Appearance / Description of Object(s)It seemed as large as a football field and was a metallic oval shape ln front and appeared to have a sort of "tail" coming from the front oval of the same metal.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?It was definitely NOT a star or planet, the moon or clouds. An airplane or satielite could not stay stationary that long. No blimps are that known shape. Balloons do not have flat areas with red green and whiite lights. Witness BackgroundI am a retired elementary teacher (30+ yrs) I have a BS and an MA degree. I was actively teaching at the time of this siting. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI have believed in UFOs and ETs long before this was spotted. I have read a great deal about the subject and my family has also had some unusual ET activity in and around our home. My former husband believes he has been abducted many times since a small boy.My son has claimed to be visited by small beings when he was 5 .( I had never mentioned anything around my children prior to this incident .)
