I was driving home when I saw a white object in the sky. At first I didn't think anything about it as helicopters fly in to our local hospital. However this object flew close to the tree line and was moving really fast. Was able to snap a few pictures while driving to catch up. I turned on a road next to a funeral home and saw it suddenly stop in the sky and hover. I took a video showing it just sitting there in the sky. Then I got freaked out and drove away.

Tullahoma, TN

Right after sundown my husband was pulling our car into the garage and noticed a bright light to the west in the sky. It was a hazy, cloud covered sky and with no at that time. He came in the house to get his binoculars and then 5 min. later asked me, his wife, to come outside to look at something. At first it appeared oblong with many lights that were a bright white in color, when looking through the binoculars. However it started changing shapes and was moving to the right and then to the left and then started making maneuvers that were seemingly random, changing shapes and slowly moving closer, then farther away and making zigzag, circular and other shapes of movement. After about 30 minutes it started getting farther away and was totally gone within 5 minutes. We have amended the time of the sighting shown above. PD
