Full Description & Details

To whom it may concern: A day in my life hasn't gone by that I haven't thought of this UFO sighting because it was so frightening. I remember for sure it was Halloween Night and I am almost positive it was 10-31-88, although it could have been a year ealier or a year later, but I really don't think so (but I do realize sometimes our minds play tricks on us). Me and about 10 of my friends were really bored one Halloween night because we had nothing to do, so one my friends remembered an old house North of Tryon, Oklahoma, where he had grown up, that was supposed to be haunted. For the fun of it we drove out there and it was in the middle of nowhere. It was a clear starry night and we were standing in the road when we noticed an old satellite tumbling across the sky, and we hadn't seen one of those in years. Looking at the satellite, something far off in the distance caught our eye, it was as far away as our eyes could see right at the moment. It flew closer and closer and then flew almost directly over the top of us. It was flying slowly so we watched it for what seemed like at least 5 minutes or more, so we had plenty of time to observe it very well. It was a huge heavy dark-colored triangular shaped craft with the huge orange ball of light coming out the center of the bottom of it. It made no sound whatsoever. It could have been a flying low or it could have been a very large craft flying high, but we could not sense the altitude of the craft, mainly because it was silent. It had no other lights other than the orange ball, that reminded me of the sun when it is setting. I remember it seemed to fly almost directly over us and I was terrified to death. I had been watching too many movies I guess, and was afraid it would harm us. But it just kept going, looking as if it was flying kind of in a Northwesterly direction. We watched it go until we could not see it any more. It never did change speed, it appeared to be just floating or sailing through the air. My friends and I were just in shock. We couldn't even speak. About 5 minutes later a group of helicopters, 5 of them, in a "W" formation came out of the east, but it didn't seem to me as if they were going in quite the same direction as the craft, they were flying more in a westerly direction, but I am not sure. We scoured all the local papers the next day and if anyone saw what we saw, it didn't make the papers. We didn't report it to anyone. We were afraid they would say we had been drinking or something, but we had not been drinking. I often wondered if this craft had been sighted by anyone else that night. I have watched many shows on TV to see if anyone else ever saw a craft that looked like this one, but most people don't describe a triangular shape. It was not shaped like a stealth plane, it was a lot longer. I will try to draw it and fax you the drawing. Thanks for giving me an outlet to speak after all these years. I have lost track of most of those friends I was with that night, but I am going to try to reach one of them and see if they have anything to add about this sighting that I might have forgotten.---Dell Livsey---

Other Comments

Is there any way to know if anyone else in the country saw this UFO on that day besides me and my friends? Is there any way to find out if anyone else has seen any UFO that matches this same description?
