“I noticed a gray object gliding by,” the witness stated. “It was about 50 yards above our heads. Both boys noticed it.”

The witness described the object.

“It was in the shape of a V and made no noise. The ‘wings’ were about the length of a couch and had the width of a football. As it went by, it had no lights and we lost sight of it in the dark sky.”

The witness is wondering if they saw a drone.

As the object moved over head at about 150 feet, it also had no lights, but the witness is speculating it may have been a drone. Pictured: Milford, Iowa. (Credit: Google)
