Full Description & Details

I don't want this published on a web site or anywhere else. I just wanted to know if anyone has seen anything resembling my description. This was probably a weather balloon. However, I saw an extremely large triangular-shaped object cross the sky over Hwy. 82 West out of Clarksville. At first, I thought it was one of those bat-shaped airplanes that was going to crash,but we live in a rural area where we don't see many airplanes and certainly not one as sophisticated as that. The nearest large airport would be Dallas about 150 miles away. Then, as I saw it clearer, I noticed that I could see clear sky through the center parts of the triangle. The three circular tubes making up the triangle sides were extremely large...maybe large enough to stack three cars one on top of the other making up the diameter. In the center, was some sort of circular object, I think like a doughnut. There were metal braces of some kind supporting this center structure. It was about the color of waxed paper, though it was opaque. Also, since the sun was shining on it, I could be mistaken in the color. It kind of tumbled slowly from side to point a couple of times, then went straight until I lost sight of it. I was driving down a small incline when I saw it. I sped up, thinking it was an airplane at first. It seemed to tumble in slow motion.

I have never before seen anything like this. When I have pictured a UFO in my mind, I pictured a saucer shape.

Do you think it was a weather balloon? I hope that was what I saw. I feel foolish contacting your organization about this, especially if it was a weather balloon.

Thank you.
