UFO Sighting in Gadsden, Alabama on 1969-06-15 15:45:00 – Triangler shape . domed top. underside black with triangle shaped circles. windows. panels inside windows

The following exert is an eye witness statement. Please read into it what you will. This has been reported to mufon who I am sure are investigating:

I was at my mom and dad’s home. i looked at a strange ball of light in the place where i thought venus would be in the sky. i loved to star gaze. so it was in the evening hours just before dark. the object was a huge bright object. i ran and got my nephew and big brother and we all observed it. the one object slit into 4 objects one went in each direction. the mother ship as i call it shot straight up in 2 seconds it was gone. the one that came towards us descended down until it leveled off it seemed just a little more than tree top height. i was very young about 12 year old. but i remember seeing the object as i was up close. it was triangle shaped with the top being a little domed shaped. it had no sharp edges. the area where the lights were, were flat panels. one panel will light then move to the next until it made a full circle around the ship. when the light in one panel would go out i could see a metallic panel through the glass. the craft flew until it stopped over the northeast sky and sat for a couple of hours. at this time my brother called the radio station and reported it. they said it had been reported and a jet was in route. we heard and seen the jet. when the jet got close to the object it shot straight up and was gone in seconds. the dates i gave may not be completely right because i am 60 now it’s hard to remember exactly the dates but the images of the ship are burned in my memory. i could tell an artist the full description. the underside was circles of triangler shaped circles that had 7 circles until they reached the middle. it was kinda burnt looking maybe the propulsion area. the object did not make a sound as it flew over. unfortunately we didn’t have a camera. we couldn’t afford one back then.
