“Sheriff Lewis Gitchell of Lauderdale County
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.”
