On Memorial Day 2014, I finally got to visit Cudjo's Caverns, which is now known as Gap Cave (again). Growing up I can remember our family driving by this tourist stop many times but we never did go in and take the tour. As I grew older, Cudjo's Caverns was shut down, and the road going past it was closed off and later removed, this was done because the Cumberland Gap Tunnel was completed and you no longer had to drive over this dangerous, curvy road to visit Tennessee and Virginia. Many lives have been lost crossing this mountain.

Once we heard that the Caverns were back open and that the Cumberland Gap Park Rangers were giving guided tours, we decided to make reservations.

Date of Sighting: 2-13-14
Time of Day: nighttime
Nearest Town: Middlesboro
Length of Sighting: an hour
How many Witnesses: 2
Any Photos/Videos: yes
Describe sighting in detail:
Bright white strobe light with large flashes of red hovering in same spot over Cumberland Mountain- due to distance and the size of the light, I would estimate it to be quite large, possibly three stories tall. After about an hour of watching I saw 12 small red lights pass in front of me in perfect formation; they banked left and headed for the flashing object over the mountain where they appeared to fly into the craft.
Within 10-15 minutes I heard helicopters approaching from the North, and the light disappeared. The craft most certainly appeared
to be round, as the way the lights flashed it was very similar to a lighthouse beacon effect. I got the impression whoever was manning the craft
did not care who saw it. The flashes of red were startling.
