"I heard absolutely no sound and noticed that the object was devoid of markings" - UFO Over Austin

• When: March 30th, 2022 at 1:10 PM
• Where: Austin (between Coastal Dr. and Mopac Expressway)
• What: Silver, rod or "Tic Tac"-shaped object seen hovering

An Austin, Texas resident spotted something strange in the sky a few days ago - specifically, a silent, cylindrical object hovering in the air. Although the witness did not have a camera on them at the time, they were able to draw a picture of the UFO and send it, along with testimony, to me:

Driving home from work on Wednesday at about 1:10 PM, I turned from Davis Ln going east to north on Coastal Dr. Shortly after turning north, I looked to the west at a clear blue sky and noticed a rather large Silver/White cylindrical object hovering in place oriented in a North/South direction. The ends of it were rounded like a metal CO2 cylinder. At first, I thought it might be an airplane, but I noticed it had no visible wings or tail. It was rather low in the sky and was obscured somewhat by the trees lining the neighborhood and I moved farther north to get a clear view by pulling over at an intersection that would allow a full view of the object. There was another woman on the street walking her dog who was apparently unaware of the strange sight. I heard absolutely no sound and noticed that the object was devoid of markings, seams, lights, windows, or lettering of any kind and then it suddenly began to move south, as if someone had just stepped on an accelerator causing it to move deliberately at a constant, but not very fast, speed until it was no longer visible from the trees that blocked any further observation. I questioned what I was seeing, whether it was an aircraft or a blimp, but neither of those would act in such a strange way. It was apparent to me that the object was definitely out of place and not a typical aircraft. I had no camera available so I am offering a drawing I made to approximate what I saw. Could this be one of the "tic-tacs" that we have been hearing about?

Compare this sketch and testimony to other similar sightings in Texas:

Although the witness considered that the hovering object could be something easy to explain like an aircraft or blimp, they ended up concluding that it was a UFO. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below, or on Facebook or Twitter.
