Location of Sighting: Mercury, Nevada
Date of Sighting: 1975
Time of Sighting: 2:30 PM Pacific Time

Description: I was moving from Carson City, NV to Oklahoma City, OK in 1975. I was young, but witnessed something I have never forgot.

My father and I were in his truck with CB communication to my mother’s vehicle and to a friend of my father’s that was moving to Oklahoma for work. Anyway we were close to Mercury, Nevada in the daytime.

My father pointed out a space ship, well that’s what he called it because I didn’t have a clue what a UFO was. It was huge, real big and my best explanation of it was like one if the ships you see in that movie Independence Day. Well maybe it was a cross between that one and the one in Close Encounters.

It was metal, not shiny, but tarnished in big rust colored streams down the side. It was worn like what you would see in Star Wars, the desert type ships that looked rode real hard and a little rough. It has large towers like big radio antennas with clearance lights. I didn’t see windows, but I was a ways from it. What happened is it must have been real close to the ground, but like 2 to 3 miles away yet large enough to make out a lot.

I don’t think I saw windows because of the distance, but who knows. It came up from behind a large hill looking ominous in size than once up a couple thousand feet it rotated clockwise about only 15% than back down slowly to land behind the hill. No, it wasn’t a balloon.

It had no jets, was soundless and very well traveled. I did do a few sketches, but I am no artist. I hope you like my story and it was quite an experience.

I will always believe I witnessed something from somewhere other than here on Earth.

Description: The witness called and report his sighting several months after it occurred. He had reported it to other UFO groups, but received no response. A clip of the interview with the witness is available above.

The witness felt compelled to go outside. He at once saw a bright white light approaching from the north. The light continued to grow in brightness and size.

The light then descended over the local airport. The object then made a right angle turn and start moving in the direction of the Highway 89A in the direction of Sedona, AZ. The witness’s neighbor also saw the object.

The witness then retrieved his binoculars and began following the object. The object then abruptly turned to red. Through the binoculars the object was inside a “red glow” and appeared to be “A-Frame” shaped. The witness said that he could see through the object.

The object was silent and skies were clear. The witness contacted the local Sheriff and local airport. He was told by both entities that no other reports had been received. The witness says that he still has recurring dreams about the object (9 months after the sighting).

The witness’s step father was an airline pilot and he was in the Air Force. He is very familiar with aircraft and does that believe that this was a “conventional” object.
