I want to write this as I have never reported this to anyone who actually beleived me. It was the summer of 1979 and I was 15 at the time, my brother was 12 and was also a witness. I will never forget what happened that day and it will always perplex me and confuse me.
We were in our backyard in Owensboro, Kentucky right on the Ohio River shooting my BB Gun at squirrels and birds. Our backyard was like a jungle in the middle of the city with lots of really big trees as most of the other yards had also. There was a alley behind our house and the trees made a tunnel like canopy all the way down the alley. Our next door neighbor's yard only had one big tree right in the middle in the back. Our yard had a tree and brush line all the way down beside his except for one spot about 8 feet long.
We were walking the brushline down his yard toward the alley when we both heard this very high picthed sound. It seemed to be coming from the alley and was so high we could barely hear it. We both walked to the alley to investigate and saw nothing at first. Then I looked up and saw something. It was a round silver metallic ball about twice the size of a softball. At first we both thought it was something the local utilites had attached to the powerline. We looked around and saw no one and about that time I noticed two more balls just like it and they were directly below the top one in a now known classic triangle pattern. They were hard to see as they were so metallic they were mirror like. I walked closer to investigate at the alarm of my brother. I went directly under them and they were not attached to nothing and just "floating" slowly towards my brother only about 10 feet above me.
This scared the crap out of me and my brother because we both knew this was not right. I ran back to my brother and said "Im gonna shoot at it" and he said "NO! Dont do that" I persisted and from about 10 feet in front of them I started shooting the bottom left one with my Red Rider BB Gun and could actually see and hear the BBs bouncing off the ball.
My brother was already moving way back up the yard toward the house because he was afraid as I kept shooting it 4 to 5 times when I noticed the "hum" was getting louder and the formation was slowly speeding up and moving down, directly at me! I backed up and threw the gun down and ran as fast as I could up the yard. Just as I was almost to the opening to our yard I turned to look and it was right on the ground and really moving fast about 3 or 4 feet behind me. I dove into the bush because I knew i wasent gonna outrun this thing and was so scared I rolled over as fast as I could and saw it go by and then up toward the sky. I felt the wind created by it when it flew past me and wacthed it go into the daytime sky as the sun shown off it very brightly at an amazing speed and then just disappeared into the blue. I knew right at that moment I would never know what that thing was and no one would beleive me.
My brother was beating on the backdoor crying and my mother opened the door and asked what was wrong. We told her exactly what we seen and I could tell she didnt really beleive us even though she knew something really scared us.
That is when my UFO interest started.
I told all of my friends about it and they would laugh. To this day some still act as though they dont beleive me which is fine because I know what I saw and consider myself lucky to have witnessed such a thing. I feel that I have a better outlook on things unknown because of this and there is no dought in my mind that there are some really strange things out there that no one knows about.
Me and my mother were in the grocery store about three months later and I saw a magazine (im pretty sure it was a National Inquirer) and on the headline it said something like "Triangle UFO Kidnapp's Boy" so I begged my mother to buy it and she did. What we read amazed all of us. It said in it that somewhere in the UK, I think near London that there were a dozen or more people in a field in broad daylight and they saw and described "EXACTLY" what I described to my mother and friends to the detail. It went on to say that the three balls swooped down and chased the boy and when it hit him he just disappered. I know these magazines make up alot of stuff but this was exactly what I saw so I was really freaked out about it. It said the boy was missing for 2 weeks and the police found him in the same field asleep and was ok as far as they could tell. If anyone has any information on this incident or a copy of that issue of that story i would greatly appreciate if they would contact me.
I think now that what we saw were comonly known as "foo-fighters" in WWII as they describe them as exactly what we saw. I have also seen lots of videos that give me cold chills because they look just like what chased me. Even when I see a video of three lights flying in a triangle pattern it makes me think of that day.
