Location of Sighting: Murfreesboro, Tennesse
The witness, who requests full anonymity, can’t recall the exact date this sighting occurred but is certain it was in the early Fall of 2006. According to “Joe,” he had just gotten home from work and was at his kitchen sink looking out into his backyard which is lined with large trees. He saw his two sons, age 9 and 11, standing very still and looking skyward. “Joe” states he bent down at the sink to follow their gaze, hoping to see what they were looking at. His first thought was “Wow, a jump jet,” and then realizing that there was no noise, he immediately went out his back door to his deck. About 50-60 feet away and probably 30 feet up was a large, dark, polished (chrome-like) metallic craft about the size of a “greyhound bus”(Joe’s words). Standing in absolute awe, he described this ballistic-shaped object as being 40 feet long, cylindrical/cone-shaped with a shiny metal surface somewhat the color of polished stainless steel. It was “parked,” silent and perfectly still in Mid Air ! "------"no noise, no static, no radiant distortions, not a leaf moving as if this object were not even there." To borrow a phrase from Coleridge's poem "Cristabel," I would call this a UFO "witchery in daylight" experience where "Joe" was literally intranced, just as frozen in space as the object he was witnessing.
“Joe” described the back of the craft as having three large darker protrusions set in a triangular pattern and many small darker spots which almost reminded him of regularly spaced rivets, but were not rivets and were about the diameter of a dinner plate and encircled the rear of the craft. The three circles at the rear of the craft looked like closely nit wire mesh. No heat signature radiated from the circles nor any indication of any power source. This utterly weird-looking craft was wingless, with no rivets, bolts, screws or welds other than the perfectly inlaid dots that encircled its rear.
After some 3 to 4 minutes the craft started to move (still absolutely no sound or indication of any power). Then it stopped at the end of his back yard. “Joe” was amazed not knowing how the craft stopped, and also amazed as the craft made what "Joe" described as "an almost “magnetically influenced turn" which happened within the trapezoidal-like area the craft occupied, and then it sped off to the NE in level flight, gaining altitude with absolutely no pitch. He did add that as the object departed, an emerald green strobe began flashing on it which he had not noticed while it hovered over his yard. He said that the craft when viewed from a farther distance, except for the color of the strobe, did not appear different from an ordinary aircraft.
The entire family, including Joe’s wife, witnessed the object and are still angry with themselves for not using a video camera which was inside the house and ready for use. However, in order to etch in the memories of his children what they saw, "Joe" made four color drawings of their otherworldly visitor. I marvelled when I first saw these because they look like real photographs.
