A craft hoving about 30 ft. (tree level)Off the ground. It was dusk dark and i walked out of the house to get some wood for our heater.
I did not hear a sound and as i turned to the wood pile i looked off to my right and saw this object hoving in place with lights on the part that i could see.I ran back into the house and got my Boy Scout glasses and told my nephew what i saw and we ran out of the house back into the yard.The craft was still hoving in place and as we continue to observe it a smaller craft with lights descended from the bottom of the large craft to the ground as if it was looking for something.
The small went back into the large craft and it took off with lightening speed into the sky and disappeared.In 1973,i was listening to the news and a lady in Biloxi,ms described the exact same thing that i saw. What pique my interest you write you last evening i was watching a Walker Texas Rangers and they had a segment about UFO.
They showed a tape of a lady in Texas,i believe in 1953,who described the exact same thing that me and the lady in Biloxi,ms saw.Now you tell me how three individual at different time,location and states see and described the same thing if it not real?I rest my case.In the Coast Guard they call me the " Flash".

Long overdue report of UFO witnessed at a close range--years ago Me and a friend were going squirrel hunting and was in his car,as we parked,Cigar shaped object approched us at treetop level, traveling from the East at a very slow speed. Object projected a very bright light upon us as it hovered overhead. We were extremely close to Object.
It had a light in front and several dim ones down sides. It appeared to be the size of a large bus. Some sort of strange sound(crackling)from rear when it took off at an unbelievable high rate of speed toward the Northwest.
This is the first time I or my friend have ever reported publicly. And I haven't a clue why I am doing it now. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).
