Default What was THAT??

It happened about 30 minutes ago. I was sitting outside drinking a cup of coffee and smoked a cigarette. I was looking at the roses, when a bright light hit my left eye. It caught my attention I looked up and my first thought was, what is THAT

I'll try to describe it: If you could imagine a Porsche 911 hanging in the air vertical, that's what it looked like and it was in black or had some dark colour

I had my eyes on it, as it slowly moved from the left to the right in the sky. I can't say how far away it was, maybe
1-2000 meter
During it's transfer from left to right it, turn from hanging in a vertical position to a horizontal position and it had two very bright light. Those lights was either off both or on both and a few times, one of them was on and the other was off.

My second thought was: Is it a drone? NO! not that I have seen a drone in my real life, only on TV. It just didn't looked and act as a drone.


Here's my conclusion
It was a UFO, but it's a man made UFO...Sorry but my brain can't believe in an alien ufo.

Of course it's a UFO. Any flying object that isn't identified is automatically a UFO.

I'm not an expert on UFOs. I Know what a plane looks like and sound like and at that distance you would hear the engine if it was an ordinary plane of some kind.

I even thought it could be a balloon, but no it was "floating" quietly from left to the right, at same height. Why didn't thinking off using my cell phone

My coffee was ordinary coffee and my cigarettes was bought with no LSD or something like that in them.

I had a brain confusion, cause I do NOT believe in alien in combination with UFOs

As i wrote before it must be man-made. however those lights was VERY bright

But then I'm not an expert on incandescent light bulb a.s.o. so maybe they had some kind of LED lights on this man-made object

Edit: Have just read a thread from Vendor
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...79#post2050879

Could it be that this object was some kind of solar powered plane of some sort. Those two lights I saw now and then, could those have been the solar panel(I had the sun behind me)

I don't drink and the only medicine I take is for my blood pressure

So I was quite awake, when I saw that object.

From your description I would say it was the Tardis that appeared from another time!

I have no idea what that could have been.

Therefore, it was Slender Man.

Hey, I just got killed in Slender: The Arrival with 7 out of 8 pages, don't say I'm crazy
