Appearance / Description of Object(s)

V shape, big bright light (like a headlight) in the front. Headlight went out and flashing lights appeared on sides of the object.

Size of Object(s)

From my distance to it, the trees looked small compared to it size. It was just above the trees and it covered at least 4 full sized trees from end to end.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

There was a single story home in front of us and then the trees not far from behind them.

Description of Area / Surroundings

We were in a subdivision that has swamp area behind it filled with trees. No millitary base in this immediate area, I believe the only base close is in Belle Chasse. We rarely see any type of millitary craft fly by.

Full Description & Details

This was back in 1989. My girlfriend and I were out for a night drive in the late evenning. We live across the river from an Airport in Luling, la. so there is usually plenty of sky activity with airplanes. I had always messed with my Girlfriend by saying there was a UFO in the sky (when it was just a plane). On this night ,It was about 11pm, I saw a rather large object above the treeline with a bright light in the front (like a headlight). I pointed at it an told my girlfriend "LOOK A UFO!" I stopped the car and got out (I was thinking at the time it was just an aircraft flying low) We both were looking at it and then I noticed there were no sounds comeing from this object, it was dead silent and not very far from us just above the treeline. Then something happened that made us realize this was not a regular aircraft. The "headlight" went off and suddenly different colored lights started flashing around the sides of the object. My girlfriend started to panic and jumped back in the car. I continued to watch the object slowly move over the trees until it was out of sight. It was very large, had no sound and nothing I had ever seen before. From what I could make out it looked like it was V-shaped. It is worth noting that on that same night a local police officer also reported seeing an object above the trees not far from where I had seen it. Also a few days prior to this incident a few of us were on our way back home from the movies about 10pm. We were traveling on a four lane road HWY 90 heading to luling area. There are trees that line both sides of the road. As we were traveling we all saw two (what we thought was) shooting stars come from behind us to the front. One was above the trees on our right and one was above our trees to the left. They were moving at identical speed and also were leaving a trail behind that quickly dissipated. They were moving at a very High rate of speed and exactly parallel to each other. I thought that was a little strange. A few days later I saw the object above the trees, dont know if they were related in anyway, but it seemed odd.

What prompted me to look up this stuff and even tell my story was a episode I saw on Unsovled mysteries they other day. One of the episodes on UFO's had some similar to what I had seen.

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

No, this was totally different than anything I've seen before. My brother is a pilot and I've seen a bunch of aircraft especially at night. No aircraft that I know of can be as large and as silent as it moves as this thing was.

Witness Background

I have been a Medic since 1986 and have worked on a Emergency Ambulance x20 yrs as of now, I also served as a Part time police officer 9 of those years.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I've read many things on UFO's growing up. Many of which were hoaxes and some unexplained. I had mixed feelings to whether beleive or not beleive until this incident happened, since then i've always been a believer.

Other Comments

My brother told me about the officer that seen the object the same night I did. He also stated that the dispatch center called the airport and air traffic control reported as not having any objects in that area on radar.
