Full Description & Details

Mother was hanging up laundry. She called to my brother and me to look. We saw it hovering over our garden plot as if looking at us. It seemed to land in some bushes in the edge of the clearing and went to and fro as if to right itself with gyroscope type movements. It was so shiny and we ran to it frantically. It rose as if to look at us briefly and then shot straight up and out faster than one could hardly comprehend. We did not have a telephone so we ran to a neighbors house so my mother could call police. They dismissed it as a toy or something the Millington Naval Air Station was testing and suggested that my mother settle down. When I married, I told my husband and he was also had seen one at about 5 or 6 as did I. He was raised in the suburbs of Memphis but on the other side about 40 miles away. His was with his brother and several other boys. His grown brother- a school superintendent- agreed having witnessed two objects larger and cigar shaped.
