Case Description:
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Tuesday, August 25, 1992, a Durant resident called the
|
|
Oklahoma MUFON State Director at 11:30 p.m. and stated that
|
|
herself and a number of witnesses were watching a brightly lit
|
|
object to their west and had been doing so since about 11:00 that
|
|
night. She described in detail what they were seeing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first witness observed the object when he had gone to bed.
|
|
The time was 10:51 p.m. He looked out the west window of his
|
|
home which was open with the shades up.
|
|
|
|
When he first saw the object, he thought it was a plane. But
|
|
when it moved fast, from one position to another, behind a tree
|
|
to another opening between the trees, he then realized that it
|
|
was not a conventional aircraft. It moved too fast too quickly
|
|
to be an airplane.
|
|
|
|
The couple had company over, and the husband (first witness)
|
|
yelled for the others in the house to watch the object. He said
|
|
that it jumped to the right and stopped, swung like a pendulum
|
|
back and forth, and then stopped motionless.
|
|
|
|
The others came to the bedroom to see the object, then proceeded
|
|
to move outside. Witness number 2 (wife) saw the object and
|
|
described it to be about 1 1/8 inches across at arms length (a
|
|
circular oval template was used to judge the size of the object).
|
|
|
|
She saw it when it was angled towards her and saw a portion of
|
|
the bottom of the object, which was described as darker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to her statement, the object was conical with light
|
|
rays emitting down from the bottom edge. It was shaped like the
|
|
top of a bullet - pointed at the top, then extending down and
|
|
outward to form an umbrella shape, but more of a pointed umbrella
|
|
shape. It was flat on the bottom. No protrusions were noticed.
|
|
She said that she could see the shape when she looked to the side
|
|
of the object. She had glasses on and they are corrected for
|
|
nearsightedness.
|
|
|
|
Witness number 3 entered the husband's bedroom as the husband
|
|
stated" You ain't going to believe this, but this is not a star.
|
|
That is something else."
|
|
|
|
The light was moving in an erratic manner. When the husband went
|
|
outside and regained sight of the object, it appeared as a
|
|
definite conical shape. Unlike the wife's report, which stated
|
|
that the object was all white, the husband reported three colors
|
|
- blue on top, yellow in the middle and white on the lower third.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The husband's account and drawing indicated a more elongated
|
|
object with basically the same shaped top (more like an artillery
|
|
shell). His account indicates that at arms length, the object
|
|
was about 3/4 inches wide and about 1 1/8 inches tall. It is
|
|
possible that they were watching it change shape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each witness was interviewed separately.
|
|
|
|
Witness number 2 described the light emitted by the craft
|
|
resembled an inverted gas flame on a kitchen range. The bottom
|
|
was darker than the rest of the craft, but her report indicates
|
|
the object must have either been tilted slightly or was higher
|
|
when she looked at it than when witness number 3 saw the shape.
|
|
She stated it was a pendulum motion or possibly rotated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Witness number 4 stated that she was not wearing prescription
|
|
glasses at the time of the sighting, as she was required to wear
|
|
them normally, but she could see the light. She corroborated
|
|
what the others had said.
|
|
|
|
They were asked if they had read any material on UFOs, they all
|
|
replied they had not. When asked if they watched TV and seen any
|
|
of the Unsolved Mysteries, Hard Copy, etc. shows on UFOs they all
|
|
replied yes.
|
|
|
|
The witnesses were credible, each having a college background,
|
|
and had nothing to gain from the report. Based on what was said
|
|
and the statements of each person, the evidence looks reliable
|
|
and valid.
|
|
|
|
(Note: This case is similar to a case in September, 1976, that
|
|
occurred in Tehran City, Iran.)
