Appearance / Description of Object(s)

It appeared to be a reflective metallic green triangled shaped craft with no lights. There were four distinct protrusions on the craft...Three bulges but, one less protruding than the other two. It also had a section that appears to be white in color and looked almost like a smile. (C) Morgan Blanchard

Size of Object(s)

Relative size would have been about a quarter of an inch. Actual size would have been about 20 to 30ft across and 15ft tall.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

Estimated distance was about 5,000ft. in the upper western Sky.

Description of Area / Surroundings

I took the photos in the city limits of the small town of Thibodaux, La. No power plants or bases in the area. Although there is a small airport for small planes and helicoptors in the the next town about 15 miles away.

Full Description & Details

On August 9th 2006 prior to taking my nighttime photo I was outside grilling with a rather high flame dousting my grill with lighter fluid. I was also shining my green laser penlight skyward just for the fun of it and noticing how the raindrops would sparkle affected by the laser beam. The photo was taken at 9:40 PM in the same general area above me and towards the western sky. Could it be that the mysterious craft was curious of my 2 ft high barbeque flame or the green laser light beam?

It appeared to be a reflective metallic green tri-angled craft at an elevation of about 5,000 ft. I actually didn't see it until I transferred the photo to my computer. It appeared in the photo to be about 20 to 30ft. across although it was so high up it would be half the size of a pencil eraser head to the naked eye. There were no lights what so ever as if to be hiding from prying eyes. There were four distinct protrusions on the craft...Three bulges but, one less protruding than the other two. It also had a section that appears to be white in color and looked almost like a smile. Also there seemed to be a sort of tri-angled shaped object above it. It also had several small streaks streaming from it...(this could possibly be the effect of the cloud as it flys )...as it was a very stormy and cloudy night. (C) Morgan Blanchard

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

It kinda appears to be a weather balloon but I really don't know for sure. The protrusions on it don't seem normal.

Witness Background

I'm a high school graduate and work as musician in my one man band. I'm also a pipe fitter working in the chemical plants in southern Louisiana.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Although I've never seen a ufo before, I think they are possible in our vast universe.

Other Comments

I have also several photos of orbs or oval objects on film from the same area as the ufo photo.
