Richmond VA: Neon-Green Teardrop UAP Descends Over Residential Area, Multiple Witnesses
On the evening of Thanksgiving, 27 November 2009, married couple Art and Lauren (first names only per investigation report) observed a silent neon-green teardrop-shaped object with a white blinking tail descending at a 45-degree angle over their residential neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia.
The object moved slowly and deliberately before disappearing behind a tree line. Additional witnesses at various locations in the neighborhood, including patrons at a nearby Hardee's drive-through, independently confirmed observing the same object.
The sighting was reported to MUFON on 30 November 2009 and investigated under the BAASS/AAWSAP framework. The case is notable for its multiple independent witness groups across different vantage points and the unusual teardrop configuration — a shape category relatively rare in UAP documentation compared to disc, triangular, or spherical forms.
