SIGHTING: SALINA, KS

Witness Testimony

"Fast, Silent, Low Flying, traveling over the center of town!!I was in my backyard looking at the sky when an object moving at incredible speed caught my eye. It was traveling north as fast as a shooting star. The speed is the only thing that the object shared in common with a shooting star.What I saw was a dark object in the shape of a cigar but more like a long egg. There was no light on the craft it was only noticeable due to the light in the atmosphere caused by the city lights. It traveled silently in a straight line toward the north; this was noticeably in a direct northern path.When I caught sight it appeared to be between 300 and 500 feet in the air, it was only about 2 blocks to the west of my position. I was facing the west.There was no sound. What I think was most amazing is it had no lights whatsoever.I am a avid night sky watcher and have observed countless shooting stars, and all types of night flying creatures. This was the first UFO that I have witnessed that I could not contribute to an explainable cause."
