Police officer Mark Coltrane observes and photographs disc

[Atlas]

On April 19, 1978, police officer Mark Coltrane was on patrol in the vicinity of Colfax, a small town with a thousands of inhabitants in Wisconsin, USA. At midday, he decided to stop the car to eat something, in a small isolated area. He noted that his radio was emitting crackles.

He then noticed a metallic looking disc raising towards the the sky at a short distance from the parking space.

While the object seemed to move towards him, Coltrane picked up his Polaroid camera, came out of the car and snapped some photographs. The object was so close in one of the images that it is possible to notice some details of its lower surface.

In [the second] photograph the object is starting to move away.

The total observation lasted a few minutes, the object being lost from his sight when it accelerated and fled in the distance.

Coltrane, shocked by the sighting, remained in amazement for two hours without saying anything, by fear of being ridiculed when he would have to submit his report to his chiefs.

It's simply a remarkable story. It appears to be circular, with the power source at the center and either 4 stabilizers or 4 extended power sources on the side of it. It appears to be made of some kind of metallic material. I would guess it is driven by electromagnetic energy in a way that allows them to control gravity. It is remarkable that this happened 37 year ago. Thanks Atlas for posting information on these old and very good UFO incidents.

And disks like that are still flying around ;)
But the one I witnessed with an under view (around 4 k feet up, had no details or features at-all, just a fast (Smooth, then pause, smooth motion) flat gray disk!
