If you’re riding along one of the main arteries through Catawba County, you just might get to catch a glimpse of your friendly extraterrestrial from a neighboring planet.
The western part of the state has been a hotbed of activity for Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) recently, if you believe reports submitted to examiner.com. The website reported there was a sighting on Sunday and one on Monday in the area.
But local officials say they haven’t received any reports of anything unusual flying in the sky.
The names of those reporting the sightings are not given, either in the reports or in the story that appeared on the website.
The report on the Sunday incident said the witness was driving along Interstate 40 about 5 miles east of Statesville when they saw two jets flying in a clear, blue sky leaving condensation trails behind. The report goes on to say that a large condensation trail came down between the other two trails and then “a large shaped disk, very bright glowing and reflective” showed up. The disk, which was described as a color of white to metal, stuck around for six or eight seconds and then “retracted” back up into the sky and took the condensation trail with it.
“Approximately 30 minutes prior we witnessed two small objects in front of our vehicle flying on both sides in apporimately (sic) same level of skyline and same discription (sic) of the larger disk object, but they were much smaller,” the report said.
