A California witness at Guerneville reported watching a rectangle-shaped object the “size of a Greyhound bus,” according to testimony in Case 86712 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness and her husband were driving along a country road returning home from grocery shopping at 5:02 p.m. on September 15, 2017.

“I suddenly saw this object to the right in the sky about a half-mile to the north and above a hill,” the witness stated. “I said, ‘Stop, Slow down,’ so we could see this object. We slowed, and two cars came up behind us close so we had to continue, since road narrowed and no place to turn around. The object just sat there. but when I looked away it was gone. Happened quickly.”

The witness wondered what the object was.

“It was not a plane (no wings, or tail or wheels or noise.) Definitely not a kite. It looked solid. I've never seen a weather balloon that shape. I thought it must be a UFO since nothing I could think of matched. No motion either but one weird thing. As I said it was kind of Greyhound bus-shaped, except the ends were fuzzy, fading as I looked. I was not scared, just curious, and my feeling was, oh no, not again, as I had seen another much larger object five months ago. As we slowly drove on I kept waiting for it to reappear, but it did not. Kept my eyes on the sky looking back towards the place we had seen it. My husband did not see this but kept helping me guess what it could be.”

California MUFON Field Investigator Hady Felfly closed this case as an Unknown – Other.

Two summers ago here in West MI, my husband and I saw an object that sounds like this on our way to church. Clear sunny day, no clouds. Husband commented that he thought a plane might be coming down and we watched it for it's brief appearance - this was about half a mile away from a very small local airport - he maintains that it was a plain rectangle and I thought I saw tapered edges on top but I'm the one who wears glasses for nearsightedness, not him. It had vapor trails around it (? what we assumed were vapor trails at least) but no visible wings, engines, nothing, just an extremely shiny rectangle that appeared to have vapor all around it. We couldn't stop because there was a vehicle right behind us and he had to look away to turn and the entire thing flattened out and vanished as I watched it. I've never seen anything like it and spent the rest of the drive craning my neck to try to explain where it might have gone but the entire thing just flattened out like a straight line and vanished. There were other planes in the sky that looked absolutely nothing like it and were not reflecting brilliantly. I have brought it up to a couple people and have been told it might have been experimental military aircraft (there is a base of some sort, reserves I think, about an hour from us and we do see big black helicopters and occasional jets in formation for practice, as we live just over a dune from Lake MI), might have been gases evaporating into the atmosphere (I've never seen gases with clear sharp edges), or a reflection on our windshield. There was also zero noise, like one would expect with a large aircraft or with a sonic boom.

So your UFO, from the bottom, looking up, was a sharp retangle; you saw the full side view--and noted the TOP edges of the object were tapered. I'm guessing the "vapor trail" you saw around the object, may be some form of cloaking energy IF "otherworldly" or gas / heat exhaust energy.....which is more earthly and likely x-craft military experimental stuff. Remember: many of the seen experimental test flights of the B2 stealth bomber were written off as UFO sightings.

Everybody has cell phone with camera.
Why most reports have no photo or video ?

This has obviously not happened to you....because when it does you will see that a phone is not the first thing that comes to mind when you are witnessing something other worldly. Because of my own personal experiences, I am more prone to believe reports without a picture just as much...if not more than those with a pic.

It usually happens so fast that you just want to look at the UFO. In my case it was at night so a picture from Iphone would have not shown what I was seening.

IF you have ANY opportunity to photograph a UFO, keep these hints in mind: 1) Be calm while trying to frame up your photo subject. 2) STEADY YOUR CAMERA: if next to a stationary object or building wall / corner--use that to keep camera STILL. 3) Moving object speed AND available at the moment environmental lighting are two of the most challenging aspects of on the fly photography; If you ZOOM IN, keep that camera DEAD STEADY STILL.

I tend to believe most all UFO sightings are those moments, when their visibility cloaking is off or fails. Albeit they probably whiz zip our skies far more than we SEE....we're simply not ready for when they DO appear to us.

I witnessed a Rectangle shape larger than Greyhound bus shaped flying object, in daylight hours,late afternoon. It was located at Arrow Highway /Geneva st, Claremont,Ca in i think 1973
It was pointed N/E hovering 200' or so feet above ground, with about a 1" black cable dropped into the old concrete reservoir, located down the alley on private property, above the culdesac above wheeler park. And vista delivered Valle school.
It turned to face due west with two headlights at the nose as it moved across directly above us my best freind Mike Perry and I as it moved it hummed and vibrated but reeled the cable up and at the end of the cable was a bright red glow light. That swayedslightly as it was drawn up and into the bottom of the craft.
It moved west and Mike and I ran into the house, so we did not watch it after it passed overhead, slightly to our south.
