Full Description & Details

In October of 1975, I was 16 years old. My twin sister and I had been on a Hay Ride with some friends, and had returned home and went to bed. My father called me downstairs at around 1:30 am and was standing on the front porch looking up over our neighbors house across the street. I walked out on the front porch, and was just flat amazed at what we were looking at. There was a bright, red-yellow-orange ball of light above the house across the street, but it was a great distance up in the sky. This thing was huge. It Looked like a basket ball hanging in the air. I tried to focus in on it with my telescope, and a pair of binoculars that belonged to my father. I was unable to do so. We watched this thing for the better part of an hour. The next thing we saw, for lack of a better description, was a flash of silver, like a shooting star, come out of the side of this thing. Then a small silver dot was there next to the ball of light. After a few seconds of hanging there, the small dot shot off at a high rate of speed directly east, and was gone. Then this ball of light started to get smaller, as if it was moving away from us. I watched this thing get to the size of a star and then disappear. In all my years of studying this phenomenon, I have never seen anything like it since. With all the photographic evidence, not once have I seen anything similar to what I saw over thiry years ago.

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

No way in hell. This thing was not from here.

Witness Background

My father has been deceased for 6 years now.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I did not know much about the phenomenon before the sighting, but after thirty years of reading on the subject, I know plenty now.

Other Comments

This thing came from space out past the planet earth. It appeared to be delivering a smaller craft to this planet and then left. Thats the way I saw it happening, and thats what I believe to this day.
