Silver, football-field sized boomerang-shaped UFO over Fort Stockton, Texas
1972 - Fort Stockton, Texas, United States
"There was an Elementary School just a few yards from the corner of Main and Colpits and right up above the school was a Silver object about the size of a Football Field. It hovered about 50 feet above the school and it was shaped like a boomerang. From my position I figured that it was about 10 to 15 feet thick. But the strangest thing about the incident was, how the people in Ft. Stockton reacted to it." View full report

It looked like a mirror and it was shining, and it did not move...
