An Idaho witness in Ada County reports watching a “car size, orange, glowing object” that moved in from the north and headed south on July 4, 2012, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness first assumed the object was a small plane that was moving toward the copper basin development.
“Several of us observed this orange, glowing cylinder with a dome top about the size of a car fly low and slow,” the reporting witness stated. “The object was silent.”
The object moved away.
“It then turned towards the east and slowly faded out as it got further away. Absolutely the best 4th of July we will ever remember. I’ve seen moving stars but never up close and in my area.”
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on July 6, 2012. Ada County is in southwestern Idaho, population 392,365.
Idaho is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Idaho had 4 reports in June 2012 – the 33rd highest reporting state while California had 84 reports – the highest reporting state in the nation.
