1976 Cumberland City Tennessee - Strange Craft With Later Confirmation

A multiple witness event - all this was reported to MUFON on 7/21/14

My girl friend at the time (my future wife) had gone parking in the country within view of the TVA Cumberland City power plant. It was a field next to a creek that I had been to many times. We had been there about 30 minutes and I got out of the car for a minute. When I got back in, a large black sphere with 3 very intense orange lights at the edges equally spaced was hovering silently above a large tree directly in front of us about 800 ft away. At first I thought it might be a balloon or something from the 101st Airborne, located nearby, but it made no sound and just did not appear to be anything like I had ever seen before. I asked the person with me where it came from and she said that it appeared first as a distant light that almost immediately became the huge object in front of us and did not make a sound (I got out just to confirm this and there was total silence). It then slowly sit down behind this large tree and I will never forget the intensity of the three orange lights shining through the tree leaves was like the sun. It stayed there for a few minutes and then rose above the tree and not long after that emitted a bright orange ball of light towards the power plant. I say emitted but it was difficult to tell if the ball of energy was coming from the craft or coming from the power plant to the craft. After about thirty minutes another light on the ground some distance from the craft appeared in the woods - it was a bright white glowing light that would periodically emit a bright flash. In about another thirty minutes, another light appeared in another part of the woods but it was a spotlight like light that appeared to be searching the trees and area close to the craft. We sat there for some time and I thought about leaving the car and going to get as close as I could but I was concerned for the safety of my girlfriend. We thought about leaving and going to get someone to come see but we figured that it would be gone before we returned. Craft was as large as the tree it sat behind and hovered over, with a black surface that did not reflect the very bright orange lights on it's edges. When it sat down it was like the sphere rotated but the lights stayed on the outside edges. It also appeared to have some sort of windows or something above the equator of the sphere but I could not make out if there was anyone. What is going to sound crazy is that both of us could feel that they did not want us to worry about their presence and we should just go ahead and act normal. We were never scared or frightened during the event and it was like they were communicating with us in some way to reassure us. It is hard to explain this and also the loss of time that we seemed to experience - I think that I took her home late but I was unsure of the time next day and I was and still am unsure how long the event lasted and have often wondered if hypnosis would reveal more about the event. I just remember that the next day I was very mad at myself for leaving without investigating further or staying longer - I was into photography and could have gotten a camera and come back but it was like we had lost free will and I am unsure when we left but all of the lights and the object was still there when we did finally leave and seemed to be in no hurry to leave. It was like we were just following directions to leave and go home and don't worry about it. We had plenty of time to leave and return with others but we did not and I still cannot explain why. It was an amazing experience that we learned very quickly not to tell anyone about as the ridicule from others was very cruel and no-one believed us until I was telling my sister in law about it and she about fainted and told me that her cousin, who lived near the TVA New Johnsonville power plant had seen this very same object just a couple of days after this. I also found out about a person who was driving on the same road next to the field that night who had almost wrecked his truck trying to avoid some kind of creature in the road.

This blog is called Strange UFO Stories for a reason - multiple Orbs/UFOs - interacting with each other AND a power plant - and the humans observing them.... with distorted consciousness, loss of free will and time, and with confirmation from non-witnesses (time-frame craft and creature). A Strange UFO story indeed.

1998 - Deltona Florida - Sitting In A Beam Of Light

This is from the most recent MUFON reports of February 22nd 2015 - From The Latest MUFON Reports

A friend and I were sitting outside on this night talking. A light was projected around me as a perfect circle and did not move for a minute or so. This light had edges that were perfectly sharp and unmoveing. The light then wobbled a little and started to travel away from my friend and I. we watched it travel across the grass and across some trees. This beam was not wobbly and moved very slowly. it then slowly receded into sky were we seen a craft projecting the light, it did no move at all. It was like a long florescent light bulb in the sky. We observed this lighted craft for a couple of minutes, then it suddenly and very very quickly either flew away from us or turned off light. It was an amazing sight. My friend who I'm still in contact with still to this day can not explain what he witnessed with me. We are both still trying to come to terms with what was in the sky that night.Also street lights after the craft disappeared started to flicker and some shut off completely very strangely.

1982 - Light Follows Car In Middle Of Night, Sends Down Probe - THAT IS TOUCHED!

A wow `strange report from MUFON on 11/6 about an event that happened to two brothers over 30 years ago. Hyper Strange.
red is my emphasis

Avon Minnesota - Orb Flashes Back

My brother and I were traveling south east on interstate 94 at around 4am back in June 1982 about 20 east of Saint cloud. We noticed a light following along side us i flashed the headlights 3 times it flashed back 3 times. my brother said they want to talk to us. We pulled of the interstate heading south on a tar we turned on a gravel and there were heavy trees on each side of the road we came out of the trees and there it was hovering up in the sky.It was round disc shaped with different colored lights flashing! It seemed to be a few hundred feet off the ground. we got out and looked at it. A smaller ball shaped craft surrounded by a cloud came down to the car by us my brother tried to touch it I felt like it x-ray me after a few minutes the ball went back into the ship and it took off into space. We haven't said anything about this for years people just laugh at you anyway. but this really happened and it would be interesting to here what we would say under hypnosis..

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

Short URL to this page: www.tjc.edu/chemistry

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.

Elaborate Hoax? A Parallel Reality? A Hallucination?

2000 - 12 Year Old Sees Football Shaped Wobbling Craft From 100 Feet Away (MUFON Report)

Pretty good account... except how in the world does he not go into the size of the craft? And, if he was 12 he knows the approx year, right?

Maineville Ohio Neighborhood UFO

Unfortunately my dates and times are not accurate. This was about 15 years ago, however this event has profoundly changed my opinion of what reality on earth may be. I never got around to reporting it, because at that time, hell, I was only 12. I was sitting in the driveway waiting for my mom to take me to hockey practice I'm the afternoon sometime. Suddenly out of my right eye I feel a flash of light(may have been reflecting the sun). I glance over and I see a solid black/gray football shaped craft emerging from the woods and rocking while banking towards the next group of wooded area. From where I was sitting the craft was less than 100 feet away from me in broad daylight and clear skies. It appeared like a football on its side with the top and bottom hemispheres slightly off center. It had what almost looked like black corrugated tubing stretching from front to back of the craft. Another part about the instance that I have to express is the movement of the craft. As soon as the bright flash happened I'm not sure if the being controlling the craft was startled or lost control, but the way how it rocked while it was banking made me believe that whatever piloting it had an "oh crap" moment. If there was a person inside it, surely it would have vomited from the rocking. Maybe it was autonomous. That's the only reason why I bring up the movement. It may have been some sort of drone. Ours? Maybe. It had no wings or visible engine and was absolutely silent. Maineville used to be pretty rural at that time, it headed towards what used to be a farm. I only saw it for about 30 seconds but the 30 seconds has been burned into my head for quite some time. I wish I had accurate time and dates. Maybe someone else saw this. I've never seen any other ufo report about anything like what I saw. Trust me since I was 12 I've been obsessed with this. I've researched everywhere and watched countless videos trying to find a match of what I saw, which now leads me to reaching out to others. I know what I saw. I saw it close and in broad daylight. You can't tell me it was a blimp, it was less than 100 feet away from me. This was real. If a sketch is needed, I'll do my best.

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

No sketch was submitted - I can't really remember a `football shape' before but a small percentage of UFOs display the `falling leaf' or `rocking' phenomena.
