| Description | In 1966, while driving on a two-lane road in Arden, North Carolina, the witness saw a hovering oval/oblong metallic object about 200 feet long at treetop level. The witness pulled into a side road to view it better, but the object disappeared. There was no sound, and the sighting lasted about 10 seconds. The sighting occurred near the Asheville airport. |

| Witness Assessment | About two years earlier, the witness’s brother saw a cigar-shaped object over his house, about 10 miles from where the witness saw the object. He called the airport as he is a pilot and asked if there were any sightings on the radar, and they said no. |
| Additional Info | It really feels good to tell about what I saw to somebody. Thank you. |
