The size was about two-to-three feet in diameter and about 500-to-750 feet in altitude at 30 degrees and about 250 yards away from them.The weather was 82 degrees F with a south wind at 8.1 mph and clear.”

The object was seen for about two minutes and was traveling in a north-northeast direction.

  1. My first thought is birds. I’ve seen a formation of birds fly incredibly precise patterns you would never believe had you not seen it with your own eyes. I’m not saying that’s what it is, but I would consider that before moving to the ET hypothesis.

  2. If he had infrared on his camera he would have been able to make it out perfectly. Friend of mine has an infrared binoculars and ya can see them all the time in the sky. It’s scary the shit thats up there!!!

  3. My first thought was “is there a volcano nearby” but then I read about the diameter and changed my thought on the matter. I still believe this is a smoke ring, a very common occurring phenomenon. Look up smoke ring on Wikipedia or Google “volcano smoke ring” and see if this doesn’t provide a very plausible answer to the question. I would think an IR imager would indeed pick up a nice ring due to the heat encapsulated in such a ring.
