Aircraft carrier shaped UFODuring the summer of 1978, while I was fishing near Ketchikan, I looked across the ocean at the island in the distance. I was shocked when I saw a huge, gray UFO that looked similar to an aircraft carrier, hanging in between two mountain tops. I did not notice any lights on the craft, but clearly saw a soft shiny, metallic hue surrounding it. As I sat in my boat with chills running down my neck, it hung between the mountains for several minutes. Then, in a blink of an eye (literally), it simply disappeared from sight without making a sound. Having spent my entire life in Alaska, I have witnessed many strange sights, but not many that compared to this UFO.I am curious to know if anyone else has seen this particular shaped UFO? Since this sighting, I have witnessed strange lights hovering in the sky and then moving quickly out of range, but I have never again had the pleasure of seeing this particular craft.((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
