An Illinois witness at Johnston City reported watching a "large, pyramid-shape bigger than a two-story house" just 500 feet away that was moving northeast and making a static-type noise, according to January 2, 2013, testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was working when someone yelled out.
"I have no idea what it was," the witness stated. "It was like nothing I ever saw before. It was 500 feet away overhead and moving northeast. It was making a static-type noise and you could smell ozone like after a lighting strike."
The witness described the object.
"The object was pyramid-shaped around the size of two-story house. It had green, amber, red, and blue lights flashing faintly lit around the trim of it and a soft, white light pulsing across the surface from the center. It was flying around 50 mph."
The object was in view for about 45 seconds. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 2, 2013. The incident occurred on December 29, 2012, with the object vanishing at 6:02 p.m. Johnston City is in Williamson County, population 3,557.
