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.

It’s interesting for sure. There are more UFO sightings in Mitchell County NC than anywhere else in the state. Appalachian State University confirmed UFOs last week in a video. Spruce Pine NC is hosting its first ever Alien Conference talk about the 3 UFO crashes and how the pure quartz mountains relate. The Ancient Aliens TV show speakers will be there speaking.

Yes, I believe Mitchell County was where the first one, a classic huge saucer of white light came down over my road and I had to drive under it! Just east of Old Fort on I-40. The second one, I saw a few months later, the classic silver cigar shape from a far distance coming out from between two mountain sides on the front range just north of Hendersonville and probably still in Buncombe County. I was just east of Hendersonville driving east to Shelby that day on - I think its 26? It came out from between the hills, but only part way, and pulled back in. As on the former occasion, I know the area well and the topography morphed and changed very much both times. I had missing time with the second encounter, but not the first, which was RIGHT over my head! not thirty feet above me. Beautiful too!

Regarding my report of two sightings above. The first was right over I-40 in Marion County between Old Fort and Marion, a drive I took frequently when visitng my mother in Black Mountain. The topography and the highway I drove that night do not exist. By the clock I had no missing time, but I can't explain the morphing of the surrounding topography and the shape of the highway. The second sighting was in Henderson Country on 26, just east of Hendersonville where the highway dips down into a steep valley and then goes up over the pass. I saw the silver cigar shape saucer to my left and north, coming out between the two mountains and then pulling back. There is no view of two mountains from that location, nor does any of the rest of the road I drove that day from there to Saluda exist. Both sightings were in 2016. The first just at sundown on a full moon winter's night and the second just after noon in the middle of a sunny day. I know both areas very well and have driven them many times before and since. But the topography I saw during the sightings and what actually is there now are completely different. Go figure!
