Changing over Ethridge, TN

The report, as filed

I was driving on a country road, and there were a few farm houses nearby. There were open fields. About 50 yards from me and 30 ft in the air, was a shape that was dark and vibrating, or fluttering. I first thought it was a bird, but then saw it shimmer, metalic. It was small, about the size of a remote control plane, or a small drone, so I figured that is what it was. I told my daughter what I saw, and she saw no one around, and reminded me we were in Amish country, where people don’t use devices like that. As we passed by it, I saw it in my rear view mirror, and turned around to see it again, but it was gone. It wasn’t a defined shape, but definitely wider then it’s height. It was fluttering, or vibrating, and hovering. It was shinny metal, and dark. I have never before seen anything like this. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
