I was traveling south on U.S 83 around 10:00 p.m. A very bright light appeared and followed me for 2-3 miles. It was about 5-10 feet behind me about 5 ft. high. I went faster to get away from it. When I approached a farm house, I braked quickly to pull into the yard and the light disappeared. I went on home, shaking, and did not see it again. Because of the tag people received for telling such a story, I told only my parents. Then on Christmas Eve of that year the Amarillo, Tx. TV station reported such a story as told by some out-of-state people. It happened to them the same as it did to me. All of the law enforcement officers for 100 miles around fled to the scene but found nothing. I still did not tell it around to people other than family.I was a junior in college when this happened and am now a retired teacher. I do not want to be classified as a nut case. I just thought my story might be added to your list of unusual events in this area. I saw nothing other than the very bright light that appeared and disappeared as quickly. My uncle was with me and he is now long deceased.
