Maryville, TN

The witness, a former Marine and navy veteran( a trained observer), reported on the CMS that he saw something quite extraordinary.

Having just exited his house, he notices a DC 10 departing McGee Tyson . His attention was on the aircraft when he noticed more "aircraft" further up in the sky. A commercial "heavy" was at altitude and leaving a condensation trail and heading west. Much further below the heavy, a featureless cylinder shaped object was crossing the sky. The witness described the object as a "cigarette butt" at arm's length and slightly constricted in diameter in the center, almost a slight barbell shape. He noted in his interview that he waited for this object to do something more amazing as it crossed the sky but it never deviated from it's straight line path. This witness was adamant that the object had "no wings" and made no noise.

Mufresseboro, TN

The witness in this case is a housewife/mother who was watching her daughter ride a 4-wheeler when she had an amazing experience.

Standing still and observing her daughter, she saw something out of the corner of her eye moving across the sky. She reports that she looked up and almost "died"(from interview). A cigar shaped object was slowly moving across the sky. The object was metallic and looked like "tarnished stainless steel"

As she watched the object picked up speed slightly and leveled out to show that it was in fact a disc shaped object, becoming completely round. Her testimony stated that the object was "soccer ball" sized at arm's length, sometimes larger.. As the object maneuvered, it was joined by an identical disc which both began circling each other, joined and moved away in an instant.

This witness was adamant that until this event, she thought everyone who had ever seen or reported a ufo was delusional. We also found this witness to be quite credible. It should be noted that this witness is a former employee of the Air Force at Arnold Engineering/AFB, just outside of Murfreesboro.
