Duration: 2 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Omaha, IL, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

i noticed the craft as it had just passed over Rt 1. i brought my semi to a stop and shut down the engine. the craft was very large, as wide as 300ft and at an altitude of approximately 2-300ft up. as it moved away from my position i could see the shape of the craft as it became visible in the light of the full moon, as it blended with the night sky and had no blinking lights. i had noticed 2 red lights on the leading edge of the craft for without those i would not have seen the craft. it was moving very slowly. i estimate craft speed at 40-50mph. also it did have a very deep sound that i am not able to describe. not a droning sound but a solid quiet roar.as the craft reached a distance from me of about a quarter of a mile it nearly invisible in the night sky, but i could still detect its movement. i restarted my truck and took off. i traveled more than seven miles before i encountered any other traffic. the object left me with an impression it was piloted an! d very old.
