Location: Oneida, TN, USA

Shape: Rectangle

Two children walking along highway saw unfamiliar object in sky.

My sister (age 10 years)and I (age 11 years) were walking US Highway 27 about a mile south of Oneida.

Suddenly, from over a hill, appeared a large, silver white rectantular shaped object.

We watched, transfixed, as it climbed skyward, flapping like a sheet in the wind, until it was out of sight.

I have no sense of time lapse. But the surreal object scared the beejeebies out of us both, so much so that we never spoke of the object for many, many years.

We are now 68 and 70 years old and still have no idea what we saw!
