Wow! What do you do in that lonely outpost at McMurdo Station, Thrillhouse? You got any pins there?

OK. MY TURN!

After refusing to watch football on TV today because of all the protesting, I've more time on my hands than I expected! So, here's my story.

Back around 1955, I was about 8 years old. We lived WAY out in the country in an isolated area about 30 miles south of Louisville, Kentucky. It was either a Friday or Saturday night, because we were all staying up later than usual because no one had to go to school or work the next day. It was a hot summer night. Perhaps around 10 p.m., my Dad got up to go outside. We had no air conditioning then, and he went out to take in some cool air. He suddenly called for my Mom. Of course, us 3 kids just HAD to jump up too to go see what he needed her so quickly for. That's when I saw "My UFO's"!!!

This ‘event' is as clear in my mind today as it was back then. Here is what we ALL saw: Three (3) golden looking ‘moons' hovering in the night sky, low enough that you only had to tilt your head up a few inches to see them, and they were BIG. They glowed an orange-yellow, like a Harvest Moon, but they were no moon. They were perfect circles and the edges were perfect too. They were solid and the surface was flat. I remember asking my Dad what they were, and he said it was probably ‘something' from the Army from nearby Ft. Knox. But as we stared at them, we all knew this was not ‘projected' light (as in search lights), and it wasn't aircraft because they made no sound, and it was very evident they were flat discs.

These three ‘moon's were perfectly spaced apart, and they very, very slowly moved from left to right across the sky, with the distance between them never wavering, until they went out of sight. This took probably 15 minutes from the time we first saw them until they disappeared. I also remember my Dad taking Mom to the side and talking in hushed tones. I imagine he didn't want to alarm us kids as he probably told her they were ‘flying saucers'!!!

We all looked eagerly at the Sunday newspaper to see the headlines. The Louisville Courier-Journal had a huge staff and circulation, and I just knew they would have a story because so many had seen this phenomenon and they would have the answer as to what they were. There would be proof this was a man-made event, and explainable. Or, proof that we had indeed seen an alien spacecraft! But . . . no headline. No story. Nothing! Upon asking other relatives and friends, no one else had seen those disks that night.

And, I'VE never seen anything like that again! What my family saw that night has baffled me until this day!!!

They went to Mexico . . . so they could slip back into the USA through the border.

Well, if he's like me . . . this has become a challenge of sorts. He could already be thinking of how he can do the same thing! And then there's the wife standing out there saying, "You are going to kill yourself when one of those things fall over on you!"

Let's see how close I am when he answers this.
