Witness Direction: S

Description: Early one morning, I awoke sometime between 3-4am. I found it disturbing because I could not determine the reason I had awoken. I then noticed my elderly siamiese cat looking at something outside. This itself would normally be odd. She was almost 11 and was showing her age. She never focused on anything. That is when a spotlight illuminated my room for an instant moving from N to W. My room at the time had 3 large windows faceing directly south and one window faceing west. I quikly pulled my blinds up on 2 of the south faceing windows hopeing to catch a glimps of it. My house is close to Cecil field airbase and our house was directly in the path of P-31 Orions on landing approach which normally fly E to W. Sometimes, our Sherriff's Bell helicopters fly over too which is what I expected to see. I was surprised to see a dark circular craft hovering over some nearby treelines. It had an Extremly bright spotlight which was very Blue in color. The craft was moving NNW and its path if faceing north took it just past my house and past my backyard. I estimated the craft 50-75 feet above the ground. As it moved, it was also moving its spotlight. After I had opened my blinds, the light had been refocased at the street 60 feet away (South of me) and just to the right of the craft straight down. Again, if faceing my house from the north, to the right of my house and south 50 feet on our street. It moved the light quikly north, then northwest and then again into my bedroom where it then stayed (obscureing my view of the craft for most of its time within my vision) focused as the UFO moved towards, and then past my house. I tried looking through my E facing window and watched the light as it moved to the neighbor's house directly behind mine and then northward out of view. I never heard of other reports and did not bring it up because it greatly disturbed me. I didn't belive myself and still try to contradict what I saw. I do belive it was a UFO for 2 reasons. 1, anytime I see a police helicopter that low, it is preforming an obvious circle. 2, There was absolutely NO sound or noise whatsoever. none.

Color/Shape: small dark circle. maybe 20 feet across, very bright spotlight, light was vivid blue in color.

Height & Speed: 20-30 MPH

TV/Radio/Press: No reports viewed the passing week.

The Unidentified & Creatures of the Outer Edge - Jerome Clark & Loren Coleman Back in print for the first time in decades! The Unidentified and Creatures of the Outer Edge, the classic early works of Jerome Clark and Loren Coleman, now in a special double edition with a new introduction by the authors. The Unidentified finds the links that connect supernatural folklore, religious visions, cryptozoology, and modern-day UFO stories. It documents episodes from the fringes of human experience and exposes what they may tell us about ourselves and the strange world we live in, where things – whether fairies, ghosts, divine apparitions, or ostensible extraterrestrials – may be even more mysterious than they seem. Creatures of the Outer Edge surveys the cryptozoologically bountiful decade of the 1970s (and more) with accounts of Mothman, Owlmen, Thunderbirds, Phantom Panthers, Devil Dogs, Texas Big Birds, and, yes, of course, Bigfoot. Some of the individually 'named' local Bigfoot creatures first appeared in this book, including Momo (Missouri Monster), Lake Worth Monster, Murphysboro Mud Monster, the Enfield Thing, El Reno Chicken Man, Noxie Monster, Navajo's Skinwalkers, and Yukon's Bushman. The book also introduced the now-iconic Dover Demon for the first time to the general public. In Association with Amazon.com
