Full Description & Details

About 10 of us on a caving trip were standing outside of Grahms Motel on Rt. 219 near Buckeye, WV when suddenly we saw an object about 2000 feet away (based on topo maps). The object flew slowly and silently along the ridge for about 25 seconds then appeared to turn and dissappeared on the other side of the ridge not to be seen again. The object was about 6 degrees in size based on putting my fist at arms length over the object. That is about the diameter of 12 full moons. At that distance I estimated the object to be about 200-250 feet across. It had blue and red lights on the ends which were not blinking. There was no landing lights. There appeared to be a row of windows, maybe 15 to 20 with very bright white light coming from all of the windows. The object made no sound and toward the end one end appeared to lift up sightly and tilt as it began to turn and dissappear over the ridge. The weather was clear and cool with temperatures in the 40 degree range. There were no other object or aircraft seen that night since the nearest airport is 60-70 miles away at Lewisburg, Wv.
