That's how Navy pilot Chad Underwood described the thing he saw hurdling through the sky on November 10, 2004. Underwood recorded the object using an infrared camera after his commanding officer, David Fravor, spotted the unusual shape during a flight-training exercise.
For 15 years, Underwood remained largely silent about the encounter. But in an interview with New York Magazine this week, he revealed what it was like to capture the UFO on video.

A floating object making some Butler County residents question their sanity Tuesday night might be by definition an "unidentified flying object," but it's far from extraterrestrial.
Butler County dispatch confirmed the "UFO" spotted floating above Oxford, Dartown and McGonigal is actually a balloon from a company called Loon, which works with mobile networks to expand LTE coverage in places that don't have much access to it.
A Radar Blip, a Flash of Light: How U.F.O.s 'Exploded' Into Public View - The New York Times
In the early morning of July 20, 1952, Capt. S.C. "Casey" Pierman was ready for takeoff at Washington National Airport, when a bright light skimmed the horizon and disappeared. He did not think much of it until he was airborne, bound for Detroit, and an air traffic controller told him two or three unidentified flying objects were spotted on radar traveling at high speed.
Captain Pierman's 68-year-old daughter, Faith McClory, said in an interview last month that her father became something of a celebrity as reports like his in the summer of 1952 fueled fear of a space alien invasion.

Are extraterrestrials extra patriotic? - Daily chart
IN THE FINAL scene of "Independence Day", a blockbuster film from 1996, Captain Steve Hiller (Will Smith), having saved the world from alien annihilation, watches as exploding debris from a UFO mothership lights up the sky, just in time for the American holiday. Turning to his stepson, he says with a smile, "Didn't I promise you fireworks?" For Americans, such pyrotechnic displays are an important Fourth of July tradition. Can the same be said for UFOs?
Why we should take UFO sightings seriously | Cosmos
Are we alone? Unfortunately, neither of the answers feel satisfactory. To be alone in this vast universe is a lonely prospect. On the other hand, if we are not alone and there is someone or something more powerful out there, that too is terrifying.
As a NASA research scientist and now a professor of physics, I attended the 2002 NASA Contact Conference , which focused on serious speculation about extraterrestrials. During the meeting a concerned participant said loudly in a sinister tone, "You have absolutely no idea what is out there!" The silence was palpable as the truth of this statement sunk in. Humans are fearful of extraterrestrials visiting Earth . Perhaps fortunately, the distances between the stars are prohibitively vast.
The UFO Sightings That Launched 'Men in Black' Mythology - HISTORY
It's possible that the story of the Men in Black, the mysterious figures that would become the subject of fascination in UFO conspiracy circles and eventually break into mainstream popular culture, can be traced back to one day: June 27, 1947. It's quite possible that it all started with a man, a boy and a dog on a boat.
As the story goes, Harold Dahl was on a conservation mission on the Puget Sound near the eastern shore of Washington’s Maury Island, gathering logs, when he saw six donut-shaped obstacles hovering about a half a mile above his boat. Before long, one of them fell nearly 1,500 feet, followed by raining, metallic debris, some of which hit Dahl’s son, Charles, on his arm, as well as the family dog, who didn’t survive the ordeal.
