Follow-up interview reveals odd nocturnal events
In an extensive follow-up interview I did with the witness about two months after the original report was completed by our Tennessee Chief Investigator Max Mitchell, some extremely interesting new information was brought to light in this case. Max had listed this sighting report in the category of the "unknown," which I completely concur with, but in view of what happened to this witness soon after his sighting of the "Klingon" ship, I think we need to add the further assessment that this was probably also a "CE-4" event. A Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind is an encounter with beings and/or an abduction. The witness didn't think to mention what happened one week after his sighting because it didn't occur to him that this might have been in some way related to the first event.

But what happened to him seven days after his spectactular UFO sighting experience may well have been the immediate aftermath of a second visit of these otherworldly beings. He woke up about 3 AM standing outside in his underwear banging on his back door for his wife to let him in. He had no recollection of how he had gotten out there. His wife asked him what he was doing outside. In his own words, "I knew, but I couldn't tell her. Every time I would start to tell her, my mind would just go blank. It was very frustrating! I would say, "I'm..." and that would be it. I couldn't remember. That happened to me one more time about week later. Same thing, about 3 in the morning---I couldn't remember why I was even outside. I've never been a sleepwalker...maybe that's what I did but never before and never after those two times within a week."
Those familiar with abduction research would have noted that the time was around 3 AM when the witness suddenly woke up locked outside his house in a state of total confusion as to how and why he had gotten out there. The hour of 3 AM seems to be a common time for alien visits.
In my follow-up interview, I got more details about his neighbors who had told him about the flying saucers landing in his woods. "My neighbors next door [about a quarter of a mile away is "next door" here!]---when my wife and I moved into our house---helped us do a lot of things...the older brother in their family kept telling me there were UFOs landing in the woods behind my house." [Of interest here is that these woods about a thousand feet to the rear of his house are close to some high-power lines. UFOs are often seem in proximity to these.] This neighbor, who had apparently actually seen strange craft landing close to these high-power lines, had said that he was going to take his gun out there at night to hunt these things! Whether he followed through or not on this folly, we do not know.
Another possibly relevant fact that emerged in my follow-up interview is that the witness lives about 20 miles south of Oak Ridge Labs Complex of K-25, Y-12, and X-10 and about 26 miles north of Watts Bar Dam and Nuclear Generating Station.* It looks like this guy lives at the center of some kind of high-voltage, nuclear hotspot. Being a high-energy area like this, located in a remote rural spot far from public view, might explain why UFOs would "cling-on" to this place.
By the way, there were no strange marks on the witness's body after his episode of being unaccountably locked outside his house in his underwear. Enough said! Obviously this case bears watching. I may be doing a major update on this most untypical "Klingon" ship sighting case before long.
*[Lab K-25 is where Uranium was enriched through a gaseous diffusion process and is now being decommissioned and decomtaminated. Y--12 was originally used for electromagnetic separation of Uranium and is still in use for nuclear weapons processing and materials storage. X-10 is the site of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This whole Oak Ridge complex is a very high security area , sometmes referred to as "the Secret City." Watts Bar Nuclear Generating Station is a TVA Nuclear Reactor used for electrical power generation and Tritium production for nuclear weapons. Sound like a hot location?]
