it had what appeared to be a band of silverish blue light.
         -         hypothesized that the light could have been caused by the mode of
          propulsion for the UAP.

             The UAP moved in a straight path at a consistent elevation. It moved
         very quickly and covered a large distance in the short time they observed
         the UAP. Just before they lost sight of the UAP, the left side of the
         triangle banked up quickly to an almost vertical orientation, but it did not
         change path or elevation. The UAP was completely silent, and -          did
         not feel any rumble , static , or any other effects from the object as it
         passed over him. -            residence was near an airport and he frequently
         observed aircraft, including private planes and helicopters, flying over his
         house. He was very familiar with how a normal aircraft should appear and
         sound flying over his house. -          witnessed the UAP for a total of four
         seconds from when he initially saw it to when he lost sight of it to the
         southwest , potentially over                                      The UAP
         disappeared from his visua l sight sooner than -        expected it should
         have . -        stated the entirety of the observation was so quick he did
         not have a chance to get his phone out to take a photo or video.

            -       was very familiar with a ll USAF aircraft, including the l atest
         unmanned drones. The UAP he and his wife observed did not match anything he
         encountered before. The UAP was on l y a triangl e without any extra wings,
         fins, or any bubbl e for the engine housing .



            Immediately fo llowing the event, both -       and h i s wi fe, who also
         witnessed the UAP, went i nside to separate rooms and                  -
                               -         wife remembered seeing a dark seem running
         around the edge of the UAP,
