NUFORC Sighting 34072

Occurred: 1972-09-15 03:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2003-12-22 20:40 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Panama City, FL, USA

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Lights on object

This was more of an audible sighting instead of a visual. At approx. 3:00 in the morning, my backyard suddenly lit up with a brilliant bright, white light. The light came from above the trees because the shadows looked like shadows at noon. There was no wind to disturb any of the trees or shrubbery. Above the trees were yellow and red strobing lights. Accompaning the bright lights was a very high pitch warbling sound (think typical sci-fi sound effect).

I pulled on some pants and ran outside with my dad but by this time the object had turned on what sounded like a jet engine and headed toward the east. The warbling continued but the primary sound was one of a jet.

With the departure of the object, everything returned to quiet.

We have rarely spoken about this incident.
