The sighting I witnessed was also seen by 9 or l0 other people.including the sheriff in the small texas town of Jewett. . I was driving back to Houston after a visit with my grandparents in Mexia, tx. I crossed over a small overpass and into a sharp curve on highway 39 in Jewett going north when i noticed several cars pulled off to the right hand shoulder of the road. My first thought was that there had been an accident. I passed the cars and noticed several people standing on the shoulder of the road looking out across a field, which was in an easterly direction. I pulled off the road and approached a lady and asked her what had happened. All she said was LOOK and then pointed toward a treeline that was approximately 300 yards from where we we're standing. Hovering above this treeline was a large silver object. It appeared motionless, but slowly tilted upward toward where we we're standing. You could then see what i describe as strobe lights blinking from the bottom. The lights we're in a circle and it looked like the colors of the rainbow coming from them. The object was round and silver in color. It had no noticable seams or groves, it just appeared to be one solid object. It was domed on the top. What seemed like eternity was probably only a few minutes as each of us stared at the object, without anyone ever uttering a word! It is hard to describe what happened when the object left. It was like almost watching something disappear before your eyes. You could see a small movement and then a slight movement eastward and it was gone, faster than the human eye or brain can comprehend. I must have stood there only seconds after the object was gone. I walked directly to my car and drove off. I never asked anyone anything. I was engaged to my wife at the time and as soon as i got back to Houston, I told her my story. She wanted to know how much I had been drinking.!! My story proved out as the l0:00 news came on. The local Houton TV had picked up on the story and had a news crew there to interview the sheriff. He told about the sighting and said that he had the names of all the witnesses except one and that witness had driven off before he could get the name. Well, that witness was me. Back in the early 60's (I was 23 years old) some people that talked about ufo's or flying saucers we're considered a little crazy. I didn't want to fall into that catagory !! Years passed and one day my wife, who was teaching school at the time in Alief,tx brought home a book that one of her students had brought to school. It seems that the subject of ufo's had come in the classroom. This young student brought a book of classified sightings of ufo's The young mans name Mark Clark. In this book was the sighting which I have just described!!! The book also gave a description of the sighting (unexplained) a list of witnesses and a statement that one witnesss drove away. I have wished many times that I had stuck around. I hope that someone that was there on that day will get in touch with me. The vision of the ufo has never left my mind in 32 years and I sincerely hope I can talk to a fellow ufo Jewett witness. It took many years for me to talk about what I had seen and I"m sure some listened to my story and thought I was either lying or making it up. That's okey now. I know what I saw and I know it was real. If you had been there, you would not be doubting the existance of ufo"s!!!!! There is no logical explanation that I've seen or read about that has swayed my opion over all these years that what I witnessed at a very close range was a UFO. Buddy bbanner @ swbell.com
