| Nashville, Tennessee 1967, (no time given) I'm a respected police lieutenant and don't plan to disclose my true identity for the fear of ridicule of something that happened to me in 1967, at age 17. I'm writing this because after all these years I have never spoken to anyone, not even my wife about this, and felt it was time to say it or forever hold my peace. I as traveling on a very dark roadway just outside of Nashville, Ga. and was riding with two other friends when the event took place. I was closest to the passenger window and a friend of mine was sitting in the middle. The driver never saw what we did because he was concentrating on driving and the fact that the whole event didn't last no more than 5 to 10 seconds. I saw it first and it was three objects flying in a "V" formation and approx. at tree top level. They were approx. at 2 o'clock position and moving to the right. I touched my friend to get his attention, and he simply stared in amazement until they were gone. They were egg shaped and each approx. the size of a house. They gave absolutely no sound other than an errie glow that seemed to pulsate. the electrical system of the vehicle we were in was not effected, like I had others say had happened. Nothing until they were gone and that memory has never left me. I tried to talk to my friend about this the next day but he simply said he didn't want to talk about it, so I left him alone about it since. That has been 33 years since that event and this is the first time I have ever spoken a word of this to anyone. Respectfully, "Just the Truth" Add On To This Story: I wanted to add my experience to your post because I felt it was fitting. When I was a teenager, I too looked up in the sky one night and saw something I was not familiar with. It had beautiful lights.....pink, light blue, yellow and green. I wasn't alone; everyone I was with saw it. we didn't talk about it, but I knew in my heart that what I saw was something other than from this earth. the next day in the newspaper there was an article stating many people in the area spotted a UFO. I'm happy I did experience that, but it makes me feel even better that I wasn't alone. people that don't believe try to make you feel like your crazy, when in fact, you know that your not.

Tennessee July 30, 2000, 3:30 AM During the very early morning hours of Sunday, July 30th (around 3:30 AM) a friend and I were returning from a day trip we had taken with two other friends. After dropping the other two at their respective homes, I decided to recline in the passenger seat for the duration of the ride to the rural neighborhood where I live. My fatigue didn't hinder the advent of engaging in a serious conversation with my friend that had voluntarily driven the entire route of our day out. Of course, it would have been rude to nod out on my buddy on this last leg of an eventful day. And besides he and I hadn't had a better opportunity to share local gossip. The sunroof was wide open to enjoy the cool crisp morning air, quite a relief from the miserable humidity suffered during the previous few days. We arrived at my home around 3:30, and I remained reclined while my friend concluded an anecdote involving one of the people we had just spent the day with. From my comfy pot in the passenger seat I continued to stare up through the sunroof as I had done during our entire foray down the winding country roads that lead to my driveway. My friend turned off the ignition. As I continued listening to him talk, there suddenly appeared in my field of vision traveling in a westerly direction, a small illuminated dot in the sky that could easily have been mistaken for a star had it not been traveling at an extremely high rate of speed. Certainly it was going too fast for any type of (human transporting) commercial plane and was going too slow to be a meteorite. "Do you see that ! ?" I exclaimed, interrupting him. "Yea, I see it !" he said apathetically, indicating he hadn't even looked up. "No, really, look now, look now, now, now !" I exclaimed, approaching hysterics, "right there !" And as I pointed to the sky (never taking my eyes off the object), It decreased its speed to an absolute halt within fractions of a second, and just as my friend looked up to see what had caused this reaction in me, the light "winked out" into nothing. I muttered an expletive that indicated my disappointment and amazement. "Well, what ?" my friend asked. "You just keep talking, I am not taking my eyes off of that spot in the sky right there !" I said as I pointed to the area amongst the sky's blanket of twinkling stars where this light had just disappeared (which, oddly enough, was directly over the car, yet obviously miles and miles up in the sky). And just as I brought my arm back in through the car's roof, and my friend's attention was focused in the same general area as mine, the light I had seen suddenly shone very brightly for a moment and then began traveling in a southerly direction at an intense rate of speed. We both watched it travel away into the distance, and I'm certain we must have looked like two idiots with both heads poking out of the sunroof craning our necks to see this phenomenon until it was out of view.

Respectfully, "Just the Truth" TENNESSEE DOUBLE SIGHTING WEST PALM BEACH PLANETARIUM -- Susan Cerdan writes she has learned of a sighting and a possible new supporter or believer. I got a call from a man who says he does not believe in UFOs, but on June 12, 2001, he saw two objects that might qualify as UFOs. Apparently, the International Space Station was to make a pass over Middle Tennessee late in the evening - after 10:30 PM. At 10:50 PM, a "light," that was considerably brighter than the space station, appeared about 45 degrees above the eastern horizon moving westward. It was moving slowly and was visible for 3 or 4 minutes. It caught his attention because it would be bright for 10 seconds and then dim for 5 seconds. It was moving slow enough that he was able to observe it through his small telescope. He says, "It looked like a very bright star and that it was definitely NOT an airplane. To top it off, it reached a certain height and then made a 90-degree turn to the north where it dimmed once or twice more before fading from view. He and his son were discussing what it might have been when what appeared to be a meteor appeared high overhead in the west, traveling downward toward the eastern horizon. It was visible for 5 to 7 seconds. Of course, this was no "normal" meteor. It was blinking off and on like someone flipping a light switch off and on. I have had no reports of unusual sightings.

Webmaster Chuck Warren http://www.filersfiles.com Tennessee What my daughter and I saw in the sky Last night, when my 4 yr old daughter and I were going to bed very late, I took off my glasses and happened to look up. Being blind without them, I saw these lights flashing around. So, I put them on and stared at these lights.There were four visible and a fifth I later noticed. They were small lights that were circling in four different directions, randomly but at the same time, calculated, and they seemed to join together every few minutes. They were moving faster than anything I'd every seen and they would shoot out from this joining point in which all four touched but like magnums were propelled and shot out differently each time. One ball might circle the same four times and the next it would shoot out straight from this joining spot. Not only that but my daughter and I watched it for about twenty minutes and it was moving. The joining spot in the beginning was behind the tallest tree across the street from me. I could not tell what was going on, but soon it moved up till we could see it directly over the tree top and could see these lights joining. These lights didn't brighten the sky either, they just streaked along almost invisibly, unless you looked closely. Once they moved up, the light began to move back till we couldn't see it joining. Then it moved up again. Each time it moved these lights had joined maybe like five to six times. The last time they came into clear view, although still hidden by trees and not as clear as the first time, I began to see that the lights were getting weaker. They were not as bright and the light they created when joined was not as bright. It seemed as if they were slowing down. This went on for awhile before I had to get up from bed and as soon as did, I looked out the window and it was gone. I came back and looked out the window and the sky was completely clear. The rate of speed was incredible and the randomness yet design of it. They were lights that made no shadow in the sky, no streaks, no nothing. By the way, I live in Tennessee, I used to live out west and saw many, many things out there. I guess the isolation and mountains is perfect for activity in the sky here. Trice |
