LIVED ON AN ACREAGE IO MILES EAST OF AIRDRIE - DRIVING FROM AIRDRIE WITH SON AND DAUGHTER (8-12) YEARS OLD.LOOKED UP TO SOUTH JUST CLOSE TO FENCE, AND NOTICED A BLACK SHINY AIRPLANE SHAPED OBJECT WITH NO WINGS NO ENGINES, NO TAIL, NO WINDOWS, AND NO LIGHTS- WE GOT OUT OF THE CAR, AND LOOKED UP AT IT PROBABLY 500 FEET ABOVE US, JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE FENCE. IT WAS IN THE AFTERNOON , IT WAS A CLEAR DAY, NO CLOUDS, THERE WAS NO NOISE, WE HAD A CLEAR VIEW OF THE ENTIRE OBJECT AND WE STOOD BY THE FENCE, AND WATCHED IT FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES WHILE IT WAS MOTIONLESS, JUST ABOVE US TO THE SOUTH OF THE ROAD, JUST BY THE FENCE..THEN IT HEADED OFF TO THE SOUTH EAST, GOING VERY SLOWLY, STILL ONLY ABOUT 500 FEET UP, AND THEN IT WENT OFF TO THE SOUTH EAST SIDE OF THE FIELD, FROM WHERE WE HAD WATCHED IT, BEFORE IT SLOWLY GOT OUT OF SITE. WHEN IT LEFT, IT WAS STILL SILENT, AND THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OF ANY KIND.WE THEN WENT HOME, AND TOLD MY WIFE WHAT WE HAD SEEN, AND BOTH OF MY CHILDREN VERIFIED WHAT I HAD TOLD HER.I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN ALL BLACK AIRPLANE, WITH NO WINDOWS, NO LIGHTS, AND ESPECIALLY WITH NO WINGS, AND NO ENGINES, THAT COULD HANG ABOVE US FOR AT LEAST TEN MINUTES, AND THEN HEAD OFF TO THE SOUTH PART OF THE FIELD SLOWLY AT ONLY 500 FEET OFF THE GROUND!!!I DID TELL ALL MY FRIENDS WHAT WE HAD SEEN BUT DID NOT KNOW OF ANY PLACE AT THAT TIME, TO VERIFY WHAT WE HAD SEEN. THIS HAPPENED TWENTY YEARS AGO AT THE END OF THE SUMMER.MICHAEL C D. - RETIRED LAWYER
