Hickson needed three shots of liquor from a bottle in his car to calm his nerves before deciding to report what happened.

I suspect they had more than a couple of shots before seeing "the UFO"

Sorry but i've heard too many "coon stories" to believe this tale.

For our urban friends, a coon story is akin to a tall tale, with a smiggon of truth told, usually to entertain but somethimes to draw in the unsurspecting stranger(read: city slicker, yankee city slicker is best)"

Jerry Clower was the best example of telling coon stories.

Gee, thank you for your patronizing attitude toward us. Seems to me that we should pay much more attention to the credibility of the guy who saw the UFO.

My cousin, an intelligent man who owns a successful company, saw something with his brother in one of the fields of our family homestead. Must’ve been when he was about 15 — in the ‘60s. He doesn’t like to talk about it and won’t go into details.

P.S. No matter what is or isn’t outthere, God is in control.

An example of an coon story:

“Cow tippin’”

Anyone who has handle cattle knows there is no such thing.
Been working with cattle since I was twelve and they always heard me coming no matter how quietlty I crept(I’ve tried)

Sneaking up on an herd of cattle is as likely as encoutering an UFO in the middle of Manhatten.

And to think a healthy cow would stand stil and allow itself to be pushed over is so absurb only a fool or and urban dweller would believe such. Anyone who claims they’ve done it is pulling your leg.

Tippin’ one over is as likely as choppin a tree with blow.

Unless of course, you’re Paul Bunyon..
