1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,560 I see. Okay now, would you care to give us a complete description of everything that 2 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,440 happened right from the beginning? 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:21,440 All right. We were coming home and we noticed this real bright light and at first we thought 4 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:28,640 well maybe it was either a helicopter or an airplane. And then we kept watching it and 5 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,320 realized that it was too low for an airplane or a helicopter. And then pretty quick it 6 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:40,360 would shoot off right out in front of us and go to the tech and then it would slow down 7 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:46,600 as if it was really waiting on us to catch up to it. And then it would light up on us 8 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:52,400 and we could see the base of it. We could see the shape of it that it was round. And 9 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,840 it looked like it had two antennas sticking out from each side of it. And it followed 10 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,840 us all the way about 11 miles until we got home. And then when we came in the house we 11 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,040 looked our folks up and it kind of landed, you know, well it didn't land but I mean it 12 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,960 was in the middle, right up above the folks house here. They saw it too. 13 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,120 Okay. How close did that come to the house? Do you have any idea? 14 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,560 Oh Lord, I don't know. Really? About a half a block. 15 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,560 I see. 16 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,560 You know, up in the air. 17 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:34,480 Uh-huh. Okay, now when you were, when you first spotted this, did the object just swoop 18 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,480 down out of the sky? 19 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,980 Yeah, it looked like it just had come from nowhere. 20 00:01:37,980 --> 00:01:40,680 And they just pulled down in front of you or to the right or left? 21 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,840 Well, it was to the left of me. I was driving and it was to my left. 22 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,840 Did it stay to the left at all times? 23 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,840 Yeah, all the time it was to my left. 24 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,040 And it followed you at home in that position all the time? 25 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Right. 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,040 Okay. And did this object change color at any time in its flight? 27 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,920 Yeah, it was blue. And then it would kind of, really it would be a real bright color, 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,920 like a yellow. 29 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,920 Uh-huh. 30 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,920 And then it would turn back into a blue color. 31 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:10,520 Did these changes in color seem to correlate in any way with the change of speed? 32 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,520 Yeah, right. When it would go faster, it was brighter. 33 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,520 I see, okay. 34 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,520 And then when it would slow down, it was, you know, a little dull in color. And like 35 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,120 I said, it seemed like, you know, like, it would dim your lights on a car. But they were 36 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:29,200 dim in their lights, but only the base, the bottom of it would light up to a blue color. 37 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,200 Okay. Now you said you could see the bottom. Was there any indication that what you were 38 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,200 looking at was a metallic object? 39 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200 Oh, no. Uh-uh. 40 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,200 You could see it that well. 41 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,200 No. Uh-uh. 42 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Okay. Did the light around the object happen to light up the area around, say the roadway 43 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,200 or the, uh... 44 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,200 Well, it, you know, it lit up right in the air there. It seemed like the sky brightened 45 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,280 up some. 46 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,280 I see. Okay. And did you by any chance hear any sound? 47 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,280 No, no sound. 48 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,280 Okay. And about what altitude was this object, as it followed you, did it maintain about 49 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,280 the same altitude? 50 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Well, yeah, really, I guess it did. Because all the way in, it was about the same altitude. 51 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,280 But like I said, it would take up off into a higher speed. And it would come right back 52 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,360 now into what altitude it was about, following this all the way. 53 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,360 Uh-uh. In other words, it was kind of playing tag with you all the way. 54 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,360 Yeah. Right. That's what we figured. 55 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,360 Uh-uh. 56 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,360 It scared us both. 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,360 It scared you both pretty bad? 58 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:33,360 Yeah. Right. 59 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,360 Okay. Have you had any ill effects from this? 60 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,360 No. Uh-uh. 61 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:43,360 Okay. About how long did you watch it? 62 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,360 That was about a 10 mile trip, you said? 63 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,360 Yeah. Right. 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,440 So about 30 minutes. 65 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440 About 30 minutes, okay. 66 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,440 And you say that you thought you could see what would be two antennas? 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,440 Yeah. Sticking on, you know, on each side of it. 68 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,440 Okay. And that was all the appendages you could see? 69 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,440 Yeah. Right. 70 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Okay. Were you playing your car radio at the time? 71 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,440 No. Uh-uh. Because the radio in the car doesn't work, but we were playing our tape deck. 72 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,520 Oh, did you have any interference on that? 73 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:23,520 There was some static, but we figured it might be the power lines that we were following. 74 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,520 Oh, I see. Well, there were big power lines in the area? 75 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,520 Yeah. 76 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,520 Well, are these the high transmission lines? 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,520 No. Uh-uh. 78 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520 Well, this is just the standard voltage for rural areas. 79 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,520 Yeah. Okay. 80 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,520 Did that object appear to follow those lines? 81 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,520 No. It didn't. It stayed mostly by the hill areas. 82 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,520 In fact, one time we thought it was going to run into a hill. 83 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:50,520 I see. Okay. And did it make any close passes at you during this period? 84 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,520 No. Uh-uh. It didn't come real close to us. 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,520 No. Like I said, we were on the highway, and it was off to the left of us on the hill. 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,520 It stayed right mostly right in the hill areas. 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,520 Okay. Now, when this object was hovering over the house, how long did it remain there? 88 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:11,520 Well, we don't really know. I know when we got home, it was about quarter to eleven, 89 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:18,520 when we got home. We stayed up until midnight and watched it, and it hovered around the area until then. 90 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,520 And then it took off. So it's about an hour. 91 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Okay. Now, when you say it took off, which direction did it go in? 92 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Well, it took off to the rest of us. 93 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520 Okay. Did that move it a pretty good clip? 94 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,520 Yeah, because we couldn't see it anymore. 95 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520 Okay. 96 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,520 Have you seen anything in the area or heard of anything being seen since? 97 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,520 No, we sure haven't. 98 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,520 Do you know if there were any other witnesses to this? 99 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,520 Just others and my parents. 100 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,520 I see. Okay. How old are you, Pat? 101 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,520 I'm twenty-six. 102 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,520 Twenty-six. And how old was Betty? 103 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,520 Seventeen. 104 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Seventeen. 105 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,520 If we send you a questionnaire, would you consider filling it out for us? 106 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:04,520 I sure will. 107 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,520 Okay. Well, just how impressed were you about what you saw? 108 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:14,520 I was scared to death. I really was. I just didn't know what to believe, what it was. 109 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,520 And that's the only thing we could come up with, was the UFO. 110 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,520 Had you believed in those before? 111 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:21,520 No. 112 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,520 I see. 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,520 I sure didn't. 114 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,520 Well, you might be interested in knowing that with our research, we found that about 99% of the people who have these close encounter experiences are die-hard non-believers. 115 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,520 No, is that right? 116 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,520 I believe it. 117 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,520 Would you believe that you were, or did you ever have the feeling that you were selected for that experience? 118 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,520 No, I sure did. 119 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,520 Okay. 120 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,520 At any time while that object was pacing you, did it crisscross the highway? 121 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,520 Yes, right. It did. 122 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:54,520 It sure did. It went right over the, you know, front of us and then it went right back toward our left. 123 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,520 I see. Okay. 124 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,520 Well, we sure appreciate your calling, Nelson. If we need additional information, could we get back to you? 125 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,520 You bet, yeah. 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,520 Okay. Thank you very much. 127 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,520 You're quite welcome. Bye. 128 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,520 Bye-bye.
