Appearance / Description of Object(s)

IT WAS A SILVER, DISH SHAPED OBJECT WITH A METTALIC LIKE FINISH. IT HAD YELLOW VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS ILLUMINATING THE MIDDLE AND A RED FLASHING LIGHT AT THE TOP WHICH WAS DOME LIKE.

Size of Object(s)

I CAN'T ESTIMATE THE SIZE - WHEN I GO BACK NOW AND LOOK AT THE AREA WHERE IT HAPPEND IT SEEMS VERY SMALL, BUT THE LAWN WAS BIGGER BEFORE THE ADDITION OF A PORCH TO THE HOUSE AND I THINK, BUT AM NOT SURE, THAT PART OF THE OBJECT WAS IN THE STREET ALSO.

Description of Area / Surroundings

MCKEE CITY ( WHICH IS CALLED GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP NOW) WAS A RURAL AREAR THEN - IT'S STARTING TO BE MORE SUBURBAN NOW.

Full Description & Details

WE WERE ALL PREPARING FOR BED. I WAS IN MY BEDROOM SNEAKING A CIGARETTE WHEN I HEARD MY MOTHER SAY "Y'ALL COME HERE AND LOOK AT THIS, I KNOW I AM NOT SEEING THINGS." I HADN'T FINISHED MY CIGARETTE SO I ASKED MY BROTHERS (4) WHAT WAS IT, BUT NO ONE ANSWERED ME. I THEN WALKED OUT OF MY ROOM HEADING TOWARDS MY MOTHERS ROOM WHERE I SAW A BRIGHT YELLOW LIGHT COMING FROM MY MOTHER'S BEDROOM WHICH WAS ILLUMINATING THE HALLWAY. I THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD DRIVEN UP ON OUR LAWN WITH THEIR CAR AND HAD THEIR HIGH BEAMS ON POINTED IN MY MOTHER'S WINDOW. WHEN I ENTERED MY MOTHER'S ROOM MY MOTHER AND BROTHERS WERE JUST STANDING THERE NOT MAKING A SOUND. NO ONE ANSWERED ME WHEN I ASKED WHAT IS IT. STILL EXPECTING TO SEE A CAR I MOVED TOWARDS THE WINDOW AND GOT THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE. THERE ON OUR LAWN AND PARTIALLY IN THE STREET WAS A ROUND, SILVER, METALLIC OBJECT. THE TOP WAS VIBRATING RED AND THE CENTER WAS WHERE THE YELLOW ILLUMANATING LIGHT WAS COMING FROM. NO ONE SPOKE. WE JUST STOOD THERE LOOKING AT SOMETHING WE WERE TOLD DOES NOT EXIST. IT MADE NO NOISE. I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT NONE OF US MADE A MOVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER. ALTHOUGH MY BROTHERS WERE YOUNG AND INQUISTIVE, THEY NEVER MADE A MOVE FROM THAT WINDOW. ITS AS IF WE SENSED SOME TIME OF DANGER. I CAN'T SAY HOW LONG WE STOOD THERE. WE FINALLY HEARD PEOPLE SHOUTING, "DID YOU SEE THAT?", WHAT IS THAT?" WHICH FINALLY BROKE THE SPELL. THIS THING RAISED UP OFF THE GROUND WITHOUT A SOUND UNTIL IT REACHED THE TOP OF THE TREES THEN SPED OFF. THERE WAS NO SMOKE OR FLAMES COMING FROM IT. I DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THE REST OF THE NIGHT AND WE, AS A FAMILY, NEVER DISCUSSED THIS INCIDENT AGAIN. IT'S ONLY BEEN LATELY THAT I HAVE BEGUN TO DISCUSS IT WITH MY BROTHERS. THEY SAY WHAT'S THE POINT IN TELLING PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY'LL THINK YOU'RE LYING OR MAKING IT UP. I KNOW WHAT I SAW AND IT HAS CHANGED MY VIEW OF THE WORLD AND RELIGION AS WE KNOW IT. I ALSO KNOW THAT THINGS ARE BEING HIDDEN FROM US.

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

ABSOLUTELY NOT - HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE OR SINCE.

Witness Background

CLERICAL WORKER-H.S. GRAD.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I KNOW THEY EXIST - WHETHER THEY'RE MAN MADE (THIS THING WAS SMALL - NO ADULT OR AVERAGE SIZED CHILD COULD FIT IN IT) OR FROM OUT OF SPACE I DON'T KNOW. EXCEPT FOR THE SCARY 50 & 6Os SPACE MOVIES, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I WAS ONLY 12.
