The following was submitted to MUFON (and special thanks to UFO Casebook for editing):

I was walking my dog and was walking easy. She started acting very scared and tried to run for home. I looked around to see if something spooked her.

I looked up and saw this object drop out of the sky and stopped dead, it didn’t slow down. It just stopped and hovered about 500 feet away from me, and about 700 feet from me, and hovering about 3 buildings from my home.

I didn’t hear anything, smell anything, I did however feel a buzz-like sensation. I honestly thought something was going to happen to me, my adrenaline was pumping hard and it took everything in me not to run and stand as still as possible.

This is not me, I am a very curious person and want to figure out any mystery that I come across. It has served me well many of times, but has also been a disservice at times. I thought I was going to get abducted, hurt or God forbid; killed.

After a few (seemingly) seconds I remembered I had my phone on me and went to grab it. However, I noticed the phone (Moto G) was very, very slow (also not typical, I pride myself on keeping my computers and such in optimal running condition), after a few seconds I got the camera app running and snapped a few pictures; after the 4th or 5th, the phone shut off and over heated.

The vessel then out of nowhere, shot west towards the Gulf of Mexico. I didn’t see it after then. The dog calmed down and looked at me like if she was saying (can we go the hell home now?), and we run home.

I get home and my wife asks me where have I been. She says I was gone for almost a half an hour. I don’t think I was abducted, I think I got so lost in the moment that I lost track of time.

I tried to get my phone back on, but she wouldn’t boot. I opened the back up and the battery was hot as hell. The battery shorted out. (No I don’t have it, lithium ion batteries can burn skin if they rupture). I got a new battery and it booted up and saw the pictures.

I showed my wife and son and they both believe it was a unmanned drone. I don’t believe it is a drone. I am a huge fan of aircraft and know every make, model, shape and size of all human made craft. This was not in any category of craft that I know of.

And on top of that, all human craft make noise because of the motors.

You know why the internet is awesome? Because you can share the experience of someone discovering a mysterious treasure. Reddit user TramStopDan documented and shared his recent experience of unlocking and discovering the contents of a box which his friend found discarded on the street next to the trash. When he managed to open it, Dan found a mind-boggling collection of posters, illustrations, text, maps, technical drawings and personal belongings.

Speculating on the original owner of the case, Dan writes: “Clearly something happened to this guy that was very memorable. It measures roughly 29″ by 38″ and almost all the drawings are very large… It appears that he was making a diorama/tabletop display. (Why? I have no idea). There are numbered parts and instructions/explanations.”

So let’s take a peek at what he found… check out the photo montage above.

One Reddit commenter had this theory to add:

Apparently the guy went slightly insane over finding extraterrestrials in the bible. He was obsessed with “living creatures” described in Ezekiel 10 that are described as having four faces: “the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.” I guess he really wanted for that to be an alien encounter.

Also found in the briefcase was this technical drawing that looks like a patent application, quite large and very detailed. Dan looked but could not find any registered patent of this design.

So there’s your daily dose of “what the heck am I looking at?!”

It’s amazing, as well as pretty sad however, to see what people will just throw away. Maybe the author of the box’s contents isn’t around anymore, but his secret world is now forever preserved. And that’s why the internet is so great.
