Occurred : 9/9/2000 03:30 (Entered as : 9/9/00 3:30 am) Reported: 4/21/2002 8:57:33 PM 20:57 Posted: 4/25/2002 Location: Gardiner, MT Shape: Light Duration: 2 minutes
Yankee Stadium in the middle of nowhere I was on vacation in Livingston Mt. last Sept. In a field a few miles above North Gate-Yellowstone Park. In the middle of the night about 3:30am, the whole valley lights up like Yankee Stadium, and with not a peep. It stayed lit without movement of any kind for at least 40 seconds. It came back a second time moments later for about 20 seconds, and went away again. I came out of my Mini-Van the first, and the second time looking for a truck, but my eyes looked to the sky both times like I was having some sort of an invitation or something. It felt like I was hiding behind a tree, and I was witnessing a serious crime, thus knowing the silence was very strange. Blew it off, went to sleep and woke early just to find an open field with a bumpy dirt road, and no main road near enough to provive any lights. The sound of the yahoo's pick-up aproaching convinced me-------UFO....... If you want the story, let me know.......… ((NUFORC Note: We spoke with the witness who submitted this report, and he asserted that the incident occurred as described above. We have requested a report from his girlfriend. PD))
