Mysterious UFO Over Kentucky Identified

On October 16, 2012, a UFO was spotted in the skies over Pike County, Ky. Allen Epling, amateur astronomer, described it as looking "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," Epling said. "Then, it would dim down almost invisible ... It wasn't anything I recognized. Definitely not an airplane, and I've never seen a helicopter that looked like that."

Epling wasn't the only one to see it. People in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia all reported seeing the object. Calls were made to local airports, but no one could give an explanation.
