Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object I saw in Fallon is almost identical to the animated model that sigma animation came up with that was seen in Milstadt, IL. Size of Object(s)The aircraft appeared to be maybe 50 feet long. It was hard to tell, I was looking straight up. Description of Area / SurroundingsThe area was semi urban. Neighborhoods had thinned out to farms and open space, but the aircraft had to have gone right over half the town of Fallon to get to the base. Full Description & DetailsI was on my way to work at SMI Joist in Fallon. It was night time and I dont remember for sure the time of year, it wasn't cold so I'm guessing spring or summer. The aircraft couldn't have been more then maybe 500 feet up and moving very slow. When I got to work everyone at the plant had come out to look at the object. Since, at the time I saw the object it was headed straight towards the Navy base ( NAS Fallon), I assumed it was a new project that the government was testing. It was moving very slow as if it were trying to fly under radar. Later, talking to people on the base that I knew they said they didn't know anything about it. However the look I was given as I was being told no told me yes they knew about it but couldn't talk about it.
Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?It went to the base, it was man made, experimental aircraft. Witness BackgroundCurrently, disabled Vet. 16 years in the Marines. Associates Degree. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingAs I said before I watched those saucers in the desert between Ajo and Phoenix and I know they belonged to us. However when I was maybe 11 years old I snuck out of the house a couple of times and went down to the canal (Phx) to smoke cig. One night my friend and I watched a light moving across the valley and it was moving so fast that it couldn't have been an aircraft. We thought it might be a meteor but it was traveling in a straight line and then turned at a 90 degree angle and flew right over the top of us. Later, walking home I was in an area where there were no homes or street lights and the whole area lit up. I froze, couldn't move. It only lasted a few seconds, the light went out and I ran home. I think that was the last time I snuck out of the house. Besides being to scared to sneek out again my parents figured that I went out because like a stupid kid I went through the bathroom window instead of using the door. I cant imagine anything the government could have had that would move that fast. I spent 16 years in the Marines, I never saw anything like that. Other CommentsIn 1979 I was working the oil fields in Wyoming. I was working for a company inspecting drill pipe. We were near some lake west of Green River, it was almost dusk and me and another guy were hauling a pipe straightner back from a job. We saw on the horizen something coming in from space. Even as far away as it must have been we thought it was a meteor. We stopped the truck and braced for an impact. At it got closer to the horizen it slowed down and when it hit the horizen it leveled off. I sat there watching with my mouth open. It looked like a huge cigar. I'd heard of people seeing cigar's but here it was right in front of me ( maybe 5 miles off). It sat there on the horizen for a few minutes then pointed up at about a 45 degree angle and took off so fast that it was shot into space and out of sight within a couple of seconds. I dont think it was swamp gas and I dont think it was anything this government or any other on earth would have. Reported Sighting?NoYour Location:Fallon, Nevada, U.S.Age:53 |
