North Carolina UFO Sightings in 1981

Full Report Text:

I was leaving my job at the hospital in 1981. I had a newborn son and my husband was with him at my home in Henderson NC.I was driving up Creedmore Rd or Highway, and I put my brakes on at the top of the hill because I saw an object that I thought was a soapbox, like a soapbox derby.

The moon was full that night, and I wondered why there were kids out on the street at 11pm. After I slowed down, I looked at this object, and it started to take off at an incredible speed down the hill. It was going at a fast speed, but it always maintained a low altitude, almost flying on the ground.

I started to accelerate my car speed, until I looked at my spedometer, and realized that I was going 85 to 90 miles and hour trying to catch up with this object. The object left the highway, and I pulled over on the road and I was very shaken. If I were to drive that road again, I probably would remember the white house on the road that seemed to be a farm.

The object was parked in front of that house. I got to my home that night, and told my husband what I had seen that night. He laughed at me,and even when I drew him a picture, he didn't believe me.

I am 55 years old now, and soon will be 56. If you were to give me sodium amytal, I would garantee you that I could create the same image that was given to me those many years ago. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Big as a house & made no sound It occured in far north Durham county, after leaving some friends @ a closed down old race track late @ night. They made a left & I made a right, after traveling only a short distance, maybe 3-5 miles I noticed the object to my north moving very slowly & horizontaly. To my right was a large pasture surounded by tall pine trees, the road was a small 2 lane black top.

It moved from the north traveling south where it passed over the road approx. 1/8 of a mile ahead of me. It was pitch black & no around but me, it was so bright my head lights were washed out & lit up my entire car & about the size of a split level home.

There was absolutely no sound, I watched it move off to the south & out of sight. For a few mintues I sat in my car wondering what I had just seen, but to this day I have no idea. I work in the aviation field & I've never encountered an aircraft that is completely silent.

Cigar Shaped Object 30 feet above us glides over bus stop The year was 1982, and I would guess the month to be about April or May. The sighting occurred at the bus stop, and we talked about it at school that day, so I remember the reaction of my classmates and it being towards the end of the year. It was around 7 am in the morning and my sister, myself and 4 other children were waiting at the top of the drive above my house (house was down in a dip about 20 feet from the road) on the other side of the road, for our bus which would take us to school that day.

Our bus stop was the coming together of two dirt roads and also a kind of last point on the main road before the road took a bend to the right. Up the road on the other side it was flat and straight for a good half mile. A huge double row of 200 foot or more steel power lines crossed the road about half mile or more in the distance.

I could see the tops of the lines from the bus stop. I think we were all standing there kinda sleepy, like no talking, when I happened to glance up the road and noticed a bright red light on the power lines. It sat there a few seconds, and then left the lines and started following the road in our direction.

There were no other cars or people out just us. I don't remember seeing the red light after it left the lines and I could barely make out a cigar shaped object. Eventually it arrived over our heads, about 30 or so feet.

It was really close. It didn't take long to cover the distance down the road, but when it reached the bus stop, it almost stopped and began slowly inching along with the side of the object facing us. At that point, it began to move off the road towards the tree line behind our house.

I remember it being just at the top of the trees behind our house and disappearing over the tree line. That would have been correct because our house/treeline was much lower than our bus stop on top of the hill. The object was grey to bluish grey, cigar shaped or kinda oblong cigar shaped.

I remember seeing a kinda window on the side up on the end and I had a creepy feeling like something was staring/checking us out. Don't know how to explain that. The object made no sound.

that was the thing that even as a kid you knew was not correct, not natural. It glided along on a straight perfect line as if on a track. The other kids watched as it glided by, and I ran down the hill to my house, looking up and watching it as it passed over our house and into the tree line.

Round object hovering in sky then in a zig zag motion dissapering My mother was reterning home from a church meeting when she spotted what she thought was a UFO.She whached it a while then decided to come get us.She franticly rushed my father,sister and me to the car.

To her disbelief the object was still there.I saw a round light about the same lightness and size of the moon hovering above a feild app.400feet above the ground.

I notice it made no noise and was staying exactly still. After about 10 min. it moved directly over us and sat another 5 min.

I was scared because I knew this was not swamp gas or any type of aircraft because it was to together and made no noise,and we where in the country 5 miles from a major highway and10 miles from a town.It then moved away from us and zig-zaged 4 times then went away in a twinkle of light.The zig-zag was fast and was perfectly shaped,about 45 degree turns with no curve so it could not have been a airplane.

And when it dissappered it was like a burst of light like on star trek when they hit warp speed. That is my story and it will stay with me forever .I'm not sold on extra-trestrials but I can,t explain what I saw.
