According to an eye-witness in Tennessee, they recently spotted not just one but two V-shaped UFOs hovering or “hanging” in the air above an interstate. The account comes from a Tennessee resident who was reportedly on their way to Memphis Airport, driving down I-55 in the early morning hours of June 22, reports Open Minds. The witness says that they saw the two V-shaped UFOs in Tennessee, just outside of Memphis, at about 3:30 a.m. local time.

The Tennessee UFO sighting reportedly took place near the Delta Refinery.

The witness reported the incident to the Mutual UFO Network (more commonly known as MUFON) shortly after it occurred, and the sighting was assigned case number 77441.

“As we got closer, I slowed and rolled my window down and stuck my head out to get a better view. It was not moving nor making any sound. I could not believe what I was seeing.”

According to the witness, the inexplicable V-shaped Tennessee UFO was twice the size of a passenger jet and appeared to be capable of hovering soundlessly in the air.

“Seemed to be over twice the size of a 737 and just hanging there in the sky. Shaped like a V made of two rectangles, cut at the ends to make a point.”

When the witness described the V-shaped Tennessee UFO to the experts at MUFON, they said that the UFO was fairly low in the sky and that they were close enough to the object to see it in incredible detail.

“To the best of my memory, I would guess the object was 1,000 to 1,500 feet up, gray in color with white lights along the lower outer edges except for one red light at the back. I would guess that legs of the V to be 30-feet to 50-feet square and 200-feet to 300-feet long with the span at the back of the V about 150-feet. There were two protrusions that I could make out clearly on the bottom of the closest leg. One was a cylindrical-shaped and the other was like an inverted fender well or a spare tire carrier. I am still befuddled about what it was. I swore to myself I will never travel again without a camera ready. To this day, I want to go back and look, camera ready.”

The person who spotted the V-shaped Tennessee UFO says that they were unable to snap a photo or record video of the unidentifiable craft because their camera was in their luggage and they didn’t feel safe pulling over on the interstate to find it. Despite the inability of this witness to capture photographic evidence of their Tennessee UFO encounter, they are far from the first person in Tennessee to have a run-in with a UFO in recent months. In fact, there has been a rash of Tennessee UFO sightings in 2016.

On May 29, a Knoxville, Tennessee, man saw a triangular UFO hovering in the sky. That witness described what he saw as having three sides, each a mile or more long. That Tennessee UFO sighting also took place after dark at around 9:30 p.m. local time. That instance was also reported to MUFON and assigned case number 76678. As in the instance of the recent V-shaped UFOs spotted in Tennessee, this eyewitness was also unable to get a photograph or video of the craft before it disappeared. He did, however, construct a detailed model of what he claimed to have seen.

Tennessee isn’t the only part of the world to see triangular or V-shaped UFOs in recent months; the craft has been spotted around the world. Many have been captured on video, and many UFO skeptics believe that they aren’t alien in origin at all, but rather top secret government craft.

While the June V-shaped Tennessee UFO sighting wasn’t caught on tape, another Tennessee UFO sighting earlier in 2016 was, and it garnered a lot of attention, reports American Bazaar. In that instance, which took place in in late March, the Tennessee UFO was recorded in the sky above Frayser, Tennessee, which is just outside Memphis.

The UFO in the video below was recorded after a local resident heard seemingly origin-less booms and other sounds coming from the sky over the span of several days. When he finally caught the giant, machine-like UFO on video, it blew his mind, as well as the minds of experienced UFO investigators.

What do you think? Was the June Tennessee UFO sighting legit? Is Tennessee really in the midst of a UFO invasion or an inexplicable number of UFO visitations? Could there really be a fleet (or more) of V-shaped UFOs hovering in the skies above Tennessee?
