Large Flying Object Resting On Ground
U.S. Army Officer, Top Secret background investigation, executive & software engineer for fortune 10 corporation.
This is something I have needed to talk about for a long time.
The event happened as follows, on a clear spring day me and friend working on car, no drugs or alcohol involved, and I broke a spark plug.
We had to go into town about 7 miles away.
I lived out in a very unpopulated area next to a Boy Scout Wilderness Camp, houses are several miles apart.
On the way into town about a 1½ miles from my house.
I turned right to take the road to the highway into town and there sitting on the left side of the road, a road I drove at least twice a day for the past several years was a UFO.
We pulled up alongside and stopped, it was huge 80' across 30' high.
Color was a dark gray, not shiny but almost a dull or parkerized type finish, smooth but not shiny smooth, typical of a nitrated or titanium applied finished metal.
It was clearly saucer like with rounded edges and round viewing ports at the top.
Light smoke or steam from the grass was drifting up around the UFO.
The UFO seemed to be bathed in a glow, even tho this was around noon on a clear day.
The glow was almost ultraviolet, it seemed to be glowing around the edges.
We stopped and looked at it, it being about 30' from the truck, then we got the hell out of there.
We went down the road for about ¾ of a mile then we went back and it was gone.
We got out and there was nothing but a large depression in the grass where it had set and the ground was warm to the touch.
As the days went by, I noticed the grass died in a large round area where the UFO had sat down.
I have thought of this many times since 1964 and every once in a great while I see the guy who was with me, we have never talked about this to anyone since it happened.
But I feel its time to tell what I saw.
