1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Around three o'clock at night there's about four or five of them out and they're like

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
in different corners.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And we just, we watch them with binoculars and a lower powered microscope and stuff and

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
they're just blinking red and blue and white lights.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Are they on the move?

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Well, one time they're like up on the left hand corner and then about like about ten seconds

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
later they're all over the other side of the sky.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I don't have it actually seen them moving but they do move.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Uh huh.

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
They're pretty high up?

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Yeah, really high up.

12
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
But we've gotten binoculars and things out to look at them and all we can make out is

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,000
just the flashing colors.

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,000
I see.

15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
And they don't, they're not moving at all.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It's not airplanes and nothing, they're too high up and they're not, they're not moving

17
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
at all in one minute and then about ten minutes later all we're crossing the other side of the

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
sky.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I see well then that's moving pretty good clip anyway.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Yeah, that's what we figure out.

21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
But a lot of guys, see I work midnight shift from, you know, twelve at night to seven in

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
the morning and we see them all the time.

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,000
I see.

24
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
I see them all the time anyway and the guys I work with do too.

25
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And like they, like I said, you know, we brought binoculars and stuff and got a better look

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
at them, you know, but make out the colors real good.

27
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Right.

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
But nothing has seen a low altitude?

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
No, nothing has low altitude yet.

30
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Okay, could we get your name?

31
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Yeah, but don't send nobody out here trying to say I'm nuts or anything.

32
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Oh no.

33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
The reason why, you know, I got interested, I just made a listen to the radio and they

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
said that the Maryville police been spotting them and everything.

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
I called the police all the time and I see them and I know they've seen them because

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I see them and like one time I told them this morning, I told them go out there and

37
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
look and he saw them himself and come back in, you know, we were talking.

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Right.

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
But I, like I said, they're seeing them too.

40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Well, we sure appreciate your letting us know about this and if we get any more on it,

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
we'll get back to you and let you know.

42
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
All right, I appreciate it.

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Thank you very much.

44
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Sure.

45
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
All right.

46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Hey, you guys open 24 hours or what?

47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Around the clock.

48
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
You want me to call you sometime when I see them out?

49
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Anytime, yes sir.

50
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I don't know what you see from where you're at.

51
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Pardon?

52
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
I said I don't know if you can see them from where you're at, but where we're at we can

53
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
see them.

54
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
But there's nothing, they're never close enough to really get a good look at.

55
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
They're really up there.

56
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Yeah.

57
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Well, what we're really interested in too is if you hear of any close approaches where

58
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
they come down close to the ground.

59
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Well, I believe they'll keep my eye open.

60
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
But what I'm seeing is I'm not the only one seeing them.

61
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
There's a lot of people, it's a nice shift from the flight line to see them, you know.

62
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Everybody's trying to pass them off as whether balloons and everything.

63
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
I've checked into that and they said negative.

64
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
But I don't believe in whether balloons anyway because like I say, one time we'll be sitting

65
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
out by our section and they'll be way up the left hand side.

66
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
It's kind of the next minute, they'll be too off to the right hand side, you know.

67
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Right.

68
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
So I don't believe that stuff.

69
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
That's a pretty good distance to travel.

70
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Very quick.

71
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
You bet it is.
