A group of Delaware witnesses report that a disc-shaped UFO just a few hundred few off of the ground "emerged from a tree line" to their east and "flew slowly almost rotating until directly in front of us" on August 27, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The object accelerated and changed direction to the northwest and then again heading toward the north.
"Object became blurry over horizon after 20-25 seconds and began to rise and fade," the reporting witness stated.
The witness described the object.
"No noise at all, no lights. Looked almost white, but in the dark. Seemed like changing shape from below, but clearly disc shape from side with small central tip underside."
There were five witnesses all together. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on August 27, 2011. No town name was mentioned in the public portion of the report. The above quotes were edited for clarity.
Delaware is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Delaware had 2 reports in July 2011 - while California had 54 UFO reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Delaware MUFON State Director John Ventre investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
DE, August 27, 2011 - Dark disc-like object completely silent, flying low changing course & acelerating. MUFON Case # 31220.
Riverside parkway in non-residential area in western district, unobstructed skies with relatively low treeline, complete panoramic view from open field. Multiple (5) witnesses, not acquaintances, also seen object. We two watching stars & meteors and also spotting satelites too. Completely clear, warm night and absolutely no wind, even breeze on the river.
Spotted object as emerged from treeline on the east, keeping level altitude low, only few hundred feet and travelling to dead west in straight line. Object flew slowly almost rotating until directly in front of us in center of view but acelerating ever faster and changing direction toward NW again in straight line and again to dead north. Object became blurry over horizon after 20-25 seconds and began to rise and fade.
No noise at all, no lights. Looked almost white but in the dark. Seemed like changing shape from below but clearly disc shape from side with small central tip underside.
All five witnesses nervous and some nervously laugh but we two saw immediately and could not explain what we saw and so watched as much as possible. Not balloon! No wind tongiht, very warm and still summer night, object accelerated and kept low from one horizon to another.
