I was flying my Citabria airplane at 3500 ft. ASL. The dull silver saucer shaped UFO was first sited over Christian Island as I was banking my aircraft to the right on a level turn. I opened my left side window to watch as the <b>UFO passed approximately 500 ft. underneath my plane.<\/b> I then banked the plane to the left so that I would not lose sight of it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">The UFO continued on a straight and level path, and although I was going 110 m.p,h. the UFO&#8217;s speed was such that there was no way I could catch up to it. If I had to approximate it&#8217;s speed, I would guess at 400-600 m.p.h. As for the size of the UFO, I can&#8217;t really say, since there was nothing that I could compare it to. If I had to guess, I would say about 30 to 50 feet in diameter. It happened so quickly, but I did get a very good look at it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">There were no windows or any markings on the UFO. The color was a dull silver, almost a grey color. I usually always carry a camera in my side pouch, but this time, it was in a bag behind the rear passenger seat. If I had a passenger with me at that time, I would have been able to get a very good picture with my 35mm camera! <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Now when I go flying, I always make sure that I have at least two cameras with me at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><b>Addition Information About Airplane Pilot Was Flying:<\/b> The aircraft was manufactured by Champion Aircraft CO. in the USA.\u00a0 The model is a Citabria 7ECA.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"><b>Investigator&#8217;s Notes: <\/b>This is an example of a credible witness reporting an incredible sighting.\u00a0 The witness did not report this sighting previously because he was afraid of ridicule.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">He got a good look at the craft as it approached close to his aircraft.\u00a0 The sighting occurred near the middle of a bright sunny day.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana;\">Not much more to say: <b>Unidentified!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following was reported by UFOs NorthWest.
