Drove up on craft less than 100 ft away it took off. Went back and hovered over the asphalt road emittind brilliant shimering light.

In the 70s we had to look for parties of our friends. We drove down a logging road that had an old cul-de-sac and when we come over the hill the craft was sitting in the cul-de-sac. At first, it looked like a circle of lights of course we could only see our side of the circle but the individual lights illuminated the metallic craft. It emitted super bright lights and rose into the sky, right above the trees it just sat there. When we got back to the main road and stopped, got out and just watched it, there were long shadows from the 3ft trees. It was dead silent I mean no sound at all so we went into town and got a friend. We got back to the site and it was sitting in the original place with its lights dimmed. I don't remember anything else on this sighting I know we hauled butt to get out of there.

I talked to my friend (Played Drums in our band) last year about what we saw and he replied "They are already here and I think about the sighting every day", He passed away just a few months ago so I did this report in his honor. We later got a call from our church that there was a sighting happening at that very moment and asked us to go out there to a subdivision about 6 miles north of town. Everyone in the subdivision was out in the road looking at a shimmering silver, blue and green object. They all said it was over a barn that was real close and flew out to where it was. We heard and saw a lot of UFO in the summer of 1975.
