I saw a bunch of them when I was 13 years old. I had just gotten off work (busboy) and was walking home at 1:30 in the morning. I carried a little transistor radio so I could listen to music while walking home. Suddenly the disc jockey came on and said everyone should look up because thousands of people all over the midwest were reporting UFOs, and that a bunch of people at a ball game in Oklahoma City actually reported one of them had landed briefly and it was huge. City block huge. So I looked up and there they were! Really high, though. I watched them all the way home. All I can say about them all these years later is... they were unidentified. By me and everyone else who saw them. Just little specks of light moving around high in the atmosphere. No idea what they were. UFOs. Unidentified.
There are a few crazy ones from here, too. I clearly recall the local NBC affiliate, channel 12, then known as WSJS, breaking into regularly scheduled broadcast to report that a UFO had landed on US 52 near Mt. Airy, and that there were creatures that had what looked like lobster claws. They broke in on programs several times, once to report that the highway had been shut down, it was a four lane road then, still is. This would have to have been early seventies, I doubt I’d remember all that much from before then.
My only experience that was UFO-like occurred along about then, it was fall, chilly, crystal clear night sky out in the country. My folks were building a house at the foot of a mountain. My dad was up there with a stonemason laying the fireplace, my mom and I went to bring them dinner. Once we got outside of town, I noticed an unusually bright star, we had a telescope at home and I was somewhat familiar with the positions of planets and constellations, this one was out of place. It started moving slowly and steadily, and it seemed to me that it was following us. It got closer and brighter, very evidently following us to the point that my mom took note, sort of rattled her. We turned off the hard surface road onto the gravel lane going up to the foot of the mountain, still following. Turned into the construction site and it just blipped out, gone.
