Medaryville, Indiana A UFO Remembered By Three Ladies But Never Was Able To Report It

When I lived in Medaryville Indiana in the country my sister and I started watching some very odd lights in the sky. They were often moving to each other and back and when a car would drive by they would move toward the cars . I remember the children on the school bus on the way to work had inspired us to see this odd appearance in the sky. It was often a nighty watch of hours of lights outside in the sky. My sister was older than me. My father said we were only watching weather balloons and would go back inside our home after he would check on our excitement of the nightly lights following each other and at times cars. We became so fasinated with the objects that my mother would start to come home after work and join in observing this strange array of moving lights.

One evening has haunted my memory the most. We never usually spoke of the scary experiance after it happened. ..I had run upstairs to get a better view of the lights from the 2nd story window of our rented house. Suddenly the cat jumped off my brothers bed..cows started mooing , every animal in the area made noises of alarm...

That was the time a huge saucer shaped ufo appeared out of the sky and was so close I feared for my life. It was very odd and the noise it fineally made was more like a whooping sound very slow and paced. I never forgot the feeling in my heart when it made the noise. My mother and sister never usually talk about it. I was around 13 at the time and am now 42 almost 43 years old. When I asked my mother the other day if she remembered the experiance she even was able to recall the noise.

It is something when people look at you if you even whisper you know there are strange saucers in the sky...and you know what you saw. So, all I can do is state to this report today that there were 3 of us. ...We saw it as close as you see your neighbors house if you live next to anyone close...

It was spooky and years later when I fineally saw a movie called close encounters I could fineally realize someone else has seen something..The saucer in the movie is larger than what we saw , but almost a perfect match. The lights went around the object making it look like it was spinning.

I used to be afraid to be alone....I know that people will one day see something in the sky....and I can only hope they don't have the nightmares I have had in my lifetime. The occourance was one I know will never forget ..it is something that stays with you. I remember the tops of the trees swaying when it passed...Then the saucer shaped thing left as it had arrived...It really was beautiful. But it was also very spooky. I am glad we left the country farm home after that..I am so very glad I now live in a town 5 miles down the road within reach of friendly neighbors.

But, on nights I look up and name a star..remembering the time a ufo came to Medaryville, Indiana....and I am so happy I don't live in the country anymore. I never will again..Not after that.
