Eyewitnesses in Kentucky have reported a UFO sighting last week. Astronomer Allen Epling confirms the sighting, and has even caught it on camera.

Using a telescope, he was able to capture a close shot of the flying objects. The weather conditions were ideal for shooting.

“Clear, cloudless skies, no aircraft in sight, altitude unknown but definitely above airliner cruising altitude," he describes.

The object he saw appeared white, in the form of adjoined circular bulbs. He first saw what appeared to be a bright light, but was able to make out the characteristics of the flying object as it hovered.

The footage was captured over Virgie, Kentucky.

"[It] looked like two fluorescent bulbs, side by side, parallel, shining very brightly. It would get so bright they would seem to merge, and you could see it very clearly with the naked eye. Then it would dim down almost invisible," he explains.
