Metallic cigar UFO spotted over Orange, California
A California witness traveling south on Tustin Avenue in Orange reports watching a metallic, cigar-shaped object moving at a constant speed for 15 seconds before it disappeared on August 16, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
"Noticed the object in the sky while I was at a stop light off of Tustin Avenue because it has a shining or has glittering metallic look to it," the witness stated. "Seemed a bit odd since it look like a stick or cigar shape object that was moving at a constant speed but quite fast considering how far away it was. It left no smoke trail and doesn't appear to have any wings. The object looks out of place. I usually see airplanes flying across the sky in this area since we're near John Wayne Airport, so I can tell this object looks different."
The object appeared to move at a constant speed.
"Object appears to be moving at a constant speed traveling in a straight line. It appears to have a shiny metallic look, but I can tell the shape looks like a cigar."
The object disappeared after about 15 seconds.
"I kept staring at it just because it looked out of place. Object then vanished after about 15 seconds."
