We were close enough to see windowsMy date and I had gone to see the hit movie of the summer of 1968, Planet of the Apes. After the movie, we went to park and "neck". We were moving slowly down a dirt road that I had never gone down before. I looked to read my date's face to ensure she was not opposed to stopping for a while. What I saw on her face may best be described as pure fear. Her eyes were fixed on something in the air coming right at us. As it went overhead, it could not have been more than 500 feet in the air and no more than 1000 to 1500 feet away. The car did not have air conditioning so the windows were all down. I sat and watched and listened as this craft went by. There was not any sound that could be heard other than the purr of the car. It was about the size of a large passenger jet. You could see a row of windows that were near the bottom of the bowl just before the shape flatten out to make a saucer shape. The window lights would go out one at a time in a series so that all of the lights were on but one. It gave the appearence that the upper part of the craft was moving counter clockwise. The bottom of the craft had a red light on the leading edge and every quarter that blinked but moved in the opposite direction. My date did not want to look at this and I think I was telling her that she had to to make sure that she can confirm what I am looking at. How much she did look, I do not know. After it had passed and I was certain that it was making no sounds, I turned the car around and took off in the direction the craft was going. We hadn't gone any distance before it was out of sight. I continued on down the road until I came to a few houses where some men were standing outside their homes. I stopped and asked if they had seen anything strange. One of the men was an older black man who responded by saying, "yesssir, we just saws us a flying saucer" Later that night I called the airport but they said it was probably nothing. I never dated or saw the young woman I was with again. I went off to college and she stayed in Greensboro. For the past ten years, I have tried to locate her but no one in our high school class knows where she is living. I know that this is an old report, but better late than never.((NUFORC Note: Date of incident may be approximate, although the witness does not indicate that fact. PD))
