Full Description & Details

San Antonio was a major military area in 1951 ( still is to some degree) & during the summer of 1951 there were many nights that the whole neighborhood would come out in the evening, put blankets down on the grass and watch the lights zip around. These lights would fly in one direction, stop, change directions, sometimes sideways, just anyway they wanted and they were very fast. The lights would stay around for quite sometime. Everyone thought they were UFO's. I was only six at the time but I believe all of this was reported in the newspapers of the day. Although I was young, it make quite an impression on me. I lights were very clear and about the brightness of a medium star, very easy to see. It even got the boy across the street to built a big telescope. Later, he became an engineer and went to work for NASA.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Absolutely not

Other Comments

I saw a "fireball" fly up near one of the military bases in the summer of 1964 while driving toward the base which the news were reporting had :lights" flying around it. My brother & two friends saw it to. Also, in 1968 I was on the phone when I felt a "presence" & turning around, saw a tall, gray figure with no mouth. Telepathicly, it told me "to be careful". That's all it said, though how long it stayed I'm not sure. That's about all.
