February 5, 2014
A Lafayette
County, MS, family came forward February 5, 2014, to revisit a UFO encounter
after keeping the story in the family for 40 years, according to testimony in
Case 53931 in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)
witness reporting database.
"This was
told to me by my mother many years ago and I asked her to re-tell me recently
so I could document it," the reporting witness stated. "I have always
been fascinated by UFOs. This happened when I was 3 years old in 1974 in a very
rural area in Mississippi."
The family
still lives about 30 minutes from the site, a rural home along a gravel road.
The 1974 witnesses included the reporting witness who was 3 years old, a
4-year-old brother, a newborn sister, their mother and their grandparents.
"It was
around 6 o'clock in the evening in March. From the kitchen window you could see
across the dirt road into a field that had no trees. My mother went to the
kitchen sink to warm a bottle for my sister. She glanced out the window and
seen a huge object hovering in the field."
She described
the object.
"She said
it never touched the ground but set silently hovering for about 20 minutes. She
said it was pulsating a pinkish light all over. She kept saying that is was
huge and it was nothing like she had ever seen."
The family
finally moved outside for a better look.
"She went
out onto the porch to get a better look at it. Me and my brother followed her
and she sent my brother next door to get my grandparents. They came over and
stood on the porch with my mother watching this thing."
The object was
described.
"It never
moved other than pulsating this light. There were no windows that my mother or
grandparents could see. She said that the object was bigger than a plane and
never made any noise. She said they stood there just staring at it trying to
figure out what it was."
The family
finally went inside.
"My
mother said she had to feed my baby sister and my grandparents went home and we
went in the house. She picked up my sister and went back to the kitchen window
and it was gone, all in about two minutes that it took to get my sister picked
up. She said nothing else ever happened and there was no missing time. She was
too afraid to go across the road and look around."
