A woman from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania recalls her late 1950s UFO experience when she and some friends were returning home from a day of shopping.
The following account was forwarded to me by another investigator:
“There were three of us, Mary, her mother Dorothy, and myself. We were in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, near our homes in Shippensburg. We went shopping at a mall and were returning home. Mary was getting ready to go to nursing school. She was buying a few things, and the stores closed at 9 p.m.
We were coming back from and Mary hated driving on Interstate 81 so we always took the rural back roads and it was a perfectly clear night, a million stars visible and some moonlight. And it was just, you know, a lovely drive. And, out of nowhere, there were these lights that came up behind us. Mary thought that somebody wanted to pass so she put her arm out and she said, 'Pass! Pass!' and she slowed down and they didn't pass. But they were close and it was annoying her, so she stopped the car and she said, 'I want to find out what is going on.' And her mother said, 'Mary, don't get out of this car. Just stop. Let them go. Ignore them.' And she said, 'No, maybe something's wrong.' Ever the caregiver, nurse Mary.
I was in the back seat. I got out of the car as well. Mary was 18 and I was 17. So, I got out of the car and I was on the passenger side of the car. Mary was on the driver's side of the car. She walked to the rear of the car and I was already pretty much there. There was this object. There were no lights this time. When we stopped and got out of the car, the lights were gone. You couldn't even see where there had been headlights or anything, it was perfectly smooth.
It wasn't square in shape, it wasn't oblong or like a hot dog or anything like that. It sort of had a rise in the center from the top as though it rose and the bottom appeared to be flat and the sides were curved but very smooth. There was not a sound at all. Not an engine, not a hum, nothing. It was absolutely quiet. I wasn't frightened because we didn't feel threatened. I mean, I actually touched it. I was so fascinated with it because I didn't know what it was made of.
In later years I came to realize that it was like titanium. It was perfectly black and the moonlight made it look shiny. Mary started asking, 'Hello, do you want to talk to us. I'm not afraid.' and I said, 'I'm not afraid either.' I said, 'Would you like to speak to us? Would you like to ask us questions? We'd like to ask you questions. Don't be afraid, we're not afraid.' We were kids, you know.
Now Mary's mother is in the front seat crying hysterically, 'Get in the car! Get in the car! I don't like this, I'm frightened!' And Mary's just, 'Ma, shut up!' This is the amazing thing, it just lifted straight up without making a sound. It elevated as if to go up and while it was right in front of it, I mean I wasn't a foot from it. I could put my arm out and touch it and it just lifted straight up and just sort of took off. As it took off, lights around it started circling, different colors and we could see people inside and we waved. Yeah, we waved goodbye. They were too far away, but they appeared to be human. They had heads, necks, shoulders, and arms. Mary said, 'They don't have five fingers.' and, see, I wasn't looking at the fingers. We were waving to them saying goodbye and they waved back to us.” TF
