A North Carolina witness at Wake Forest is considering he may have simply shot video of a drone, but was unable to positively identify the object captured last spring, according to testimony in Case 82061 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness shot video from his cell phone from the front of his home on a bright, sunny afternoon, about 4:30 p.m. on April 2, 2016.

“I’m near a lake and river, so I'm used to seeing large birds, like herons,” the witness stated. “Unless the distance was greater than I thought, I don't think this was a bird.”

The term "DRONE" is a default identifier. When a person does not know what he/she saw, it is a "DRONE"

I did not report my first UFO because it was not identifiable. This witness should not have made a report.

I'm at a lose here as to the above comment. "This witness should NOT have made a report." (?) Why not? Most cases turn out to be natural or man-made to begin with. Not much difference here, I think. Even if it is a 'drone' per-say, we would not be able to get to the truth without weeding out the chaff first. What if it's not a drone? What if??? Am I missing something here? Open minds, people-please.

Okay, Duane, I will give it a shot.

First of all, did you see my statement, "I did not report my first UFO because it was not identifiable." When I saw what I believe was the same machine six-months later, I did report it in very significant detail.

Second, the witness is the expert who was there, not the Field Investigator. All the FI can honestly do is vet the witness. If the witness did not know what he saw, then the FI certainly would not know what he saw.

Third, there is enough good information about UFOs that we do not need to be continually "proving" them. If a witness does not know that he saw a non-human craft, he should wait until the next time and not junk-up the sighting reports.

Fourth, if a witness CLEARLY observes an object that is performing at a level above human technology, it is a non-human machine and NOT "natural or man-made to begin with."

Interesting.. I'm coastal NC and spotted something similar last year on a clear day. It was a white cylinder shaped object without wings. It was flying fairly slow then we lost site of it. Perhaps a drone? If I happen to have a camera and see it again I grab a pic.
