UFO - Small Black Box Hovering Over Witnesses Home At Renton Washington

Date: July 2010

Time: Late afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Renton Washington.
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of Objects: 1
Shape of Objects: Rectangular.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was getting a solar panel installation estimate on my house. The woman providing the quote was measuring the area on my roof for the install. I was standing in the front yard watching her walk around on the roof. I then noticed a small black box hovering in the sky over my house. I have no way to know how high it was. I just stared at it for a few seconds.

No reflections, but it didn't seem to be a perfect rectangle. The western edge seemed to have some "imperfections". I called out to Aimee (the woman measuring on the roof). I kept saying "what is that? Can you see that?" It turns out that she doesn't have the best eyesight and really couldn't figure out what I was pointing at. I then ran back inside to get binoculars and when I returned, it was gone. It hadn't been moving at all before, and then it was completely gone moments later.

It was sunny. No pictures of it. I've thought about it on and off since and thought I should just report it. I could call the company that did the install to see if I could get the exact date of the estimate. Let me know if it's important enough to get that info.

Box Or Rectangular Shaped UFO 30 Miles NW Of San Antonio Texas

Date: 2009
Time: Daytime sighting.

Hello, I am writing to say that I, too, saw a box shaped, or rectangular shaped UFO myself. I, too, Googled that term and read the story of the rectangular UFO on Sightings.com, and am responding to the Brian Vike request for reports of rectangular UFOs. I live out in the country about 30 miles NW of San Antonio, Texas.

Last year, in absolutely clear, cloudless weather, on a warm day I saw something which I could not identify.

I was outside in my front yard and saw, in the sky at about a 45 degree angle up from the ground, an object which had the proportions of a dollar bill. That is, two or more times wider than it was tall, with square corners. It was the color of coin silver, or a slightly yellowish, dull silver-gray color. I saw it only in this shape, like a flat, two-dimensional object. If it had depth, or 3 dimensions, I did not see that, as I saw it only on that one side.

The object was without features except for an oval, or ellipse, centered both horizontally and vertically, which took up a bout maybe 15% of the area on that side. All color was the same grayish silver.

It seemed to me to be rather close, maybe a few hundred feet or closer, but I just cannot judge the distance at all, as there was no reference for me to use in determining distance or size.

I was nervous at seeing it, and, since I was alone at home at the time, I just went inside, after about a minute, rather than watch it. I was afraid that if it saw me, it might "get" me. I experienced no missing time as a result, so I escaped!! Sort of silly, I know, but it was a strange thing to see.

The only other thing I noticed that morning that got my attention is that there seemed to be several jets that flew around in the area, criss-crossing the sky at different times. Not all at once, but across three hours or so. I note this because out in the country where I am, we see only jets on approach to the San Antonio International Airport and occasionally a propeller driven plane going somewhere else. Military jets zoom by at a few thousand feet, but do not criss-cross the sky. They fly always in a westerly to easterly path.

So, that is my odd little story. This is the only UFO that I have ever seen.

Please add this to the stories you have of rectangular objects in the sky.

Thank you.

Indiana Box Shaped UFO Sighting

Date: September 24, 2010

Time: Approx: 5:30 p.m.

Hello Brian, I'm writing because I Googled "box-shaped object sky Indiana" and instantly came to this article: http://the-v-factor-paranormal.blogspot.com/2010/07/large-box-shaped-ufo-seen-on-i-80.html

I Googled that particular phrase because I saw something odd in the sky about a week ago.

My wife and I live in Texas and had flown into Indianapolis on Friday, Sep 24, 2010. We were heading to Lafayette for a couple of days, and rented a car to make the last leap of the journey. We were on the road and leaving Indianapolis by about 5:00pm that evening. Not too far into our drive, I noticed something peculiar in the sky. At this point, we were on I-465 and close to exiting onto I-65. It would have been in the general 5:30'ish pm time frame. Still broad daylight outside.

