Full Description & Details

When I was a kid playing outside in the snow something caught my eye. As I happened to glance up, I saw a rectangular object only a few hundred feet away at low altitude (note the sun was behind me not glaring in my eyes). It was moving maybe at 40 mph from my left to right. It had a checkerboard pattern on the lower side of the craft which seemed flat not rounded. The colors were red and silver (see drawing) no lights were visible on the object. After a few seconds the craft flew away from me at incredible acceleration. It was a clear calm day with little wind but no sound, smoke or vapour trail was witnessed. The object disappeared over the horizon (a few miles was visible in flat farm country) in much less than one second!! Now I have no idea what this was but soon after I became keenly interested in the subject of UFO's.

The object was approximately 24X40 feet and looked very thin maybe 1-2 feet thick. In my estimate it should have broken the sound barrier but no sound was heard. If it was an optical projection of some sort then someone went to a lot of trouble to impress an audience of one in rural Nova Scotia during winter!

Witness Background
