UFO Over New Orleans Moved 'As Fast As Lightning'

A man was strolling through the French Quarter of New Orleans when something in the sky caught his attention long enough for him to take a picture of it.

It was a UFO.

"When I turned the corner, everything changed," the unnamed eyewitness told ABC TV affiliate WGNO.

The 40-year-old amateur photographer initially preferred to remain anonymous, but offered details of the triangular-pattern lights in the sky at 6:30 a.m. on July 19.

"It was probably four or five blocks down the road over Esplanade and it looked like it was the size of a couple of big houses," he said. "It shined its lights in my eyes, so I had no choice but to see it. I've never seen those colored lights in the air before."
