A Tennessee witness driving west along Highway 70 near Pleasant Hill reported watching "a large, triangular-shaped" object hovering over power lines about 9:59 p.m. on April 27, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network ( MUFON ) witness reporting database.
The witness was returning from a grocery shopping trip in Crossville when the object appeared just above the vehicle.
"I noticed a large triangular type shape with a big lit circle in the middle of it," the witness stated. "The light was several feet across and was illuminated with white light. The object looked dark gray as far as I could tell and the shape was triangular but with curves. I figured it must be a UFO to be just hovering like that over the power lines."
The witness drove directly under the object.
"I could only see the underneath because I was passing under it. I couldn't believe it was hovering over me a bit to the left and over the power lines. I observed the power lines were just a few inches underneath the object. It did appear to be coming closer to me. I also slowed down the vehicle a little so I could keep watching and ducked my head some to continue to see."
The witness described the object.
"I noticed four beams of light that went from one side to the other of the object and pulsed about four times on and off. The lights were about 6 to 8 feet across - larger than the circular light in the middle."
The witness tried to keep the object in view.
"I tried to see if I could see the object in my rear view mirror but it appeared to be gone. I did not observe any sound from the object even though it was only about 20 feet above me. I figured the time of the sighting must have been 9:59 p.m. on April 27, 2013. The sighting must have lasted about 10 seconds."
There were no cars traveling in the same direction of the witness at the time.
"After continuing about one-half mile I did see two different cars coming from the other direction and I flashed my lights at them just to alert them, in case the object was still in the area or if it possibly landed."
No photos or videos were included with MUFON Case 47032. Pleasant Hill is a town in Cumberland County, TN, population 563.
