There was no noise no wind nothing but a large round thing with lights all around it. I&#8217;m not sure how long I was there. All I remember after seeing it was getting back in my car and driving away and then they left after I left. Then it hit me what just happened i was so awestruck. Upon getting home my wife and my son told me that they had seen a massive UFO earlier in the day that blocked out the sun the way they described it.&nbsp; It must have been miles across.&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case File Status: Information Only \/ No Formal Investigation Background The following case was submitted to The Black Vault \/ TBV Investigations.
