9 UFOs appeared and disappeared into nothing before my eyes In July and August 2004, I witnessed a sight that changed my ideas about UFOs, like a giant sombrero. It just hung there, 30 degrees above the horizon. The edges were black, and the crown was cream-colored. 

I watched him for about 30 seconds, looked away for a moment, and he was gone. There were no clouds in the sky that day. I scanned the sky, but there was nothing to be seen. It was just a blue sky. 

In August of that year, I took up golf again around the same time, at 3:00 p.m., when I was attracted by a flash in a cloudless blue sky. At first I didn't see anything, but then I saw a group of objects that I initially thought were birds. They were about the size of a dinner plate, but as they went down and got bigger, I could see that they were actually disks. They were a dull white color and rose and fell as if they were floating on a wave and moving very slowly. They were about 5 to 6 feet across. Estimating their true size was difficult, as I had no idea how tall they were. I counted 9 of them, and when they lined up in a very ragged formation of two in a row, one then turned and went southwest, but when it reached a certain point, it just cleared and just dissolved into nothing.

I was absolutely amazed by what I saw. Then I turned my attention back to the others and focused on the next lead disc, and it disintegrated in the same way. At first it started to turn black at the front, then turned to a dark olive green, and as it developed simultaneously, I could just make out the bulge at the top before it dissolved into a cloud of black dots. Like pixels on a computer. There were no flashing lights, no noise of any kind. And although their speed never changed, each of them disappeared into the same spot in the cloudless blue sky as silently as they appeared. 

The whole episode lasted about two minutes. I accidentally found this site and decided to tell someone about what I saw. I was very skeptical about the whole UFO scene, but not now.

Summary: 9 UFO’s appeared and dissolved into nothing before my eyes In July and August 2004 I privy to a sight that has changed my thinking about UFO’s I was out at my local golf course having a lone hand of golf at approximately 3.00 pm when saw and object in the sky that looked like giant sombrero. It was just hanging there, about 30 deg up on the horizon. The brim was jet black in color and the crown was a cream color. I watched it for about 30 sec and I looked away for and instant and it was gone. There was not a single cloud in the sky on this day. I searched the sky but it was no where to be seen. There was just blue sky. In August the same year I was practicing golf again at around the same time, 3.00 pm when I was attracted by a flash in the cloudless blue sky. At first I couldn’t see anything, but then I saw a group of objects that I at first mistook for birds. They looked about the size of a dinner plate but as they descended and grew larger I could see that they were in fact discs. They were dull white in color and rising and falling as if they were riding a wave and going very slowly. They looked to be approximately 5 to 6 feet across. Estimating their true size was difficult as I had no idea how high they were. I counted 9 of them, and as they leveled out in a very ragged two abreast formation, one then turned and went away to the south west, but when it reached a certain point it just pure and simply dissolved into nothing. I was absolutely amazed at what I was seeing. I then turned my attention back to the others and focused on the next leading disc and it dissolved in the same manner. At first it began to go black at the front then turned into deep olive green and as it was turning at the same time I could just make out a bulge at the top before it dissolved into a cloud of black dots. Like pixels on a computer. There was no flashing lights or any kind of noise. And all the while their speed never varied, each one of them disappeared at the same point in the cloudless blue sky as silent as they came. The whole episode lasted for about two minutes. I found this site by accident and decided to tell someone about what I saw. I was very skeptical about the whole UFO scene, but not now.
