Full Description & Details

While waiting for school bus around 6:45 am I spotted brilliant blue glowing disc with small tail traveling west to east just north of Bays Mountain Park, it continued this course until it was obscured by the mountain itself.

It path would have the object traveling directly over the Holston Ammunition depot.

A few nights before the sighting was a meteor shower, for years I dismissed the sighting as a meteor, but after seeing the UFO film from 1952 of the UFO's over Washington DC, I made a connection and relaized that what I saw was the exact same object as seen in the video.

Holston Ammunition, which is now BAE, was developing and constructing RDX explosives at this time.

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

Possible large nickel, iron meteor.

Witness Background

My background would make me uncreditable, so I will just say that I'm a drunk hillbilly that likes goats and such.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I believe that not one single explanation can explain what they are.

Other Comments

Bays Mountain, where I saw the object is rumored to have been hollowed out by the US Army. It is an ordnance depot and the north side of the mountain is an Army Reserve. The mountain side and adjacent land is literally dotted with clearings of unknown purpose. It has been a local legend that there are nuclear missile silos located on the mountain, to use as a defense in case of nuclear attack on the depot and Eastman Chemical Corp.
