The witness was “patrolling on County Road 2570” on her way to County Road 833 at 8:47 p.m. on August 24, 2014, when the object was first seen and thought to be part of a tower. She pulled her vehicle over to the side of the road.

“This huge, very bright object, went up and traveled slowly to my right,” the witness stated. “I then heard this jet-like noise that ended as quickly as it started. I put the truck in gear and went down to County Road 833 and turned around. By this time it was coming back to the spot I had first noticed it.”

The witness again parked her vehicle and while watching the object noticed lights on top of it.

“They went from one side to the other and had a rhythm in its own pace.”

The object then moved south and out of sight.

“It scared me to putting that truck in gear and hauling it straight back to my job site. I told a co-worker and I just kept going on and on about it. Took me about three hours to settle down and I particularly did not want to get back in the truck and go anywhere – period.”

The next day at work, the witness reviewed the area where the object was hovering.

“So the next day, going back to work, I saw that the place the UFO was hovering over is power lines from the power plant.”

The witness noticed power lines in the area where the object was originally hovering. Pictured: Fairfield, TX, near county route’s 2570 and 833. (Credit: Google Maps)

  1. I had my 3-minute sighting in Dallas on June 13, 2014.
    Like this witness, I was pretty upset for several days.
    Fairfield is about an hour south of Dallas.
    It would be great to get together with folks like this and compare notes.
    Perhaps MUFON could build a networking whereby this would be possible.
    A grass roots base for MUFON could only help the cause!
