9/3/65a - Deputy Sheriffs Bob Goode and Billy McCoy, Damon TX, evening
| Report Summary | Returning from a night football game, the two officers were passing through Damon when they noticed some lights to their right. The lights moved upward. The officers tried to get close to the lights, and lost sight of them until the lights approached their vehicle across the prairie. There was a bright pulsating purple light stationary above the horizon (which was several miles away). A second light, blue, moved away from the first light and hovered not far away. They saw no solid object until it the lights approached. "It was about telephone pole high, maybe 100 feet... it looked like a football field. I mean, the shadow it threw was like a football field. I couldn't see any windows or portholes or anything... The inside of our patrol car was a brilliant light. We estimated the thing was 200 feet wide... It was a dark grey-looking object." Deputy Goode's hand was outside the car window and he could feel heat from the object. The object moved rapidly back to where they first saw it, and then shot vertically into the sky.[footnote 1] |
| Hynek Classification | CE-II |
| Original Vallee Classification | Type Id |
| Current Vallee Classification | CE5 |
| Minimum Distance | 100 feet |
| Object Appearance | Semi-triangular grey mass with large luminous cylinders at the end of each wing. |
| Object Behavior | Wandering, zoomed in on vehicle, returned to initial position, departed vertically |
| Physical Effect | Heat |
| Medical Effect | Goode's hand, which had been bitten by an alligator several days before, had stopped hurting, and when the bandage was removed, the injury was completely healed. |
| Comments / Conclusion | Healing also occurs in the Dr. X case. Radiation could have killed any infection, but the speeding of healing is not a known property of UV, IR or other EM radiation. Despite proximity, there was no vehicle interference or eye irritation. This event occurred on the same night as the Exeter case, though probably later in the evening. |
