Historic North Carolina
A North Carolina witness at Hickory recalled an encounter with a slow-moving, disc-shaped object at 9:30 p.m. on June 10, 1966, according to testimony from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
The report indicates that the object was initially seen by the witness as a pinpoint in the distance.
“Within 20 seconds, it moved into our area and slowed down to a low speed,” the reporting witness stated. “It was dark and we could see only the lights but I estimate it to have been 300 feet in diameter and a perfectly round, disc or squat cylinder, with a slightly domed top, and perhaps 50 feet tall.”
The report included details that the object had a “band of lights around the perimeter through which lights pulsated in a teardrop pattern.”
“The faster the ship moved, the faster the light pattern went around the perimeter. The lights were white.”
The report includes details that the witness assumed it had a domed top because there was “a blue light on top that moved around in a semi-spherical motion.” The object was listed as “utterly silent and incredibly swift.”
The witness commented that if you did not look, you would not have known it was there. There were other witnesses but no one spoke of it.
“The object disappeared over a hill behind us and did not reappear.”
The report included no images, filed on November 9, 19989. Hickory is a city in Catawba County, NC, population 43,490. Witness quotes were edited for clarity.
