SUBJECT: NASHVILLE TENNESSEE SIGHTING REPORT FILE: UFO1255

|
|
CASE # 102689TN - Location: 60 miles west of Nashville on Interstate 40. Lead
|
|
Investigator: John Komar, SD. While driving from Nashville to Memphis on a
|
|
clear, sunny day, three occupants in a car noticed two very bright sun-lit
|
|
objects in the sky southwesterly from their location, at approximately 5:00
|
|
p.m. The witnesses stated the objects "were very bright as if they were
|
|
reflecting the sun." The objects, each believed to be at least 1 1/2 times
|
|
the size of the "Goodyear blimp", were stated to be approximately 1500 feet
|
|
above the ground, with one being higher than the other. The seemed to not be
|
|
moving.
|
|
|
|
Actual duration of the sighting was about five minutes. The witnesses
|
|
stopped watching the object for a moment, and when they looked again the two
|
|
objects had disappeared.
|
|
|
|
The primary witness has training as an aircraft pilot, and has been
|
|
employed by an airline company for a number of years in different locations
|
|
throughout the country. This witness firmly states that the objects he had
|
|
seen were not aircraft, helicopter, nor dirigible. No sounds were reported to
|
|
have been heard. Distance to the objects was about 3-5 miles.
|
|
|
|
There might be another witness to this sighting, or a similar craft on
|
|
around the same date. Below is a message I received from Jerry Woody, MUFON
|
|
member in Alabama. (Jerry also runs a ParaNet BBS):

Hi John;
|
|
|
|
This sounds very similar to a sighting I had in Hartselle a few months ago. I
|
|
'ran it up the pole' by writing to some Hartselle Users here on the Frontier
|
|
but nothing came of it and I dismissed it as an aircraft. Now I'm not too
|
|
sure.
|
|
The date, unfortunately, is unknown since I had dropped reporting the object
|
|
but probably occurred 2-3 months ago. Kathy was driving South on Hwy 31
|
|
through the town of Hartselle in North central Alabama. I was reading a
|
|
magazine in the passenger side when a metallic reflection directly in front of
|
|
and up caught my eye. I glanced up at it and saw a fairly small object
|
|
vigorously reflecting sunlight and shaped somewhat like a 'crooked, bent
|
|
finger'. I went back to reading when it dawned on me that something wasn't
|
|
right. It had no tail section and wasn't going quite right for a normal plane.
|
|
Too much reflection like it was rotating, spinning, etc. I looked back up just
|
|
to see the object apparently turn. The metallic reflection was replaced by a
|
|
small dark circle which in a space of 2 seconds closed in on itself and the
|
|
entire object disappeared. This occurred approximately. 3pm. Sky was sunny
|
|
with some high Cirrostratus in the Western Sky. I estimate the object height
|
|
at 2500 to 3000 feet. Jet aircraft contrails was observed at app. 10000 ft. +
|
|
where the condensation level was. This object created no contrail and was
|
|
certainly no small light plane. The object was observed for a total of perhaps
|
|
10 seconds. The sky was clear and blue in the background and when it
|
|
disappeared it left without a trace.
|
|
|
|
Jerry.
