“What was your location?”

32° 2’13.49”N
81° 2’55.13”W

Building on the corner and trees along the road weren’t there. Closest approach had the UFO about 200 yards north of us and about 100 yards above the marsh. Close enough that it scared us.

A diamond pattern of white lights slowly went behind that building, from left to right, heading southeast). The lead part of it appeared on the right before the trailing part of the pattern went behind the left side of the building. I was turning right on Main and followed it heading east and jagging south a couple of times as fast as my 71 bug would go and it was slowly pulling away. Never heard a thing. That area then was nothing but farmland.

This is the same building.

From the shadow I estimate the size of the object was 3 times the width (108 feet) of that shadow, putting the length of the object at about 324 feet. Since it went behind the building relative to my position the altitude was about 800 feet or less. Speed was about 80 mph.

Totally silent.

There were a lot of sightings that day. This one was in Oak Cliff, about 10 miles away on the south west side of Dallas. I don’t think the kid (5) could tell how big it really was or what the altitude was. He had it at 55 feet in diameter and 200 feet up. Projecting that up to about 800 feet and you get the size I estimated.

Never saw anything like it since.
