Boomerang UFO hovers near Tombstone, Arizona

Boomerang UFO hovers near Tombstone, Arizona

An Oregon couple visiting Tombstone, AZ, watched a boomerang-shaped object that appeared to be about three miles away and under one and-a-half miles high on October 17, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

"With the naked eye I could see the dark area on the left and the bright white vertical boomerang shape on the right," the reporting witness stated. "I grabbed my camera and took about four pictures, the one I posted is the best image. These images were able to provide much more detail than I could see otherwise."

AZ, October 17, 2010 - Tombstone AZ - Hovering white boomerange with dark oval shape. MUFON Case # 26107.

My wife and I were down from Oregon for my sisters wedding in Tuscon Arizona on Saturday the 16th of October 2010. Sunday the 17th we drove out to Tombstone where they just by chance for us were having Helldorado days which was a lot of fun.

As we were leaving Tombstone we stopped at Boot Hill cemetery just at the north end of town. After walking through the cemetery my wife and I were about to get into the car. I looked out over the road (HWY 80) toward the west to take in the scenery out over the desert. That's when I noticed something just hanging there maybe a mile or 1.5 miles high and about 3 miles total distance. It hovered and did not appear to move. It was a little difficult to see with the Sun facing me at about 2 o'clock with the object to the left at 9 or 10 o'clock. At first I considered it could be a hot air balloon but I quickly ruled that out. I thought the sun could be reflecting off of something but that would mean there had to be something there to reflect off of.

With the naked eye I could see the dark area on the left and the bright white vertical boomerang shape on the right. I grabbed my camera and took about four pictures, the one I posted is the best image. These images were able to provide much more detail than I could see otherwise.

My wife also could see the object as well. With no nearby roads leading out to the object and not knowing what it was we decided to leave after watching it for about ten minutes. During that time it did not appear to move, if anything it got a little closer.
