Delaware witness says UFO was eight miles long

The witness was outside with a dog on March 10, 2017, when the incident occurred.

“I looked up in the sky as usual and saw four lights in the shape of a diamond,” the witness stated.“The way the lights were positioned it looked like a plane – one light in the front, one on each side and one in the back.”

But the witness was sure this was not a plane due to how low the object was and how large it was.

“A plane that low would make sound, but this made no noise and it hovered for a moment before flying. But what struck me was its size.”

The object was described as being 8 miles long and near Dover AFB. (Credit: Google)

The witness lives near a military base.

“We live next to Dover AFB and see C5 airplanes all the time and this was not that. Plus, I come from a family of airplane enthusiasts. I’d say from its altitude, it was about eight miles in total length and width. There is no plane that big and it was completely quiet. I stared at it for about one minute and then it disappeared into the clouds. I know what I saw and I know for an absolute fact this was not an airplane. MUFON or someone needs to send an investigator to Delaware. This is my third report within four months. Plus, lots of other people’s reports. Something is happening in Delaware.”

  1. I know how frustrating it is, on March 23 (5:30ishPM), I saw a Large UFO pattern cut into two separate clouds that were a good distance apart and a good distance away. The angles were facing each other, it looked like a biscuit with sharp angles in each cloud the center third was missing(blue sky). I watched the clouds for a good 5 min. and the clouds kept their shape, if the craft was invisible it would explain why. It had to be 15 hundred feet or more in width. I was pressed for time and couldn’t watch longer and haven’t been able to find any reports. I’m in FtWorth Tx. Haltom City. I remember saying “GOOD GOD” to myself 🙂

  2. approx. 1983/84 – sighting of massive UFO over Hockessin – was supposed to have been reported to News Journal by DAFB. Anyone remember?

  3. The UFO was eight miles long. Really? Gee, that seems kind of short. How does he know? Did he use a measuring rod?
