I’ve told this story before on this forum. I was just a baby so even if I went out to see it, I would know nothing. But my dad, brothers, and their neighbours all saw it. It was around dusk, I believe. My oldest brother had binoculars. He came rushing in to tell my dad that there was a flying saucer. My dad didn’t believe him...brushed him off. But when he came in a second time with such urgency and excitement, my dad went out to look. He always described it as a stereotypical saucer shape. Oscillating lights around the outside. Absolutely no sound. It hovered for awhile. Went out beyond the pasture. And after a bit, it was gone in an instant. Completely disappeared. My dad did make a call into the local TV station, but they wanted his name and info. With him being in the military at the time, no way was he going to go on record. He didn’t want any visits from any higher ups or guys in white jackets. I think the official line put out was that it was a bread advertisement...lol. My dad saw it with his own eyes as did other witnesses. He said he considered for a few seconds putting the family in the car and getting out of dodge for a bit.
I’ve always enjoyed that story being in my family. I believe it. My mother remembers it even though she stayed inside with me. If I had been old enough, I sure as heck would have went out to see it. This was in Montgomery, AL either 1967 or 68.
Not sure why, but I find all this UFO talk now a big yawn. It’s not that I don’t think it’s possible. There have been many credible sightings over the years. Military people and pilots. Police. Professional people. Credible civilians. But it feels anti-climatic to me now that government officials are coming out with it.
I have friends who have seen a UFO up close and personal. Hovering over the treetops—seen by a car full of sober people.
Good story-—thanks!
