Silver disk with light beam In June of 1976 my husband and I were traveling to Dalewood on I-20 from Meridian, Ms. it was a clear summers evening just going into twilight when I noticed a bright light shining through a thick stand of pine trees to our left. I thought that "sure is a bright yard light".

About that time we topped a hill on the interstate and directly over the trees we saw a large silver disk hovering right over the treetops. It was approx. 40-50 feet in diameter and encircled with different colored lights.

Right from the center of the disk a VERY bright beam of light was directed into the trees. I had the feeling that it was collecting something or leaving something with the light beam. In just a few seconds the beam turned off and the disk rose about 30 feet in the air and departed at a fantastic rate of speed toward the horizon.

Several cars slowed down to look also. We had our windows down and the object was soundless. My husband was terrified over the event.

We listened to the radio and watched the papers for several days to see if there were any reports. But there weren't.

Haunting overhead light My parents and I had been visiting my aunt and uncle in Pass Christian, Ms. We lived in the next town just east of them.in Long Beach.

We had been invited to have chicken gumbo at their home. After finishing supper my Dad had fallen asleep while watching T.V.

It was around 2:00 a.m. before we finally left for home.

We were traveling east on Pineville Rd. when all of a sudden the entire inside of our vehicle lit up a bright blueish/white. We had no idea what was going on and were scared half to death.

The light seemed to extend to either side of us. There were fenced fields to our left and right near the road and the light touched just beyond the fences to the best of my recolection. There was no sound and no other vehicles in the area.

I remember my Dad stopping the car. My Mom said."What's that.

where is it coming from"? I was sitting in the middle of the back seat and couldn't figure out what was happening. My first instinct was to look up because I thought the overhead car light had turned on, but then quickly remembered it was busted out. I believe Dad had stepped out of the car, crossed the ditch to the right of us, looked out in the field, came back and said.

"It's not coming from out there". The next thing I remember is riding the rest of the way home and entering the house, looking at the digital clock on the dining table (can't remember what time it read) and going to bed.The next morning while Mom and I sat at the table sipping on a cup of tea she remarked.

"I wonder what that was.it seemed to come from above and behind us. I was too scared to turn around".

Well we were all terrified.of what I don't know. It seemed almost 'taboo' to discuss the subject.

We all felt violated for some reason. Nothing made sense to any of us. We felt like silence was an 'instruction' and we wern't suppose to talk about this occurance.

It still haunts me today because I can't remember just what this was that invaded our lives. Both my parents are deceased now and I can only hope one day I'll find the a! nswers. ((NUFORC Note: We can only guess at the date.

We have assigned an arbitrary date, so that the case sorts to the 1970's. PD)).

UFO sighted in Pine City Mn. My family and I had just moved into the country about 6 miles north of Pine City, Minnesota. We loved looking at the stars and northern light at night.

Everything is so vivid. I had recently lost my job driving Greyhound bus, sold the house in Minneapois and decided to rough it for a while. We lived a primitave life style growing our own food, a hand pump outside and an outhouse.

One evening when the family had gone to bed, I stepped outdoors to releive myself. I was facing north looking for the northern lights when I sensed movement behind me. There was a cigar shaped object traveling west to east and slightly downward.

It dissapeared behind the treeline. I thought it was a falling star at first but then I realized it was moving much too slow and was not brightly lit. The more I thought about it the more I thought it must have been an UFO.

Two days later I went to town and found everybody talking about some woman on a farm that had a UFO in their yard. It wasn't until later in the day that I put 2 & 2 together that I figured this must have been what I had seen also. The event was recorded in the Pine City Press.

I have never reported this to anyone except my family and some freinds. I don't remember the date but I am sure it will be found in the Pine City Press. ((NUFORC Note: Date and time are approximate.
