At first glance, it resembled a runaway hot air balloon when bright silver-white lights began to flash from the bottom half , when the sun reflected its sterling silver color. No sound was heard. It kept on a north/north west direction until it disappeared into a billowing cloud formation. A few minutes later, there were five vapor trails in the northern skies, in the same direction the object was heading. Richard
It was a dark night about 9 PM when we suddenly heard a type of buzzing sound behind us. We turned to see a glowing, egg-shaped object with bluish lighting on the front facing side. The unusual craft was hovering just a few feet above the ground, and about thirty feet from the shoreline.
As we watched, a door opened in the object, and three strange beings began to float just above the water straight toward us. Though the beings had legs, they did not use them, they simply floated across the river! The beings were about five feet tall with bullet-shaped heads, no necks, and slits for mouths. Where their noses or ears would be, they had thin, conical objects which stuck out like carrots from a snowman's head. They had no eyes, grey, wrinkled skin, round feet, and claw-like hands.
I was grabbed by two of these creatures, and the third grabbed Parker. I noticed that when they touched him, he simply appeared to faint from fright. When the beings put their arms under my body to support me, I suddenly felt numb all over. We were both then "floated" into a a brightly-lit room inside the craft. Once inside the room, an eye-like device examined us all over. Shortly thereafter, while left floating, the beings left the room I was in, presumably to examine Parker.
Approximately twenty minutes after the ordeal had begun, it was over, and I was "floated" back outside to find my friend on the ground in prayer and he was crying. Only a moment later, the craft rose straight up into the air and disappeared, leaving both us more than a bit shaken.
As we tried to regain our composure, we felt obligated to tell someone and despite the fear of ridicule, we phoned Kessler Air Force Base in Biloxi. They referred us to the Biloxi Sheriff's Office. Instead, we drove to our local newspaper. The office was closed so we then, and somewhat reluctantly, decided to take our bizarre story to the Sheriff after all.
Naturally, the Sheriff thought our story was some kind of a hoax. Apparently, in an effort to get to the truth, he put both of us into a room which was wired for sound. I think he was hoping that they would slip up and reveal why we were perpetuating such a strange tale. We were then encouraged to take lie-detector tests, which we both passed.
The Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), sent University of California Professor James Harder to investigate. Harder hypnotized me, but I became so frightened that the session had to be aborted. Harder believed my story. And, at a later date, J. Allen Hynek from the Center for UFO Studies, who had also came to investigate the incident, later stated that there was definitely something here (in this case) that was not of terrestrial origin.
