2001-04-16 - Murfreesboro, TN - Disk

Mysterious Disk seen lying on ditch of Tennessee Highway 840. Seen from an adjecent non-connected road. Then the Disk Vanished.

While headed for the University, I was driving with my Grandmother when I noticed what appeared to be a car in the ditch of Highway 840. The color was a sort of brownish blue Maybe a teal purple or brown also, and I could see only what I thought was the roof of the car and I saw the sun shining off it. As we rounded the road that ran along side 840, I wanted to see if it was a state troopers car. As our car got closer to the object, I noticed that it was not a car. It was a perfect Disk. About 2-3 feet round. It was doing nothing at all. As I watched, I thought it began moving along the ground. But before I could get some sense of its direction. It vanished. There was no noise, no flash of light. It just vanished. I asked my Grandmother if she had seen the disk and she said no . I then thought maybe I did not see what I had seen, but then I remembered that I had thought at first it was a car in the ditch. There was moderate traffic on 840 highway. But at the angle the object was laying it would had been hard to see it from that road. Only from my road could you see it. Our car was the only one on the road we were on. After it "Vanished" I looked again to see if there was a car there and there was nothing there at all. I did not go over to the express way to see if it left anything behind. I am unnerved by this. I am having a hard time believing that I actually saw it. The only thing I know is at first I thought it was a car in the ditch. THE OBJECT: It was about 2-3 feet in diameter or long. It was about a foot high. and It was a perfect disk. There was no sign of life in the short 2-3 minutes the event took place in. The person who is reporting this (ME) Is very un-nerved. I truely want to believe it did not exist but I saw it. There was no time lost. and I arrived on time to the University.
