Since I have been reporting other Tennesseans' UFO sightings, I think it is about time to report my own sighting. And it is the only one I have ever had in my whole life. Flash back to late August or early September of 1972 in Memphis, Tennessee : I and my girlfriend had planned to witness a meteor shower that we heard in the local news was due to occur on the night in question. We took a blanket and binoculars out to my backyard in East Memphis around eight or nine o'clock and settled in for the show. And it wasn't long before I sighted "a shooting star." I saw it as fast as an eye blink arch in a white streak across the sky just like a shooting star would do, and instantly it turned a bright orange color and stopped on a dime. I immediately put my binoculars on it and was then looking right at it. It was a gun-metal gray disc (the typical flying saucer). It seemed to be no higher in the sky than a low-flying airplane. It was nervously jiggling in such a queer way that it didn't seem completely real. I don't know how else to describe it. There were no portals on it. As it was a clear, moonlit night, I got an extremely good look at it for a couple of seconds before handing my binoculars over to my girlfriend who was on my immediate left. I marvel now to think how unselfish I was to give-up my privileged vision of this thing so quickly. As soon as I did this, I could no longer see it, but my girlfriend said she got to see it through the binoculars for about a second before it simply vanished into the night.
You know, you don't often hear of UFO witnesses getting to study flying saucers through binoculars, even for only a few seconds. I can't help but wonder if this show was NOT accidental. And one other thing about this sighting that has always stood out in my mind is how the whole thing seemed animated like in a cartoon. Maybe this ocular effect was due to the fact that the force of gravity of our planet didn't touch this thing at all, that it was only obeying laws from another dimension of reality, from which it suddenly came and just as quickly departed back into.
I couldn't wait to tell some of my skeptical friends what I had seen. Not surprisingly they said with utter, smug confidence that I had seen a satellite or a helicopter, certaily not any flying saucer. But I know what I saw that night with perfect, searing clarity. There was absolutely no mistaking this for anythng other than what it was---a FLYING SAUCER! And seeing really is believing. So I say to the skeptic, "It was a saucer that I saw sir!"
