Cigar UFO reported hovering over
Florida golf course
A Florida witness at West Palm
Beach reported watching a silent, low flying, cigar-shaped UFO that hovered in
place before just disappearing, according to testimony in Case 65944 from the
Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)
witness reporting database.
The witness was outside walking her
dog at Okeeheelee Park about 11:49 a.m. on May 29, 2015, when the object was
first noticed.

“It was a very quiet morning,” the
witness stated. “The sky was so beautiful because of all the different kinds of
clouds and the weather was warm and breezy out of the east. I happened to look
up towards the sky at 11:49 a.m. and saw this huge object over Okeeheelee Golf Course
that is just to the east of where I was walking in the park.”
The witness tried to identify what
the object was.
“I was thinking this is a huge
strange kite? Blimp? I have seen many different types of planes, helicopters,
blimps, drones, kites, etc. to know it was not anything like that. PBI and some
heliports are not far from Okeeheelee Park, so you see aircraft every day.”
The witness described the object.
“The object was cigar-like in
shape, but it had like a dome/bump on the top half of it. Also, it looked like
a row of windows on the side. What was really interesting is that it did not
move or make any type of sound. I was about 500 feet away; and for its size you
would think you would hear sounds like aircraft make.”

The witness watched the object
surrounded by clouds.
“I mentioned before about all the
beautiful different types of clouds. Well it was like this object was
reflecting off of clouds to make it almost camouflage-like if that makes any
sense. The object was not in a cloud but many clouds were around it. So some
shine to it, but also the dull gray of certain cloud colors.”
The witness is familiar with having
to study shapes.
“I have experience using x-ray
equipment at airport security so I’m very familiar with picking out shapes and
objects.”
The witness continued on her dog
walk, but was keeping an eye on the unusual object.
“I continued walking east towards
the object with my dog and did not take my eyes off of it until we got to the
point in the path where we turn left/north to head towards the parking lot and
– proof – it disappeared.”
The witnesses’ dog seemed to be
affected by the object.
“Also at this time my dog became
very wary, upset, with his tail clamped down, curled up under him, and he
starts pulling hard to the north. He wanted out of there bad! My dog does not
behave like that normally. He loves the park. Something was upsetting him.
There were no other people/dogs around or golfers on that part of the course.
Ironically on the 28 of May I brought my camera to the park to take photos of
the Poinciana trees in bloom…ugh. But I tried my best to capture the UFO in a
sketch I did when I got home.”

The witness attached one sketch and one area map with the MUFON report, which was filed on May 29, 2015. MUFON has closed the case as an Unknown.
West Palm Beach is
a city in and the county seat of Palm Beach
County, Florida, population 99,919. Please remember that most UFO sighting
can be explained as something natural or man-made. The above quotes were
