Some follow-up questions were answered this afternoon, and here are some details: DATE: September 7, 1999 TIME: 10:15 a.m. Central Standard Time LOCATION: Gallatin, Tennessee DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: A hovering silver-colored object was spotted over a wooded area near a residential subdivision. After a 30-second duration, the object literally vanished from sight. ADDITION: Enclosed below is the original E-mail report sent by the claimant: ________________________ "I was driving to my new house in a new subdivision, when I spotted an object flying slowly about a quarter mile away. I looked at it again and noticed that it was not casting a reflection on a sunny day without any cloud cover at all. It was a bright metallic silver object, unlike any aircraft that I have ever seen. The object was moving very slowly, almost hovering over a wooded area that was being developed in this new subdivision on the north side of Gallatin, TN. "I turned off my car and got out to see if I could hear anything and make sure it wasn't a reflection in the window of my car. It was there, plain to see. "It was cylindrical in shape and moving ever so slowly. The object had absolutely no sound. Within 10 seconds, the object just disappeared from my sight-that is a good description as I don't know how else to describe how it vanished. "I am a 37 year old white male. I was the only witness to my knowledge. I am a business professional in Gallatin, TN. I do not drink much and haven't had a drink in some several weeks. I am not taking any medication. I have never reported a sighting before. Nor have I ever been treated for any psychotic or psychological disorders. You are welcomed to contact me via E-Mail should you need to speak with me on this matter." -------- FOLLOW-UP: A series of questions had been posed to the witness, which he replied to accordingly. Enclosed below are his answers;. __________________ *I was alone, so I don't know if anyone else saw the object. The object was near a populated area. There was an existing subdivision about a quarter of a mile away and the object was in sight of it or anyone who lived there. However, that is the only populated area in that locale. * I did not hear any sound. In fact, I turned my car off and got out to listen for sound, but I heard none. * The object was visible to me for about 30 seconds. * The time of day was 10:15 PM Central Standard Time. * I was on the north side of Gallatin and I was driving north.. The object was in the northern portion of Gallatin, west of my location by a quarter of a mile. ADDITIONAL COMMENT: The name and address of the claimant can be forwarded privately to interested parties, but is being excluded from public release. Although there is no information suggestive of a relationship, we should be mindful whether or not this sighting may correlate with another spate of sightings over Tampa Florida on the same day, in which many in the Tampa area were told that a Russian booster rocket had fallen into the Gulf. An alleged video of this sighting was reportedly broadcast on a local Fox-13 News TV station, and was described by one person as resembling a 'triangular-shaped object.'
