"His vision of the stars was suddenly impeded by a black mass so large he estimates it spanned many miles. The craft was gigantic and silent."
I received the following account:
"Hi. The following account is from my Dad. He's told it to me a few times while growing up. When my Dad was 18 or so, back in 1978 or 1979, he was riding home from Wednesday night church with his father, his sister, and his brother. Their black Buick made its way back home along an empty stretch of highway. My dad leaned his head against the glass and watched the stars. He says it was a perfectly clear night, and he could see the huge expanse of sky stretch to the horizon. We live in a rural area of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and even now in 2024, at night I can see stars unaffected by light pollution. His vision of the stars was suddenly impeded by a black mass so large he estimates it spanned many miles.
His father stopped the car in the middle of the highway and all four passengers got out to stare up at this huge, flat, black expanse, the bottom of some sort of craft. It was gigantic and silent. Dad says that little lights shone here and there, as if through windows, but it remained unmoving for a moment, as did his family as they stared in shock at this massive object. It was so large he couldn't identify its dimensions, it just looked flat. He could not even estimate its distance for the size of the thing.
Suddenly a rectangular hatch or a door of some kind lowered allowing a dazzling bright light to escape from within the craft, and Dad could see that at least where the door was, this part of the craft was curved, like the bottom of a saucer. A much smaller aircraft like some weird plane or a strangely shaped rocket slowly exited the hatch door, which raised up and closed once the craft was free of the doorway. The looming black mass remained still for a moment, then as suddenly and silently as it arrived, it flew away and up into the night sky impossibly fast. The smaller craft it left behind, and it too hesitated perfectly still in the night sky before it shot away laterally, toward the horizon.
My Dad and his family were too shocked to move or say anything for several minutes. Finally, my grandfather said, "C'mon, y'all, dinner's waiting." They piled back into the Buick. My Dad says dinner was quiet, none of them spoke before going to bed. The next day they didn't speak about it, but by Christmas a few months later, they treated it like a joke, a novelty story to entertain the extended family. But my Dad has never forgotten the experience.
My dad is unfailingly honest. He doesn't like tall tales, he has no interest in unsolved mysteries or unexplained events, and he dislikes sci-fi (other than the original Star Trek series.) He's just a simple countryman who keeps to himself. He has no other story like this one, so I believe him 100% that he witnessed this event and that he is not exaggerating anything.
I live in the same area he did back then, while he lives about 30 miles away. I drive along that same highway and I pass the same Baptist church he says he passed just before the craft appeared, and I look up into the sky each time and try to imagine what it must have been like to see something so big looming overhead. I've heard theories that UFO sightings and run-ins with extraterrestrials can run in families, and I always have this small hope that one night while driving home, I'll pass that church and have my own experience. So far my life has been bereft of UFOs though." D
