From The Files of The Seminole Producer

ROSEBUD, Tex. (UPI) – Faye Seeley and Faye Hileman thought the bright object shining in the darkness of the central Texas sky was a star. Then it started following them.

“It was so quick, I didn’t see in move,” Mrs. Seeley said Monday. “It was on the left side of the car one second and on the right side the next.”

The women were returning to their homes in Rosebud with their children Sunday night from Buffalo, Tex., where they had left their husbands deer hunting.

They first saw the triangular shaped object about 8:15 p.m. and thought it was a star that alternately brightened and dimmed. Then it began to pace their car.

“It came down to about two car lengths off the ground and just sat there like it was daring us to come closer,” Mrs. Seeley said.

Mrs. Seeley, who was driving the car, said she turned the car around and sped off in the opposite direction.

“It rose back into the air a little distance and began to follow,” Mrs. Hileman said. “It came quickly for a while as if trying to catch up. But when we saw the lights of a car up ahead it just slowed and followed.

“When we caught up with the other car the light from the object dimmed and it went straight up into the air and out of sight.”

Mrs. Seeley took the long way home and it wasn’t until late Sunday night the sighting was reported to Justice of the Peace Joe Kilgore, who called the Highway Patrol. A highway patrolman and a policeman said the women and the children must have seen something “because they were so upset.” -oOo Slants –Deputy Court Clerk Karen Sosbee doing a bit of vocalizing while at work… Glover Mainord telling a deer story… Kim Massey looking forward to a delightful Thanksgiving holiday… Members of the Roosevelt-Central Seventh Grade Elementary School Band group reporting they like the idea of practicing in the high school band room where they have more space… Band Director David Vanderwalker started this practice idea several weeks ago after combining the Seventh Grade sections … Police Sgt.
