- Nevada, United States
-
- Date: Winter 1964
- Time: Approx: 5:00 p.m. (sunset)
- Telephone conversation with witness. (HBCC UFO)
-
- This report below came to me from Sue Darroch, Director
of ParaResearchers - Ontario. http://www.pararesearchers.org/
- You can make your Ontario sighting report to ParaResearchers
using their on-line report form.
-
- I telephoned a gentleman who resides in Penticton, British
Columbia to do a phone interview to gather information on a sighting he
had back in 1964 while driving south through Nevada, United States in the
winter time.While he was traveling in between the towns of Beatty and Tonopah
this is when he observed out of the corner of his eye, a spoke shaped object
coming up from behind him, off to his left and flying at a very low attitude.
As the witness said, he did not have to look way up to see it, but just
over to his left and tilted his head slightly up to see the object.
-
- A few more details as to how the sighting came about.
-
- The witnesses mother had drove down to Tonopah, United
States from Trail, British Columbia with friends to visit their married
daughter who was living in Tonopah, as her husband was stationed at an
airbase there.
-
- The witness who had the sighting left British Columbia
to pick up his mother in Tonopah after she had her visit with friends to
bring her back home. As he left Death Valley traveling to Tonopah by himself
he saw something to his left out of the corner of his eye. (HBCC UFO Note:
At this point at the sighting it was around 5:00 p.m. and it was just at
sunset). The witness said he was shocked to see a wheel shaped object traveling
quickly low in the sky, not making a sound and had a dull silver color
to it.
-
- The witness said the best description I can give me today
was that it looked just as if someone was looking at a wheel chair with
the big spokes inside the wheel. He also said it was revolving just like
a Farris Wheel would do in a clock wise rotation. He again stressed to
me that he did not have to look way up in the sky to see it, but rather
look to his left and up slightly as mentioned above. He also told me it
was very spooky to see such a sight as it flew by him, he then pulled over
to the side of the road to really have a good look at it, and he also grabbed
his 8mm camera in hopes of trying to catch a picture of it. As the object
passed him he noted that it left a large spiral jet trail behind it.
-
- Due to his amazement of the whole event, and due to the
speed the object was traveling at, he missed talking some footage of the
craft, but did catch the jet trail it did leave behind. (HBCC UFO Note:
Photos are posted at my website under United States Sighting Reports).
-
- The fellow said the photos are not top notch, but at
least it was a record of the event. The witness was heading towards the
north, so the object was also heading north and then off to the west. He
also stated that the object was as big as your average sized Ferris wheel
for sure. He said the whole event may have lasted for about 20 seconds,
but was not really sure to the actual amount of time when he first caught
sight of it.
-
- After speaking with the witness for sometime I did find
him to be a very credible witness. I also thanked him very much for telling
me the story and sending along the photos. The two photos of the jet trail
were taken off 8mm and place to VHS format. Ran on television and then
a friend of the witness snapped two shots with his digital camera off the
T.V.
-
- Again my thanks to Sue Darroch, Director of ParaResearchers
- Ontario for sending me the information.
