FBI Serial-4: Linear gray object that vanished mid-air
Illustrations
AI-generated illustration — not actual footage or evidence; an interpretive depiction based on the documented account
About 28 minutes after the Serial-3 sighting at the same facility, a drone pilot in the second of three survey vehicles saw — through the upper third of his windshield — a linear, metallic-gray object with a brilliant white light on its eastern side. No wings, no exhaust; smaller than a 737 but bigger than any drone, at roughly 5,000 ft AGL moving east-to-west parallel to the ground. After 5–10 seconds the light extinguished and the object simply vanished. That night the witness experienced unusual sleeplessness, vivid dreams and a region-wide hotel TV outage.
Key quotes
“"The object stayed same size and kept same light intensity... the light went out and the object vanished. The sky was clear and [REDACTED] couldn't find the object again."
