Pegs my bogosity meter

"The object approached from the south-southwest and while moving north-north east, passed almost directly overhead making no sound whatsoever. I estimate its altitude to be somewhere about 800 feet and its airspeed speed approximately 30 mph. It "floated" and did not fly as it obviously had insufficient airspeed to fly. (I am a Physicist & an FAA Licensed Pilot) While the sky was almost entirely black behind it, I could clearly see its underside as it was illuminated from the fading sunlight to the west. I estimate that the machine was about 60 feet wide and 80 feet long and 10 feet thick at the rear."

Gotta luv it, the physicist and pilot decaimer. The best part is the size estimates from this "expert". How do you estimate the distance and size of an unfamiliar ariel object? Think about it. Unlike objects on the ground next to trees, buildings, etc. there's no comparitive reference to an unknown object flying by.

I'll skip the "sun illuminated underside against BLACK sky" hilarity.
