A Kentucky witness near Rush reported watching a fast moving object with three distinct colors that flashed as it moved overhead about 8:15 p.m. on April 15, 2013, and quickly disappeared, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network ( MUFON ) witness reporting database.
The witness was outside talking to a friend when he looked to the southeast and noticed the approaching object.
"This object looked to be about 1,500 to 3,000 feet up, and was much lower than any of the jets passing through at the time," the reporting witness stated. "It looked like it should pass directly over our heads. There was no sound from this object and it looked like it could be the size of a small automobile."
The witness described the object.
"Kind of oval in shape, it had three major colors which flashed extremely fast and bright. The front color was red, the middle was the white color and was extremely bright. The back of the object flashed an orange-ish red. The flashing was as best as I can describe being like fireworks. The flashing lights were so bright that it would hide the object as if the light rays were being projected outward away from the craft."
The object quickly disappeared.
"As the object started to pass overhead it just disappeared before my eyes."
No photos or videos were included with MUFON Case 46802. The witness did include one illustration of what the object looked like. Rush is an unincorporated community in Boyd and Carter counties, KY, population 2,755. Please note: The witness report states that the incident occurred on April 16, but the report was filed before the time of day on that date indicated - so we are assuming that date was inputted by mistake and it may have occurred the day before - on April 15. The date will be updated if necessary.
