-
- Describe briefly the physical appearance of the object(s): At it's closest point, it
- was a structured craft of some sort. It had two orange lights in the rear, two
- "pillow-like" simi-transparent, soft-white colored things on it's underside. There
- was a pointed structure at the front, with a red light that sometimes strobed near the
- tip. There were other lights strobing at different intervals on other parts of the
- object. The top of the object was not visible, as it blended in with the black sky.
- It was hard to tell exactly what shape it was.
-
- Describe briefly the location of your sighting: Right outside of town, on a road.
- Fields mostly, with a few trees lining the road. A few houses were on both sides,
- with empty lots between them.
-
- Where were you & what were you doing at the time: I received a phone call at home
- from my girlfriend saying they seen the object south of Lafayette, LA. I immediately
- drove towards where they said it was headed.
-
- What made you first notice the object: It was a bright, star-like object moving
- towards the northwest. I noticed a few bright flashes from the object every now and
- then.
-
- What did you think the object was when you first saw it: I thought it might be a
- airplane at first, or a planet near the western horizon.
-
- Describe your reaction/action during and after the sighting: I was pretty excited,
- very curious, too. I felt determined to get a better look.
-
- Describe the object and its actions: When I first saw the object, it was in the WNW
- and moving slowly in that same direction. I stopped my vehicle and looked at the
- object with 7x50 binoculars. It looked like a bright, reddish star or plane to the
- unaided eye. With the binoculars it was a round light with a smaller strobing light
- near one edge of it. I then drove several miles following the object and it seemed I
- was getting closer to it. The object moved along ahead of me but finally slowed it's
- WNW movement and seemed to be hovering about 15 degrees above the horizon to the west
- of me.
-
- When observed through the binoculars, it seemed to be a structured craft. There was a
- round, green light the color of grass right next to it to the left of craft. This
- light seemed to be attached to the object by something. I flashed my headlights on
- and off quickly to attract it's attention. The object then started moving slowly in
- my direction (east), so I attempted to get where it would cross the North-South road I
- was on. I stopped and got out the truck and watched as the object slowly drifted over
- towards me and crossed the road I was parked on. The shape of the object seemed to
- resolve into several stobing lights, with the two "pillow-like" objects on the
- underside. There was no sound coming from the object, as far as I could tell.
-
- The object continued to move towards the east and back towards town. It seemed to be
- only 300-500 feet in the air when it passed over me. As it got further away, it
- picked up speed and got lower towards the horizon. Several radio towers and a water
- tower were in that direction. As it neared these, it turned towards the south, and
- dipped down behind some trees in the distance.
-
- How did you lose sight of the Object: It got low to the ground and went behind some
- trees.
