Man adamant that he's stumbled upon a UFO covered in mysterious fur

A man from North Carolina is claiming that he has found a UFO that features heavy-duty metal and some odd bits of fur.

Justin Clontz, an American works at Glamping Collective, a luxury campsite in Haywood County, describes what he saw as a 'once in a lifetime' discovery while out working.

The popular holiday spot apparently became the landing spot for a huge unidentified flying object - something that Justin said wasn't a common occurrence.

The weird occurrence had him feeling 'shocked' when he was trying to figure out what it was, as Justin said he was in pure disbelief.

"It's once in a lifetime you know, it don't happen every day," he stated.

The discovery happened when he and a coworker spotted the large object on a secluded trail near Canton, with photos taken revealing a burnt carbon fibre shell with robust metal plates bolted together, sporadically covered in bits of fur around the edges.

As it was extremely heavy, Justin had to haul the object from the area, and managed to drag it away with the help of a lawnmower.

He revealed his unique removal method to WLOS: "I just tied a rope to it and drug it out with a lawn mower.

"It's a one in a million chance that it lands, especially if it landed somewhere off the trail in the woods you'd have never found it but it just happened to land on the trail."

The campsite worker also highlighted that the object managed to land between a gap in the trees without causing a fire, landing silently as the object was deep in the woods.

Justin highlighted that you don't hear much from the woods when you get far down that trail.

Following the discovery, he has been looking for aerospace experts for help to identify the UFO's origins - though he has not any clarification from anyone just yet.

Justin's discovery is not the only possible sighting of UFOs in the world this year, as a town in Japan spotted floating lights in the sky, in something from a dystopian film.

The residents of Tottori Prefecture in southern Japan spotted nine mysterious pillars of light floating in the sky on 11 May.

The lights were originally shared on X by user Maashii, who wrote: "Around 22:00 today, I discovered a streak of light above Mikaya Port in Daisen Town, Tottori."

"When I looked up at the night sky in front of my house, I saw several streaks of light in the sky," he also told Japanese news site Hint-Pot.

The lights appeared to be floating to the north of the town above the Sea of Japan, with the tweet viewed over 12.1 million times and capturing the attention of several X users.
