   Witness, Rebecca Mills, reported that her son, Christopher (eight   
   years old) first observed the object in the sky and then herself and   
   her husband also observed the object that looked like a star and was   
   at a 45 degree angle.  It was smaller than a dime but a good average   
   size star.  There was not sound. It moved on a linear path but not   
   straight.  It went back and forth but still going in the same direction,   
   wiggling.  It was a bright light and had no colors.  They were facing   
   S.W. when observing the light and the light was heading N.E.

   Bob Manil observed what looked at first like a meteor or shooting   
   star but went at different speeds and would go zigzag.  Sometimes   
   it would come a little closer and get a little brighter but never   
   close enough to let him see the shape only that it looked like a star.   
   He observed it for five minutes as it headed north.  One other witness   
   also observed the light for about 30 seconds. Sometimes the light   
   would come to a complete stop and then continue.

   Residents in this rural town along the Tennessee Kentucky border say   
   an unidentified object hovered over a local softball game and has made   
   several other appearances in the past week.   
       
   The craft was first sighted by about 200 people at the softball game   
   on Tuesday, said Donaid Napier, publisher of the local newspaper.   
   The Clay Citizen.   
       
   It was making just a deafening noise...Out on the field, the umpires,   
   the pitcher, the batter and everybody just stoped what they were doing   
   and  just looked straight up.  It got everybody's attention, Napier   
   said.  Witnesses said the object was 250 to 300 feet long, with an   
   octagonal shape at least four outside lights and a beacon at the center.   
   It looked just exactly like a jet plane and sounded like it was going   
   to crash.  It was going down at about a 45 degree angle right toward   
   the river, he says.   
       
   Clay County Sheriff's Department officals said they have had numerous   
   calls about reported sighting since Tuesday.  Dwight Goolsby, owner   
   of a local restaurant said he saw the craft, It had one big white   
   light spotlight-like on each side shining down on the ground. He said   
   you could see real good on the ground. It was just sitting there,   
   then it eased off over the horizon.   
       
   Melba Burch, of the Chamber of Commerce, said the craft passed over   
   her home. It sounded mighty darn low. She said my husband's worked   
   around planes and I've been around planes all my life.  This wasn't   
   any light plane that came over my house.

   Witness stated he didn't see any figure, he couldn't make it out.   
   What he saw was a bright light, an amber colored light up about   
   40 - 50,000 feet at about 9:00 p.m.  He saw it for about 2 1/2 minutes.   
   Another witness saw the last 20 - 30 seconds of it.  The night was   
   crystal clear and the light was moving real fast, incredibly fast,   
   faster than a fighter leaving a vapor trail.  He was really amazed   
   by maneuvers it made and the remarkable turns it made.  It was above   
   them for a while.  Made maneuvers half a dozen times.  Some were pure   
   90 degree turns.  Seemed to slow down and stop a little, hesitate   
   and then move and make a turn.  Made zigzags.  First came from north   
   and went south then went west and hovered then moved few zigzags and   
   then as it came towards then it made really sharp turn then headed   
   back toward west and out of sight. Maintained the same color the   
   whole time.

   At 8:26 p.m. witness took his trash out to the dumpster and as he   
   was walking back he observed a light about twice the size of a star.   
   It did some amazing things, very quick.  It first zigzaged coming   
   from north then went east stopped and came towards him then bolted   
   west then east and west again and disappeared. He went in the house   
   and told his wife and when they came back outside there were two jet   
   con trails that apparently were following the same thing.  Tryed   
   locally to find out what it was but was unsuccessful.  Very sharp   
   maneuvers and felt that it could out maneuver any jet.
