I spent my career as a naval aviator and police officer in Texas. Today, at approximately 1:00 a.m. while I was traveling north from Branson to Springfield, Missouri on Hwy-65 I saw some really bright lights coming up behind me at a high rate of speed. I slowed down since the road is winding and hills. The lights came up behind me then made a sudden slow just following me. I thought It was some kids or drunks playing around until the lights disappeared altogether?. In about as quick as they appeared a light shown over the top of me really bright. I did not hear any humming nor did the electrical parts of my vehicle go out. I was able to observe this object slowly hover over the top of my vehicle in a northern direction. It appeared to be transparent in nature in a V-Shape it was approximately 30 meters from apex to base it resembled a flying V that the military had but it was not it was moving to slow (40-50 mph) it was not going any faster then my vehicle ( It was at this time my heart began to race) I was driving and staring at the object. It hovered over the top and in front of my vehicle for approximately 2-3 minutes I would guess then the lights disappeared and it was gone just as quickly as it came. I stopped my vehicle and got out looking around the mountain side and sky..there was no trace of this object and the night was cold and clear. I got the binoculars from under my passenger seat and tried a 360 degree look..no object. I know this object was not a military flying craft since I flew in the Navy as a rotocraft pilot. I am 48 years old and have never had this experience before. I was not that scared since I figured if they had wanted to do me harm, whomever they were they could have since I was all alone on the highway. One thing for sure I am a confirmed believer in UFO's whatever they might be. I served in Vietnam and retired as a police lieutenant from a major police department. I have always tried to look at things with logic and reason. This time I am a loss for logic or reason. I don't expect anyone to believe this with all the science fiction on television these days I suppose you will have to have it happen to you before you believe it, I don't know..I only know what happened this morning to me. P.S. I wished I had a car pool going at that time. |
