Tennessee teen reports low flying UFOs and ‘ape-like’ creature

A Tennessee witness at Cedar Grove reported multiple, low flying, triangle-shaped UFOs moving overhead and a “black, ape-like” creature on the ground, according to testimony in Case 66916 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The reporting witness, age 14, and his 12-year-old brother, stepped outside after a recent snowfall about 9:30 p.m. on January 15, 2015, when triangle-shaped objects were first seen in the sky overhead.

“They had two red lights on the back corners and one white light in the front corner,” the reporting witness stated.

The witnesses then seemed to think that they were noticed on the ground by the objects.

“It was like they didn’t notice us and then they did. The objects were about 500 feet in the air and when they noticed us they came down to about 60 feet above us.”

The witness said his dog lowered his head as though something was bothering him. He described the objects.

“The objects made no sound at all. They stayed about 50 yards away and circled us. There was about three of them.”

Then a second, orb-like object appeared.

“This went on for about 10 minutes and then a white orb lit up about 20 feet over us and zipped off about 20 feet and disappeared.”

The younger brother became afraid and moved toward the house, but had another encounter along the way.

“After that my brother got freaked out and went back to the house and that’s when he saw a black, ape-like creature looking at us. He started yelling at me and that’s when it took off into the front yard and disappeared into the darkness. After this we went back inside and said we wouldn’t tell anyone.”

Back inside the house, the reporting witness was watching MUFON’s “Hanger 1: The UFO Files” on the History channel – which triggered him to report the sighting to MUFON.

The witness reported the incident on June 22, 2015. Tennessee MUFON is investigating.

  1. True believer that more sightings are being captured. We have a convincing light movement of about 8 – 9 Ufo’s captured on video from woodland hills ca. It’s absolutely not from this planet. and the formation they were flying over was seen over los angeles and elsewhere. Very cool.

  2. Why would anyone think that rational people would believe two pimple-pocked glue sniffers? These stories are ridiculous.

  3. Red flag warning to this eyewitness account: the kids were watching a UFO show on tv before this happened.
