Describe sighting in detail:
This UFO sighting happened when I was a child but I can remember it very vividly. When I try to talk to my siblings, (a younger brother & two older sisters), they either don't want to talk about it or have very little to say.
In the early 70's, we lived in a four room house on Menelaus Road in Berea KY. There was a large field with a pond behind the house. There was an old table near our garden spot & we would gather there & play cards. On this particular evening, we were at this table playing cards when I looked up to the west & through the tree tops, I saw what I thought was a large bird.
I can remember saying "hey, look at that bird". As soon as I said "bird", this thing was hovering over our heads.
My oldest sister looked up at it & said "run!", so we ran into the house. I can remember it being triangular shaped & jet black.
I have over the years tried to figure out how it made that 90 degree turn in order to be over our heads so quickly. It moved a good distance to be where we were because when I first saw it, & it looked like the side view of a gliding bird moving from right to left through the tree tops on the other side of the large field behind our house.
I remember that night, the house & chicken coop was lit up with red & blue lights. Strange flashing of lights, not like the flashing of police car or fire truck lights. I remember this because our Dad opened the back door (I guess to see where these lights were coming from) & I was behind him trying to see more than the lights flashing on the chicken coop. I can remember him telling me to go back into the room. Not much has been said about this over the years between my siblings & myself. It's like they just want to forget about it ever happening. Strange but true.
