Quote from the article (the part that focuses on the 1986 North Carolina
“The boomerang-shaped object as big as two football fields made no sound
as it cruised over Alfred and Elizabeth Edwards of Hempstead, but Elizabeth
Edwards says it gave her ‘the most terrifying feeling I’ve ever had in my
life.’
‘It felt like my body was vibrating, but I think it was fright,’ she
said of the experience Jan. 9, 1986. ‘It scared me so bad I cried. It left me
with a very uneasy feeling, a very humbling feeling. I did not want to see
anything like that again. But three or four days later, I would have given
anything to see it again.’
The experience was one of eight apparent UFO sightings reported in North Carolina
Fawcett, who investigates and compiles sightings of unidentified flying
objects, said the number is about the same as the year before.
‘But these are significant reports. We have electromagnetic interference,
animal reactions, multiple witnesses and people who have agreed to use their
names,’ he said. ‘This is the best I’ve seen in about two and a half years.
They (the witnesses) don’t seem to express the fear of ridicule.’
Elizabeth Edwards, a 53-year-old housewife, said she and her husband, a
52-year-old construction worker, were returning home from dinner in Wilmington
at about 7:45 p.m. when they saw lights about 400 feet up in the sky
along U.S. 17.
‘It just came over real slow, he estimated about 15 or 20 mph ,’ Elizabeth Edwards
said. ‘I believe it was the most terrifying feeling I’ve ever had in my life. …
I caught myself trying to hide from the lights behind him (Alfred Edwards). I
begged him to get back in the car … but it was like he was mesmerized.’
Elizabeth Edwards said she called the Wilmington Airport Washington
‘I was kind of like other people,’ said Elizabeth Edwards. ‘I did try to
keep an open mind, but I still had a little doubt. I thought maybe what they
saw could be explained. But not anymore. … Believe you me, they are there,
whatever they are.’ ”
