UFO News Article:
“Lauderdale Law Officers Report UFO”


28 September 1973
(The Tennessean, Nashville, Tennessee)

The whole article:
“Sheriff Lewis Gitchell of Lauderdale County and one of his deputies said yesterday they saw unidentified flying objects west of Ripley Wednesday night [26 September 1973].

Gitchell said he watched through binoculars as three lights on an object at least 20 miles away changed from red to white.

‘I CAN’T SAY what it was, but I know I saw it,’ Gitchell said.

Deputy Myron Kissell said he saw an object that seemed to have a triangular shape and two orange-tinted lights, one larger than the other that appeared to beam. He said the beam would shine in one direction and then in another. The deputy said the object was about five miles east of his home and about 300 feet off the ground.

‘I don’t know what it was, but I am sure it wasn’t anything from nature,’ Kissell said.”
