A Round Rock resident takes daytime photos of a rectangular object flying through the air.
Here is that unedited report as it was submitted to MUFON.
[Note: Is this a craft of some type, or is it something caught in the wind? -SW]

MUFON Case # 31500
Date: 2011-09-03
Time: 18:30
Status: Assigned
City: Round Rock
State: Texas
Shape: Square/Rectagular
Duration: 00:07:00
Distance: Over one mile
Summary: Dark Grey Rectangle moving right to left slowly then moving away.
Report:
I normally do not pay much attention to UFO sightings or even read about them. This may sound strange, but the prior day I was watching on the internet an experience that someone had with a UFO. I normally don't believe these stories, but this was coming from a prominent Christian, telling about an expereince he had more than 40 years ago. Today, I decided to buy a new book to read and purchased the book "Majestic", for no particular reason until I began to read what it was about, a story about the Rosewell incident. I then came home and had this feeling to look out my window in my apartment, but saw nothing. 10 minutes later I had this feeling again to look out my window and I saw a rectangle shaped object that seemed as large as an 18 wheeler or bigger hovering at least a 1000 feet moving from right to left slowly for about 5 minutes, and then it began to move away at a faster pace until it disappeared in the horizon after about 2 minutes. I took pictures because it seemed very odd that something shaped like a rectangle was flying with nothing else near it.

Very interesting! I've heard of spheres, rods, saucers, triangular craft, but never rectangular vehicles. It could be something caught in the wind considering Texas is getting some wind from Tropical Storm Lee, however, if it was as large as the observer stated and hovering or moving slowly, I would assume it's something else. Thanks for sharing this!
Editor's Reply: Other objects such as this have been reported, especially in the past few years.
I have seen a number of large objects whirled through the air but I've never seen any inanimate object (large debris), that was able to be stable enough to move very slowly, or hover and then accelerate, as the witness claims. -SW

It's a banner being pulled by a small plane. The photographer caught it while the plane was making a turn and got obscured by the banner.
Editor's Reply: I would think that the observer would have seen, or at least heard an airplane. Maybe it was a banner being pulled by a UFO. That makes just about as much sense but I do appreciate your attempt at debunking.
The banner appears blank. Perhaps you could purchase advertisement? -SW

ReplyDeleteI have seen exactly the same thing (yesterday 3/16/12 @ 5:20 pm, on my drive home from work), which is the only reason I found this site, I "Googled" for any other possible sightings in the area. I took 3 pictures with my 8 MP phone, pending the high Res. post. In short, I'm not a UFO watcher of any kind, just saw something strange and shot it with my phone cam. When I first noticed it, it looked to be over deep NW Austin & moving North. When I shot it, it looked to be well in, or past Georgetown. It was rectangular, silent, looked metallic and almost translucent, it was exactly like the 9/6/11 picture in every way. It looked rigid, unaccompanied, did not change shape, and traveled on a straight horizontal path. I watched it move across the sky for about 7 min., then left after taking the pictures (3, time stamped, which all have a telephone pole in the back ground showing the direction of travel).
ReplyDeleteI saw an identical object about 15 years ago in Stafford,Va. which is near Quantico Marine Base. It was a clear, sunny day, no clouds. I just happened to look up as I was driving behind the plaza where I worked as I noticed 2 military helicopters hovering over the intersection of #610 and Onville Rd. Above them was the object it was higher than the choppers but it appeared to be huge. It hovered there for a few minutes and then rose and disappeared. I have never seen anything like it before or since that day.
ReplyDeleteI saw one about 2008, and when I looked it up on the internet, not much about rectangular UFOs. I was sitting outside and looked up, and it was WAY up there in the sky, a big black rectangle object floating VERY slowly blocking out stars. I believe it was way up there and huge, because of how it was traveling and so slow.....anyway, I was watching it. A man came out to smoke a cigarette, and I said, "Do you see that?" pointing upward. He didn't say anything, just looked. I was like, what is it? He then said, "It's a helicopter." Now either he was in complete denial, or that's what he saw, but I belive it was denial because I said, "No, it's not!" and he was uncomfortable and went inside. I just sat outside and watched it go across the night sky, it was so slow and so high, after a while I just went in. Very weird.
ReplyDeleteNow I see a lot of these rectangular sightings happen quire a bit.
peace