So as I was driving, an object in the sky caught my eye. It was pretty much straight ahead and low to the horizon. Distance to the object was very hard to judge, but it wasn't close. If I were forced to put a number to the distance I would guesstimate in the 3 - 5 mile range. If it was indeed that far out, thinking about what a large commercial airliner would look like at any of those distances, this would have been several times larger.

What I saw was a rectangle, plain and simple! It was roughly two and a half to three times longer than it was tall, with sharp corners. It was dull gray in color, several shades darker than the (clear) sky behind it, but not overly attention grabbing.

I didn't notice any lights or reflections. It was moving at what I would call a slow pace, from our left to right (so east, to east-northeast). It was low enough that we would lose sight of it behind the trees as we drove.

I pointed it out to my wife and said something along the lines of "hey look, a UFO!". At the time, I was just joking. I will be the first to admit that I'm fascinated with UFO stories. I don't know that I fully believe that we are, or have been visited, but I'm open to the idea. My wife just rolls her eyes and leaves the room if I'm watching a show on UFO's. :) So we have a difference of opinions there and I was pointing it out just to push her buttons, fully expecting to explain the object as we got closer.

We never really seemed to get closer to it though. We were able to see it for at least 5 minutes and although traffic was heavy, it was flowing fine at the time so we were going 60mph or so. This is about the only thing I have to base my distance estimate above on. It was moving away from us at about 90 degrees, so as we got closer to where it would have crossed the road, it had moved on along its own path and we eventually lost it for good due to trees along the road.

While I can't tell you what it was, I can tell you what it was not. It was not a meteor, a cloud, swamp gas, a satellite, or the space station. It was absolutely, positively not a jet, a prop plane, or a helicopter. If I am completely wrong on the distance scale and it was considerably closer than I'm saying, then given it's size in the sky, we would have been able to clearly make out traditional features like propellers, rotors, wings, etc. There were none.

We actually were never able to make out any "depth" to the object either. It may have just been the way that we were lined up with it the entire time, but it was more like a flat plane (as in a two-dimensional surface, not as in "airplane"). This made both my wife and I comment that it must be an advertisement banner being pulled by a small airplane. The speed it appeared to be moving would have been acceptable for that scenario. But there was no small airplane and no discernable text or graphics on the "banner".

I have never seen a rectangular blimp/airship (again, there were absolutely no rounded corners on this, draw a normal rectangle on a piece of paper and that is the exact shape we saw!), but after excluding jets, prop planes, and helicopters, that is the only manmade flying "thing" that my brain has left for an explanation. Despite that process of elimination, the same brain is also saying "ehh, that wasn't a blimp".

In short, neither my wife or I have an explanation for what we saw, and that is why I went looking on the Internet for others who might have seen it and been curious. It was rush-hour traffic, so there were plenty of eyes pointed in the same direction as ours. As I mentioned initially, the object wasn't exactly screaming for attention (muted in color, low on the horizon, and no lights or fast movement) so I can completely understand it escaping the attention of a high percentage of people who were paying more attention to traffic than I was. But surely someone saw it!

For the record, I am 37 and have worked in the IT field for about 16 years now. Photography is a pretty serious hobby of mine, and I usually go to at least one air show per year to photograph. That certainly doesn't make me a professional witness, but I've got a pretty good concept of what "normal" objects in the sky look like. My wife doesn't share my love of air shows, but she is a tenured engineering professor at a major university, so she has her fair share of brains and logic upstairs.

On the topic of photography, I'm kicking myself because I had my camera with me, but made a very conscious decision that I wouldn't need my 500mm lens on this trip, so I opted to pack lighter and I left it at home. I wouldn't have been able to capture anything of usable detail with the lenses I did have with me (I hate pictures where there's a speck that someone is claiming it is a UFO or a ghost or Big Foot or Elvis!), so I didn't bother getting off of the Interstate and trying to find a safe place to stop because it would have just made us late and frustrated me when I saw that I didn't have anything to show for it.

Anyway, we live happy normal lives and are simply curious about what we saw, not making wild claims and definitely not seeking publicity. If you hear anything more, I would certainly enjoy hearing about it!

Thanks.
