The witness was walking to his mini van parked on his driveway to pick up his girlfriend from workwhen he saw three “incredibly bright lights” moving toward him.

“The lights were moving parallel to Highway 31 from the north towards the south,” the witness stated.“The object was moving so slow and the lights were so bright it made me stop instantly in my tracks.”

The witness could not see the body of the craft, but could tell it was large and quickly became curious how it was moving so slow without falling.

“The three bright lights/object were heading behind the roof tops of the homes to my left so I went and got into the van, pointing north, waiting for it to reappear on my side of roof tops. Well, that took a tiny bit longer than expected. It either slowed down more or stopped for a brief second, but finally crossed over the roof tops back into view. Once the object was in my sight again I could start to see the bottom of the object and it started making a banked turn.”

The witness said that looking at the bottom of the craft was a complete surprise.

“It was totally lit up with multiple large, bright lights, and I could see a perfect triangular outline of the object.”

The witness described the lights.

“Funny thing is while coming at me I saw no outline at all. Color of the large lights was incredibly bright white and the smaller ones were incredibly bright red.”

The object was moving west, slightly southwest, at the same slow pace as it was originally while the witness got a good look at it.

“Looking at it from behind it had a rectangular shape. To guess, I would go with around 15-20 feet thick. There were two lit up areas in red that were rectangular in shape to the right and left of the center rear end of object.”

The craft continued moving to the west towards his girlfriend’s work area.

“I jumped in the van and followed it towards her job until it went out of sight beyond the skyline. Someone else had to see this thing fly over our town.”

The witness believes the slow moving object had to have been seen by more witnesses. Columbia is about 45 miles southwest of Nashville. (Credit: Google)

  1. Reports without video or photos are not really headlines. Given the lack of observational experience of most witnesses it’s not much to consider. Actual evidence would be great for headlines.

  2. So…when did this happen?

    The article has all kinds of nifty details except for the date and time.

  3. Picture-Heads really make some DUMB remarks. Refer to the above comments by “bernie.” He would have us ignore all reports that are without videos or photos. This would disqualify the classic 1947 sighting by Kenneth Arnold, and the Travis Walton UFO — neither of which were photographed.

    Picture-Heads are web surfers looking for free entertainment. They fall in the same category as debunkers.

  4. I seen same thing that’s…..white and red light India today
    triangle in form those lights…….

  5. I saw this craft slowly fly over my house just like this guy i wondered how it stayed up in the air no wings no engines just 3 big red and white capsules joined together…you may think i making this up because i dont have a video or a photo but i do have a memory. I was awestruck by the sight of this thing i think it would explain a lot of these triangle sightings….i have no idea what it is whos it is or how it works or what its for or why….i just no that i studied the craft so i could draw it later as its very simple…..i cant upload my sketch here so……
