- So you think that sighting UFO's, unidentified flying objects,
- only happens in the movies? Try telling this to the residents of
- Fiffe, Alabama, a northeastern farm town of about 1300. The story
- began about three Friday evenings ago, when Donna Saylor was
- returning home with her sister.
-
- Donna Saylor, First Eyewitness, Fiffe, Alabama:
- "It was 7:30 I'd say, and my sister and I were coming home from
- town and we spotted a bright light over in the sky just above the
- treetops. We commented on how... you know... what it was and how
- low it was and stuff and the fact that it wasn't moving. We
- looked right straight at it, and we got to look at it about 5 to
- 8 seconds or so and the object just disappeared."
-
- Greta McHenry, WBMG Action News, Birmingham, Alabama:
- After Mrs. Saylor's sighting of the UFO, she contacted the Fiffe
- Police Department around 8:40 P.M. Assistant Police Chief Fred
- Words and the Police Chief responded to the call. While
- traveling DeKalb County Road 43, they too noticed a large lighted
- object overhead. They stopped to investigate.
-
- Fred Works, Assistant Police Chief, Fiffe, Alabama:
- "I watched it, it just got bigger and bigger and had lights kind
- of down under it shining back on the bottom of it. And we never
- heard a sound from it. It appeared to be no sound whatsoever."
-
- Greta McHenry, WBMG Action News, Birmingham, Alabama:
- Since the first reported sighting, other Fiffe residents say
- they have seen a similar object.
-
- Rhonda Worley, Eyewitness, Fiffe, Alabama:
- "It's really hard to explain it until you've seen it for
- yourself, but it was, it was something I've never seen before."
-
- Greta McHenry, WBMG Action News, Birmingham, Alabama:
- Those who have seen "it" say that they want to see "it" again,
- to perhaps make sense out of something that remains yet
- unexplained.
