| Description | It flew slowly in the sky and I spotted it. I was sitting outside with my cousins, there were 6 of us in the backyard. Once I pointed it out, everyone else saw it, and the UFO stopped for a second. That’s when I took a photo of it. It could be a drone, not sure, but I got a creepy feeling it was watching us. |
