Below is the full report the man submitted:

I had just started a bonfire in my backyard; my girlfriend was in the house cooking. While standing in my yard I noticed a large bright craft coming through the trees. As it made its way into my full view I noticed it seemed to look like a very large oversized jet with white lights at least three on each side of what at first appeared to be wings, as well as red lights on the under belly of the craft. As this object started to pass above me I remember thinking this plane is huge. Just at that moment I’m not sure exactly what happened! This object appeared to change shape or the clouds moved around and away from it. The craft may have rotated or changed direction at this point, it was all so breath taking I was just in shock of what I was seeing. I could have possible been seeing some sort of cloaking technology. The next thought I had was that this was no plane but a gigantic circular craft with a smaller circle within that began to rotate. The craft did have bright white lights an on its outer rim maybe 6 or more and the inner circle had red lights at least two but at the angle of my view felt like there was three that spun with the inner circle. This all happened in seconds. Next I turned an ran to get my girlfriends attention so I was not the only witness to this incredible experience. Really wish I would have pulled out my phone. After getting my girlfriend with panic in my voice I said look a UFO and she was able to see the craft as it was flying away at a fast steady past not super fast though. She did say it looked unusual but the craft had moved a good distance by now. So she by no means had the same up close experience I had. I also remember seeing what looked like two vertical white lights witch appeared to be lager the the craft. It looked like what would seem to me to be some sort of exhaust for the craft. After words there was a lot of plane activity in the sky, and the just paled in comparison to what I had just saw. They also where fling much higher. I really hope me coming forth with this report will help other come forward as well.

According to the Examiner, no images or videos were filed with the report. Must just be a coincidence that nobody has their smart phone handy when these things happen, huh?
