The record

A massive black triangular craft appeared as a small object on the horizon, then approached very fast and completely silent. It hovered at approximately 200 feet altitude, turned on its axis as if to show its profile, hovered again, then took off at a 90-degree angle from the direction it came, as quickly as it arrived. Witnesses felt no urge to speak about it for approximately 6 months afterward.

source_quote
The craft appeared as if it knew what we were talking about. First very small on the horizon, then approached very fast and completely silent. It hovered for what seemed like an eternity, then turned on its axis as though to show us its profile, hovered for a moment then took off at a 90 degree angle from which it came as quickly as it came.
