Full Description & Details

in 1993 my girlfriend and i decided to go to town to get some fast food...i had been working late..we left the house about 10 pm or maybe 10:30 pm .. we headed to sheperdsville from knob creek about a 15 minute drive.as we were heading east up the hill to sheperdsville..off to my left we seen a bright light coming trrough the trees..i looked ahead there was another car coming west.we both had to slam on our brakes or we would have hit it..it was going about 35 mph at the time it passed in front of us about 3 to 4 feet above the road(keep in mind this is real hilly region of this area) as it passed in front of us it looked like it was on fire with a firery tail it was about 15 feet tall about 25 feet long (including the tail)..i was stopped on the road..as the car headed west creeped by..as i watched it pass it dove down over the hill to my right started dodging trees and following a creek towards fort knox army base..then i was sure it wasent a meteor.we went and got our food and went home..i was really shocked for a while..soon after i was watching tv and the news mentioned that a police helecopter was involved with a ufo and described a very very similar description to what i had seen...from time to time over the years i would tell my story if the subject came up (around close friends and family only) till i seen paranormal witness...they had a segment on this event ...i almost crapped my pants..like i say i dont like cops but they were telling the truth...it almost hit my car and the car coming the other way..the altitude changes and directional changes tells me it had a pilot or some type of intelligence..it was not of this earth....

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

no way when i first saw it to my left it was below the tops of the trees about mid way up the trees height anything going in a straight line would have slammed into a tree...no,, this thing was trying to evade something ....and as far as i know there are not any aircraft without wings thats on fire

Witness Background

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

i thought that ufos were bullcrap tilli seen one ..............their real...look im not trying to do anything except confirm those cops sighting.and it pains me to support their story .but its not a story,, its a fact ..they seen the same thing i did..except i was 15 miles to their south after it left their area

Other Comments

to many people see these things for this not to be a factual account to their existance...the question is not if they exist or not its what do they want .
