Three Tennessee witnesses in Antioch driving southeast along Hamilton Church Road on August 24, 2010, pulled over for a better look after spotting a low-flying, T-shaped object in the night sky, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
They were just in time for a bird's eye view.
The UFO then flew directly overhead, allowing the family members to get an excellent look at the object's underbody.
"We saw a large T-shaped object with an approximate 20 very bright lights on it total," the reporting witness stated. "Five very bright, very big lights, with 3-5 small lights in between the larger ones."
They report that the object made no sound. The event lasted 5 minutes.
"It was completely pitch black all around the object from a few seconds before it passed over us, to a few seconds afterwards."
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man made. If Tennessee MUFON State Director Eddie Middleton investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.
TN, August 24, 2010 - perpendicular looking,"T" shaped. MUFON Case # 25183.
My mother and I were driving East to Southeast on Hamilton Church rd. intersecting Hobson pk. in Antioch,TN. We saw over the trees towards our left,a very low flying,very smooth gliding,object. We turned into the parking lot of a Citgo at the corner,and faced due North. The UFO flew entirely over the store,to where we could see the entire underside of it. We saw a large "T" shaped object with an approximate 20 very bright lights on it total. 5 very bright,very big lights,with 3-5 small lights in between the larger ones. It was about a 5 minute span from when we first made eye contact,to when it left eye sight. There was no sound,AT ALL. It was completely pitch black all around the object from a few seconds before it passed over us,to a few seconds after wards. Directly after we saw it,there were two planes,one coming from the South and the other from the East(with regular sound and visible sight of stars and moon light). There was/are no other feelings other than sheer amazement and awe. (This description is from my daughter, Kendall who was in the car with me. She tried to get her camera out of her purse and she handed it to me, it was in view but the memory card was full. I went into the gas station and told the attendant who looked at me like...and said I was lucky.
We are both very sure of what we saw. Planes do not fly so low and there was no sound at all. We were speechless. Its an hour later and my daugher is freaked out.
Also, thanks for following up with your phone calls. I had intended to call back but your number was erased from the caller list.
I guess I should also let you know that during the week of July 5, 2010, I have seen two objects in the vicinity southeast of our home (I believe in proximity of the lake area. The objects move in irregular patterns, they go up and down and zigzag, sometime moving fast, but mostly they seem to be suspended. We take a break from looking at them and when we come back they have moved to another place. (We also noticed these same type of objects during June of last year 2009 looking directly south/southwestard that moved slowly from right to left over the treeeline)

No camera????
too bad they didn't check their memory card....
I also have seen objects in the sky recently in the Nashville area which defy all known laws of physics regarding their flight characteristics.
Any aircraft travelling at over 2,000 mph and making a sharp right-angle turn without slowing down would disintegrate. Or, if piloted by a live individual, that person would be crushed by g-forces.
It is fairly well proven that nothing can travel "though space" at faster than the speed of light, however there is no such speed limit for space itself, further if the space that you are traveling in makes a right turn you would not notice, there would be no g forces. It may take awhile to rap your head around this but it is true. Einstein would agree.
I always wondered ..seriously what is the speed of "dark"
whats the point in posting an article about photos of something if you're not going to post the friggin pics! Waste of time!!!!!!!
"An article about photos?" Where did you read "photos?" They didn't take photos.
Utterly dreadful journalism to post this story WITHOUT showing the pictures, terrible.
Showing what photos? That's the utterly dreadful truth.
Lady pilots in Ufo?
Please make 1 my wife
If you read closely they claim that they "viewed" not photographed the underside of the ufo.
Erase the pictures of you dog lady and start taking shots geez! The mentioning of multiple sightings is uncharacteristic of made up accounts. This is irresponsible but worthy of investigation.
I have had close encounters for my lifetime...and once..in 2002 I found myself under a disc craft in the middle of the day while out on a boat fishing.. It was a mind blowing experience as I watched it leave at speed we cannot touch..I then became very ill from the effects of being under the craft. These people are lucky not to suffer the same.
Wake up people..this subject matter is very real..and should be dealt with with out ridicule or mockery.
Google "Taken By The greys" for my close encounters with crafts and beings.
This site is always posting articles about alleged UFO sightings with no attached photos. In this day of almost everyone having a cell phone with a camera, these articles are pointless.
The subject is pointless.......after 60+ years.....no proof, no answers.
Clarification of event. We had both camera and cell phone. Neither would work while the craft was flying over us. Only after it had passed and was just above the tree line at about the area of J .F.K. Middle School which is on Mt. View Road intersected by Hamilton Church did the camera come on as I tried to take the picture of the lights across the back of the object. As I finally got the camera to work and had the back in sight the camera read MEMORY CARD FULL-BOY DID I HAVE A FEW CHOICE WORDS. My daughter was dealing with the fact that her phone totally died and would not come on at all during the whole time. It really was something to see and was the eeriest feeling having no sound and everything around you as if it did not exist except what you saw above you, silence and the bright lights that will always replay in our minds. How I wish you all could have seen.
I do however have a comment. Look up! REALLY, LOOK UP!
