In 2001 My girlfriend and I were traveling from Phoenix to Las Vegas along highway 93. It was probably around 12 or 1 in the afternoon, broad daylight. We weren’t tired yet and were enjoying the lonely drive. While I was driving, I noticed some small buildings and structures coming up on the right side of the road. That’s when I looked up and saw a white tube/cylinder shaped object about 80-100 feet up in the air. It was motionless and I assumed it was sitting on thin stilts because it was so still. As our car got closer I saw that it was indeed floating in the air.

My eyes and brain trying to comprehend what I was seeing, I pointed at it and yelled “what is that!? what is that!?” to my girlfriend. Her reaction was sedate, she says “Oh, I’ve seen those before, they have them all over the place on the airbase.” My girlfriend was in the Airforce Cadets as a teen. I said again “What is that?! How can it float like that?!” Again she was sedate and basically told me it was “no big deal.” We had driven past it at this point. I wanted to stop the car, but she convinced me not to, and I forgot about it. Her reaction and what I saw always make me feel uneasy when I think about it. I have been thinking about this event a lot lately and that is why I have decided to submit it. Sometimes I feel that perhaps I can not trust my own memory, or maybe someone else has seen it?
