UFO Sighting - Roanoke, VA, 1997

Today we have a UFO sighting sent to us by a fan named Jerry. We don’t get a lot of UFO sighting stories, so I was excited about getting this.I witnessed a UFO on Orange Ave along with several other people in 1997. I was working across from the E.J. Thomas market at what used to be Eagle Rentco. What I saw was a disk object shaped and moving slowly under the cloud layer. It was metallic like hot brushed brass. Had a halo around it and in a trail behind it like heat distortion off a hot car roof. Moved with a skipping or staggered motion. Not in a straight line like an airplane. About 3 to 4 thousand altitude. Looked roughly 100ft in diameter. Speed was about the same as a small private plane. Moved from west to east. No detailed features, only smooth metallic. I watched it move for about 2-3 minutes then it vanished after going behind a small cloud. Thank you Jerry for sending this in and allowing us to share your story. Remember if you’ve had a paranormal encounter like this and want to send it in you can email us at [email protected]. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
