I suspect you mean the object shown on this page: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2022.html?theme=light
If it's a hoax, it's certainly an imaginative one. There's another series of pictures of it somewhere showing a slightly different configuration. The birdcage on top and reports of crackling noises suggests some sort of electrostatic propulsion, like those triangular "antigravity" flyers (whose proper name escapes me at the moment).

I'm going to take a stab in the dark that the photos we'll see when the link is eventually fixed are the floating ring with antennas and strakes extending from the edges and fluttery, curved filaments extending from the upper surface, supposedly floating over a wooded area. Oh, and mysterious, "alien" writing visible on it.
Fake. Fake, fake, fake, fake. Notice how in the long-distance shots, the object and the plants in the foreground are both in focus? Yeah. It's fake.
Is this the one you meant?

Sorry, the link didn't work. But generally all one needs to see is "coast-to-coast" to realize it's just more modern folklore and hype. Art Bell has never, in all his years of championing extraordinary claims, been able to produce one solid piece of evidence for anything like UFO's, ET's, alien abductions, etc. He's not the only one. These people and their books and documentaries and radio shows always present an air of plausibility, but they have never produced anything that has held up to scrutiny.
I wish I could see the pictures. I have gotten pretty good at photo identification over the years.
But why should I even try to answer you when you have already disallowed any answer that might show that the photo is fake? And you say it's been investigated, but I'll bet it hasn't been investigated by anyone who considered the possibility of it being a fake or misidentification. So-called UFO investigators are nothing but flag wavers for their cause and they want to get in the limelight. There aren't many rational, objective investigators like Philip Klass left.

Could be photo shopped, but interesting if it were real. I'm not sure if being so easily seen by an amateur photographer or hiker, it would escape the attention of a more reliable source. Also, there are no references as to its dimensions.

It's a hoax. It's a bunch of bits and wires stuck together and painted with a faux Kilngon script to make it look wierd.

Simple: someone is pretty good at Photoshop, and has a lot of free time!
