(March 24, 2010) Examiner.com reported today that one of its staff members witnessed a metallic disc-shaped UFO. A resident in San Rafael, California reported the same object to the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). The sighting occurred on March 22, 2010 at 5:20 PM. and below is a summary of the Examiner witness' experience.While watching the skies, the witness saw a twin-engine commercial jet approaching from the southwest. The witness then used his Bushnell binoculars in an attempt to identify the airline that owned the jet. As it flew over the witness' residence, a disc-shaped craft appeared out of nowhere. The craft seemed to fly alongside the jet; its flight described as "unstable". The witness noted that the UFO did not emit any sound or lights and had no discernible features such as windows, wings "or other stabilizers". He estimated that the UFO flew 5,000-7,000 feet above his house.
Continuing his observation, the witness followed the UFO as it cruised beside the jet. He noticed that it did not flutter in the wind as would a balloon or some other lighter-than-air object. He seemed convinced that it was not a "pearl", "orb", "hologram" or "military drone".
The witness surmised that the UFO was simply observing the commercial jet or that its presence was a way by which extraterrestrials are trying to expose "more and more people to their presence".
