"This thing just 'floated' across the sky," he stated. "The body was a shiny black, which at times looked like it was blending into the sky."
He describes the object as he and a girlfriend watched it move.
"As we both watched the lights go over our road, the back light of cloud cover began to reveal a solid object from one light to the other. I could see that it was one enormous craft shaped exactly like a boomerang. We both were in awe."
The following is the unedited report filed with MUFON.
Please remember that many UFO reports can be resolved as something natural or manmade. Illinois MUFON Director Sam Maranto is investigating this case and we will report back with his results.
March 6, 2009 - AT LEAST ONE MILE WIDE!!! MINIMUM!!!
On March 6th 2009, My girlfriend and I were watching TV in our bedroom when both our dogs started to bark, I assumed they just had to go out so I put both their leashes on, took two steps out my front door, and heard a huge rumble.
I asked my girlfriend if she heard that, and in a panic she stated "yes, what was that". We both felt the house shake, and thought it was an earthquake, after about 1-2 min. I continued to take the dogs out because they were barking more than before.
As I went back down the front porch I heard, and felt it again.
I looked around outside to see if anybody else was outside. We live out in the country, in a higher end subdivision, so somebody is usually in sight, but nobody else came outside their homes. I continued to walk down the driveway, when I looked up and saw two blinking white lights that were at least 1.5-2.0 miles away from each other, then I heard the noise again, this time it sounded like 2 F-14 flying at 1000ft directly overhead, and for a second I thought that it was 2 Fighter jets in 1 mile formation from each other.
It was very dark and extremely overcast so I had a great background that was lit up cloud cover. I yelled at my girlfriend to come outside quickly. The dogs were going nuts.
As we watched these lights, they were both directly across from one another, and moving very very slow. I knew then it wasn't jets/airplanes/helicopters.
As we both watched the lights go over our road, the back light of cloud cover began to reveal a solid object from one light to the other. I could see that it was one ENORMOUS craft shaped exactly like a boomerang. We both were in awe!!
This thing was HUGE, to big to fly, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was breathtaking.
As we watched it fly, I could faintly hear the sound of several jet engines. This thing just "FLOATED" across the sky. The body was a shiny black, which at times looked like it was blending into the sky.
I ran the dogs back into the house, and to get my video camera. The camera was completely dead, and I was in a panic. I ran back outside, and we both watched as this thing cruised straight North towards Wisconsin.
This experience has changed my thought on our skies. While I have no doubt that this was one of our own creations, probably military, It makes me wonder, How in this world could something that HUGE float so smoothly across the sky? I am unsure why it was flying so low(probably around 5000ft), and why did it make so much noise.
I have a lot of details, and could write about our experience for a long time, but that is the major parts. I know our military has secret aircraft likes this, but if you ask me, they weren't being very secretive. It was amazing to see, and I feel privileged. Sorry about all the spelling errors. Thanks for listening, 'Im curious if anyone else saw this craft that night.

I frequently browse the FAA weather cams for Southeast Alaska. I also like to check out the loops and will look at every picture in the loops just to see what I can see.
The two small objects caught my attention immediately for some reason. After saving the image to my pictures and zooming up on the images, (especially the lower, closer one), I was flabbergasted to realize what I was seeing did not appear to be birds, choppers, planes or anything I usually observe. I thought even though it looked like a disc I would take some pictures of birds to compare. I was lucky to have an eagle circling right in front of the house about 1/8 to 1/4 mile away so I took several shots of it and compared them to the disc objects. There was no similarity at all. The objects flying over the Wrangell Airport are not birds. The lower closer one even appears to be metallic in that on the lower right hand side it appears to be reflecting light. I know you guys can enhance an image way better than me. Even when I zoom way up on the images where they blur out, they retain their disc shape. So please enhance these images and e-mail me the results.
