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 reported his sighting about one week after it happened. The witness was outside “messing” with his boat. He saw the object in the dusk sky.

The witness grabbed his cell phone and began videoing the object. Four other family members also witnessed the sighting. The object showed various colors (blue, red and green).

The object moved erratically and appeared to change shapes.

The object was seen over Ross Barnett Reservoir. The object descended and was lost in the trees. (See above video clip.) The above clip is towards the end of the video.

The beginning of the video shows the object moving back and forth before it descended behind the trees.
