I have decided to detail my UFO sightings which I have experienced over the years.

Date: Summer 1965
Location: Olla, Louisiana
Weather: Clear
Duration: 10 minutes
Sighting: My two brothers and I used to lay out in the backyard or on asphalt road that ran by our rural home. We would lay there and watch the stars on a clear night, waiting and hoping to see a satellite fly across the star-filled night sky. Satellites were a fairly new thing back in those days, so seeing one was very exciting. And we had seen them on several occasions, small points of light travelling slowly from one horizon to the other. However, on one particular night, we witnessed something that would change the way we perceived humanities place in the universe and our belief in extraterrestrial life. At about the same moment, we all noticed one particular bright star was moving. This was very exciting, as we thought it might be a satellite. But the object or point of light did not behave as we would expect a satellite to behave. Perhaps it was a plane high in the atmosphere? Could it be a U2 spy plane? This object did not behave like any aircraft that we had ever heard of. It moved at incredible speeds across the night sky, almost in a jerky motion. The object would make 45 and 90 degree turns with no apparent slowing. It would traverse the entire horizon in less than a second making these incredible turns.
Needless to say, we were completely in awe and amazement. Since that night I have been a firm believer that beings of far superior intelligence are visiting this planet.


Date: Fall 1976
Location: Near Cut-N-Shoot, Texas (yes, this place exists)
Weather: Clear
Duration: 5 seconds
Sighting: I was travelling to my place of business where I also resided. It was around 1:00 A.M. on a clear cool autumn night. I was driving and a friend was asleep in the passenger seat. There was no traffic at all on Texas Highway 105 as I headed east bound. The road is a small two lane blacktop with tall pines trees on each side. I was rather sleepy and was anxious to get home to my bed. Then suddenly, all the hairs on my body stood up on end, like static electricity would do to a person. I got the strangest sensation and without knowing why, I leaned forward and peered up through the windsheild. What I saw was a large ball of fire. This object must have been 50+ feet in diameter and glowing reddish-orange. It was moving parallel to and approxiamately 20 to 30 feet above the tops of the trees. It moved quietly and slowly. Since I was right underneath the object, I don't know if it had any other shape to it. It was gone almost as soon as it had appeared. I continued travelling and reached my house about five minutes later. However, my watch and the clock in the house showed that it was 3:45 A.M. So I had lost approxiamately one hour and forty-five minutes. I tried to wake my friend to tell him all about the object I had seen and suggest that we go look for it. But he was too sleepy and so was I.

Responses are welcome. I believe everything I have said here to be the truth and factual as I know it. If you do not believe in UFO's or alien craft, fine, that is your opinion and I do not really care to hear about it. Obviously, you were interested in the subject or you would not be reading this testimony. I can only hope that someone else may have had similiar experiences and may find comfort in knowing that they are not alone with their own sightings.
