Shiny propeller-shaped aluminum object

James Toney and Robert Huggins, both employees of a rug cleaning firm in a truck headed west, saw a shiny propeller-shaped aluminum object, with 10-12 small cups protruding from either blade, 6-8 feet long, 1.5-2 (or 1-2) feet wide, above trees about 30 foot altitude to the northwest about 300 feet away heading south about 170° approaching to about 100 feet at closest. Object glided across the road at 25-30 mph in a slight descent then made a 20° bank to the east, went down in a wooded area; witnesses stopped truck got out to look but object disappeared behind trees; later search found no traces. No sound or trail.


An object was sighted that had an appearance and performance beyond the capability of known earthly aircraft.

One metallic propeller-shaped object, about 300 feet across, was observed by two male witnesses on a bridge for 15 minutes.
