Hunter with video camera captures round object he's seen before.

I am a newspaper reporter who interviewed a man about video footage he shot while hunting a deer on Lookout Mountain. He said the mystery object had a reflective glare like the metallic exterior of a passenger jet, but it did not move like one. It maneuvered more like a helicopter, although he saw no rotor blades and it suddenly, abruptly went straight up and out of view. This gentleman had no idea what to do with the footage and contacted the local newspaper. He'd seen it 5 years ago and again before this, but this was the first time he had a video camera. I found this website while researching for the story. We reported on numerous UFO sightings in Fyffe, Alabama and strange cattle mutilations that suddenly ended. I, myself, saw what the people were seeing back in 1993. I don't know if it's space aliens, but something freaky is going on here.

NUFORC Note:

Digitized image was forwarded to NUFORC for our inspection. It appears to be quite indistinct in the digitized version. We do not know what the witness managed to photograph. PD
