"There were three distinct lights, two red ones and it took up the entire interstate. You couldn't see any stars. It was jet black other than the three lights, and it didn't make any noise."
I received the following account:
“I was in the seventh grade in 1981. My family and I lived near Asheville, North Carolina and were coming back from Columbia, South Carolina, where we were originally from. Along the way on I-40, we saw something. I know everybody says that but I distinctly remember looking out of the windows. I saw it. My mom saw it. My little brother even saw it. My step-father, he's sketchy on it. He's religious and he can't mesh the two things together. It just screws things up for him.
So, anyway, we're driving along and the next thing, we're home. The next morning, he's the one, he goes outside and he comes back inside, because I got school the next day, and he said, 'Tina,' that's my mom, 'why did you reset all the pre-sets on the radio? The times wrong, everything.' And we got to thinking about it. We don't remember coming home last night. But I can remember what we saw when we looked out the window and my mom remembers a little bit more than we can.
There was a craft. It was huge! I-40 is not lit up. When you're coming up into Asheville, it's not lit up. There's no streetlights at the time. Maybe now? But it was bright like floodlights and I’ve since been in military and law enforcement and that's the only equivalent as to how bright it was, that I know of. I remember looking up and there were three distinct lights, two red ones and it took up the entire interstate. You couldn't see any stars. It was jet black other than the three lights, and it didn't make any noise.
I remember rummaging through the car trying to look out the window and my mom saying, 'Get back in the car! Get back in the car!' The only thing truly lasting is that all of us have a scar on our arm now. It's in the shape of a half-moon.” Elaborating further on the scar, he said, “The only thing that I can recall is, and my mom helped, you know when you have like a zit? Well, I had one in my ear. It was bothering me and I guess I was in high-school and obviously I can't see my ear so I said, 'Mom, can you help me with this?” and she looked and she popped it and when she popped it, a metallic thing came out. She kept it for a year.” S
