Orange
hovering object chased by Air Force jets
On this hot summer night I went out on the porch to sit
in the swing. As I was swinging I thought I noticed a
falling
star and stopped the swing. The firey ball stopped
dead
in the sky.
I got up to look at it... mesmerized. Then it began making
wide horizontal swaths in the sky. At first
it
moved very slowly and methodically it seemed.
And
then it would just hover.
Soon I noticed two fighting jets come from the direction of
Jackson Air Force base toward the object. The object
then
rapidly flew away in a steep angle and disappeared.
I didn't report it then because of the derision heaped upon
people at that time.
The irony is that I was visiting Little Rock from Chicago
where I worked at Northwestern University
in
the English Dept. and as a side job I would type
papers
for Astronomy professors. Dr. Hynek (Sp.)
was
very much thought of as a wild canon at the
time
so I never told anyone of my experience.
I have a MS degree. I am retired now. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident
is approximate. PD))
