A Vermont family at St. Albans watched and videotaped a disc-shaped object for about one minute before it quickly disappeared, according to testimony from Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Case 47246 recently closed as an Unknown.
The May 6, 2013, sighting included witness testimony and a short video.
"I was sitting in my yard at approximately 10 p.m. with my family enjoying the beautiful weather when a large, lighted object caught my eye," the reporting witness stated. "I was facing west and this thing was coming from the south heading north. My son, daughter, neighbor and husband saw it and we were able to take pictures and video. The object was so slow and low and made no noise and lasted long enough that we all had enough time to get our phones on it."
The witness believes that the object was intelligently controlled.
"It definitely moved in a very controlled manner. It was in our view for approximately one minute. It seemed to be slowly ascending and then sped up and then it was gone as if it was never there."
