UFO Report from Madisonville, Kentucky
Report: 819
July 15, 2000
This is my true UFO story. I was living on Lookout drive sometime around 2000 and 2005. I had a new telescope I had been using looking at planets and the moon. It was computerized so I never could figure out to get the tracking to work on it. I was really interested in astronomy at that time. I had read on the internet and heard the international space station was going to be flying over Owensboro and be visible to the naked eye. I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to see this. I remember 1 or both of the kids were home from college, must have been some kind of a school break. I was married to Carol and her kids were in the living room watching TV and talking. I told them the ISS was flying over and I was going outside to see it. It was a very clear night. About 15 minutes before the pass was suppose to happen I went to the front door and went outside and stood on the drive way. I was looking up all around and had figured out it was going to pass from south to north. The house faced north so it was easy to have a clear line of sight. I'm not sure of the time know it was late, maybe around 12 or 2 in the morning. After 5 or 10 minutes of looking I looked to the east to my right and was shocked and surprised to see some kind of space craft. It was enormous. It was HUGE !!! It looked like the space station laying down in the sky, only no solar panels. Compartment after compartment joined together. Not a typical disk shape saucer like they are described. It was flying low in the sky, and traveling very slowly. It was so close I could see windows and a very bright white light coming from them. And while viewing this I could make out silhouettes in front of some of the windows. It kept moving from south to north very slowly. It eventually moved out of my site and got smaller and smaller as it kept on its course to the north. When it disappeared I was left standing there by myself in total shock, and in awe of what I just saw. I just stood there for a couple minutes and was very confused. I was wondering if I should tell anyone. If someone else had told me the story I'm telling you now, I would think they're crazy or making it all up. I decided not to tell anyone. I opened the front door and went inside the house. I thought I must have been out there 15 or 20 minutes max. I went to the kitchen to get a coke and they yelled from the living room "did you see it?" I only answered "yeah" and then turned around and went to the bedroom and laid down. I was not myself the rest of the night. I felt numb all over and like confused. A feeling I only had that one time. I knew something happened out there but didn't know what. I eventually went to sleep a little before daylight. The next day the first thing I did was look at the newspaper. If I saw something that enormous, other people had to see it, right? Nothing ... not in the paper or the TV news, not anything. I began to question everything that happened last night. How could I be the only one who saw this ? I wasn't smoking any pot, drinking anything alcoholic or anything like that. I was stone cold sober, and very alert and aware. So I just put it to rest, and vowed to myself to never tell anyone, for fear of being accused of making the whole story up or looked upon as "crazy". For many years after that I run the story over and over in my mind, trying to make some kind of sense out of it, but never could. Understand ... I have absolutely nothing to gain whatsoever in telling this story. Years later, about 3 or 4 years ago here in Madisonville Kentucky I was thinking about what happened that night, like I had 100s of times before.This time it was different ... I was going through the events that happened that night ... BUT ... there was something else inserted into my memory besides me going out, seeing the craft, then going back in ... I saw myself laying on what looked like a stainless steel stretcher in side a room, with alien greys around me to my left and to my right. There was a grey that looked like he was in charge on an elevated chair a few feet from the bottom of the table. They grey in the chair seemed to be giving the greys around me some sort of instructions or directions ... he made no sound but was gesturing with his arms. As the they looked down at me they would turn and look at him as though waiting for further instructions ... I was fully clothed and not tied or harnessed to the table in any way. I remember there were no levers or button or lights or lights or anything like that on the counter at my head. Everything was very plain, no tools or instruments of any kind. Very strange to say the least. I wasn't complaining or objecting in any way. No one said a single word, but I knew they were communicating in some way. Then as soon as I observed all this, I was back in the driveway looking up at the sky, and opening the door to go inside. Very confused, weak and tired. Was I abducted or was it just a thought I had? I didn't know. I always thought was this a repressed memory or a false memory. Or was it a true memory of all the events that happened that night ? I know about false memories because I knew the danger of them with the subconscious. I studied that while in college learning hypnotherapy. Repressed memories I knew about them from reading about people being abducted in UFO cases. I to this day, still don't know.
