Our UFO Sighting in 1976

rendition.jpg

We have said before that we will post any reports. The information that is sent to us doesn’t have to be current. Our goal is to show what is out there, no matter how long ago it was. Following is an e-mail we received after the last article. This dates back to the mid to late 70′s but has haunted this person all of their life. Abductees and experiencers never forget what they have seen or experienced. It stays with them for the rest of their lives.

As with any information, we do not post exact locations or names unless we are asked to. Everyone’s privacy is important and we respect this. Not everyone wants to make a report. Some are worried about what their friends, relatives, and/or neighbors will think, and others have concerns that it will affect their business or employment. We fully understand. We are not affiliated with any of the larger UFO investigative organizations. If you wish to make a report with any of them, be careful. Make sure you know who you are dealing with, Google them, check linkedin, run an online criminal record search.
 
There are a lot of scams out here and some of them are even associated with larger, more professional UFO/Paranormal groups. Do not sign any kind of release or paperwork until you have it read it thoroughly or you could end up giving up your rights to anything you tell them and any photos you give them. There are some good people out there, just be careful and choose the right one. I am posting the letter as it was sent to us, with the persons permission and the agreement that we do not disclose their name. The attached picture is just a rendition of what they might have seen. This person reached out to us because they needed to talk about it. We are willing to listen and share anything you think others should know about and still keep your name and residence quiet. There is mention of several counties in this letter, because the person wanted us to know that they were familiar with different areas of the state. They do not mention the exact location of this event.
 
We just want to show that there have been sightings and experiences long before our abduction, and that they continue. Please feel free to share with us anything unusual you have seen or experienced. The letter has been edited for punctuation and spelling only.
 
1976 Sighting – Dear Sir & Family;
 
Just wanted to write to you to say I am sorry for all that you have had to go through.
 
I grew up in St. Francois County Missouri, and spent time in Iron and Reynolds counties as well. My first remembrance of realizing all is not what it seems was around 1975-76. My family was having a reunion on my Grandfather and Grandmothers farm in very rural Missouri. All of the grandchildren were churning home-made ice-cream out in the yard.
 
It was almost dusk; the sun had just slipped behind the next mountain closest to us. I remember laughing and playing with my cousins….and then everyone became quiet. I realized the adults were looking skyward. All of us youngsters looked up as well– to see at least 6 silver disk shaped objects in still formation above the hilltop (where the sun was setting).
 
The objects were clearly visible, close proximity, and not making any noise. I will never forget the lights on the objects either. Each object had one row of pulsating white lights that went in a circular motion; you could clearly see the crafts were of a rounded shape. What followed was mayhem. The adults were rushing all of us children into the house, most of us so scared by what we were seeing we were crying. Even most of the adults came into the house with us, and some of my Aunts were crying as well out of fear.
 
Most of the men of our family stayed outside to watch the objects. When I was allowed back outside, I saw two objects left in the sky and I saw them change their appearance. Both objects became solid bright white lights, like staring closely at car headlights. My Father took us home at that point. I remember one of the lights followed us slowly for several miles. I have since throughout my life seen some strange things in the sky, but never to this magnitude.
 
This is something that I have not written about or really talked about to anyone, but this experience taught me a lesson at a young age. Over my lifetime (I am now 46) I have always watched the sky, for exactly what I don’t know,-maybe fear, maybe intrigue, maybe even for the day they “officially” land.
 
I just wanted to tell you-you are not alone in the path you have had to walk. I hope your health will get better and your “walk” will be lighter to bare. Thank you so very much for your website!! Thanks for taking the time to deal with the true reality of what is taking place right under most peoples noses.
 
Again-Thanks, Take Care, and Blessings to You and Yours
 
Update
 
I have been in constant communication with this person. Below is are a few excerpts from  e-mails that I have been authorized to share. There are many details that suggest this person has been abducted at least once, probably more. The dreams that are mentioned, the heightened paranormal activity around the house and the instinctive feeling of being observed or watch are characteristics mentioned in many abductee reports.
 
Dear Lori;       
 
Thanks for sending the picture. It is close enough to what we saw that I am shaking as I try to type this and getting nauseated. The disks we saw were a little more silver in color at first( they appeared to be made out of shiny silver “metal”) BEFORE they changed into the bright white lights. That being said, you did an excellent job of the re-creation. The sun set and the beautiful hills pictured are just like being there all over again. This is so upsetting for me, but this needs to be told.         
 
That evening, we all truly felt that we were being watched by the “crafts”. I still yet, to this day, get creeped out at times, like they are close around. I get really scared by that feeling. I know that sounds crazy-BUT- I KNOW you understand what I am trying to convey to you.
 
You have my permission to include the re-creation photo and print my story. In further, this event happened on “AA” hwy in southern St. Francois County, Missouri.
