1978 - Tyler Texas - One In A Million Million UFO Sighting

You gotta love this MUFON report received on 7/15/14 - about an event at a Drive In Movie Theater seen by everyone - and even video(filmed) taped - that involved the government and more.... well, read it yourself:
UFO overflew drive in theater at very low altitude
http://mufoncms.com/cgi-bin/report_handler.pl?req=view_long_desc&id=58077

Our family was at the Rose Garden drive in theater in the 1970's to see Swiss Family Robinson.I noticed a light in the sky above all the other normal city lights and alerted my wife to it. At first it was considerable distance from the theater but very visible in the sky.I pondered what it could possible be because I knew there were no towers or other structures that height in that part of the city.At first I chalked it off to the only other possibility-a chopper.But I could see no other red or green lights.Only white and it wasn't projecting any type of downward beam.It continued to approach the theater lot at a slow pace and I became really puzzled.Then it got really close and came in over the top of the big theater screen and literally stopped over the lot and just sat there.I had been in tons of choppers in Nam and knew it wasn't that.It was round and emitted what I would equate to the soft white glow a frosted light bulb produces.Everybody was out of their respective vehicles and just staring up totally mesmerized.The craft made not an iota of sound and just sat there at what I would estimate to be at no more than 100-150 ft.above the ground.I was in no way afraid just intrigued to the 10th power.After a minute or two it left.and when I say LEFT-first it changed to red then to green (the whole ship) and then traveled due east over the city of Tyler,Tx. The only thing I can even remotely equate it's exit speed to is remembering the zillions of 50cal. traced rounds I have seen fired from machine guns in Nam.I mean this craft went from where we were, in the extreme eastern part of Tyler on Hwy64,to the extreme western limits of Tyler in an absolute nano-second.Just like the human eye can trace a tracer round as it travels down range at warp speed.Not only did everyone at the Rose Garden Drive In see it but so did apparently many other folks from all over the city because KLTV and the radio stations were jammed. AND my old chemistry teacher at TJC, Mrs. Bsrgram got it on film. She and her hubby are amateur astronomers who built an elevated observation deck on to the back of their home complete with telescopes and special through the lens cameras.Right after this event I called her and she was still ecstatic saying she got many up close photos of the craft.She lives very near TJC which is, perhaps 1/2 mile from the old drive in.Somebody from some GOVERNMENT AGENCY wanted to see them and they were NEVER returned.Her request to get them back were to no avail and she was livid.I have had other sightings at sea plus a fly over of six craft over our home at fairly low altitude but,this warm summer encounter was super close and one of a million million.

========================================================================

Doing a bit of legwork - Nothing Was Found when I search Google for other folks who ever reported this - but only found this account on the front page (the movie theater did exist BTW)

===============================

Oh, I then searched KLTV UFO on Google and you'd think that would kick up a famous Drive In Movie Theater UFO - but it only kicked up this 1978 UFO Report. Then I searched KLTV itself and got the Same Report. Although there was this report possibly from Tyler in 1979 which makes for an interesting read and what the guy claims.

-----------------------------------------------------

My search of the NUFORC Database For Texas found NOTHING for Tyler in the late 70's.

=================================

So, a bit of legwork doesn't find anything to support this great reading UFO report - a great READ already reposted by the FIVE sites below at the minimum

UFO Stalker

UFONEDERLAND

UFOlogy Press

The Daily Saucer

The News Locker

I also saw the story already on UFO Forums too. Oh, one more time I searched for TJC - and Tyler indeed has a Jr. College - and about that Chemistry teacher who had the pictures taken? Well, that was over 35 years ago - the present staff is below:

• American Chemical Society Salary Survey

Our Faculty

You can link to faculty biographies on the right hand side.

• Mr. Larry Cook
• Dr. Byron Howell
• Dr. David Hyatt
• Mr. Robert Root
• Dr. James Rozell
• Dr. Idalia Trent
• Mr. Rodney Whetzel

So, I then sent an e-mail to the head of the Chemistry Dept to see if this was ever a teacher at TJC.

I never got a reply.

Red, Hovering, And Silent - New Hampshire Person Has Another UFO Experience (MUFON Reports)

11/25/13 Berlin New Hampshire MUFON Report

(reported 12/8)

it was 6:00 p.m. time to walk our dog behind our apartment . my wife and i started down our driveway and when got out back she noticed it first and when she pointed it out to me i was stunned. very close overhead this brilliant red star just hovered above us not making a sound. i observed it for about 10 seconds at which time it started assending slowly. i started screaming for my daughter and ran inside my apartment to get my camcorder.when i returned out back it was still visable but not bright enough to record. i have seen and recorded both day and night several strange sightings since moving to this area twito years ago so i usually have my camcorder with me at all times but not this time. what ever this was it definitly was there for me to see it. it was like seeing the star of bethlehem .as amazed as i was by this it pales in comparison to a close encounter i had with two friends around 1974 in eastbridgewater, mass. when i had a sighting of a dome shaped ufo hovering nearby and was emitting sparks .the sighting lasted around 25 minutes and culminated with it going directly over our heads just above the trees.it was as big as a house and made no sound. i have had so many strange sightings in my past i feel this wont be the last time

========================================================================

One would, of course, have to include the possibility of lantern here. Cool old-time saucer perception too. As readers know, multiple UFO perceptions to the same individual are not uncommon and yes, can run in the family. Normally I will not be including such brief experiences of 10 seconds but thought that the recurrence bumped this up.

=============================================

For Example - This Person Has Seen Strange Object 3 Times In Year Near Toledo Ohio

(last sighting 12/7 reported 12/9)

red is my emphasis

Saw objects three different times 
-First was early spring 
-Second two were two weeks apart, last happened this past Saturday 

I take out trash at about 11:30pm every night. The first instance occurred late last spring. I looked up, and saw an outline of an extremely large triangular object with six round white lights on the bottom, moving north with no sound at all. It wasnt moving fast. The second two were about two weeks apart in time, but were the same object. The first time I thought it was a very large piece of plastic rolling along with the wind. But I thought that was strange as it was moving at a high rate of speed. These were both very similar, and spotted both moving the same path from north to south. 

1. At home outside. 
2. Looked up at sky, no cloud cover with all three, and first was almost directly overhead. 
3. First object I have no idea. It was in a shape of a triangle, black with six round white lights. Second two, the first time I thought it was a very long rolled up piece of plastic, but it was moving faster than a jet would travel, which I thought was strange. The second time it was brighter, moving the same rate of speed in the same direction, and then just disappeared. There was no sound with any of these objects. 
4. First object I saw was moving north, almost overhead, with six lights. Second two were moving south. 
5. First object I became very numb, with chills going down my spine. The object was about 1000ft almost directly above me. I still get chills thinking about it because it was extremely large, about the size of a 757, with no sound at all. The second two I am still confused about. 
6. All eventually disappeared.

==============================================================

Almost, sounds a bit like the Virgie Scroll or even the Google Loon. Certainly fits within the Neighborhood UFO motif.
