name: Keath Graham
location: Bogalusa, LA, USA
date: Summer 1966
time: Between 9-10PM CST
sighting: I was 8 years old and playing in the front yard of my home in Bogalusa with three playmates, approximately
the same age. We were pretending we were the Monkees singing group that was so popular on tv then. It was dark
and our house was on a deserted road in the countryside leading to the Pearl River which separates Louisiana from
Mississippi on the easternmost side. In the midst of our playing, my friend Timothy Dixon became startled by the
UFO appearing in the near western sky. He pointed and we all saw the thing. Oblong shaped, hovering fairly unsteadily,
about 50 yards away from us and about the same distance up in the sky. It had lights circling the midsection, blinking
red, green and possibly blue. We could see windows, or maybe portholes above the lights. I had the feeling the
lights were "running" around the center section. The blinking effect could've been all that it was. We
were scared and went in to get my dad to check it out. It was still there and dad didn't know what to make of it.
He called the police as my mom verified the sighting as well. The object hovered all through the phone call allowing
us all to view it for an extraordinarily long time. After he reported it, we got in the car to leave as fast as
we could, but the car wouldn't start. It took several tries to get the engine to work and everyone was very relieved
when it did. We never received a police followup of what it could have been, nor did it ever make the newspaper
in our small town. 6 people saw it, however, including two adults, and no one knew what it could have been. I wonder
if the original report could be located in the police files.
