North Carolina - 12-30-09

Traveling southeast on Lassiter Road in Johnston County at 6:25 PM on December 30, 2009. Two eyewitnesses saw a small, square craft slowly float by.

The craft was very dark, and the evening light made it difficult to determine an exact shape. It seemed to be square, dark, about 25 ft. square base and maybe 5 ft tall.

We were first caught off guard that a plane would be flying so low at night with no ground lights, but then noticed how slowly the craft was moving.The craft traveled exactly due west (we returned later that night with a compass) about 50-60 ft off the ground and 40 yards to our left over a field at about 30 mph.

The craft had two dim lights, one was definitely red. I thought the other light was a dim green, but the other eyewitness remembered it as a dim white light.

I pulled over, rolled down my window and noticed no sound coming from the low flying craft. I turned around and followed the craft for a few minutes, but it was traveling too low to the tree tops that I soon lost sight of it through the trees.

Also, it was headed due west, and Lassiter Road runs northwest by southeast. So the craft was traveling further away from me the further I traveled up Lassiter Road.

It could have been a plane. But... it was flying very low, extremely slowly, and made no noise. A Cessna flying that low at night would have had ground lights on and been remarkably loud and fast.

I have attached a comp for reference.
