I've never seen anything like ³o³ ³o³it. I don't know what it was; but I do know it was not ³o³ ³o³an airplane or a helicopter." ³o³ ³o³ Sue ran to her back door, flung it open and peered ³o³ ³o³into the cold 5 a.m. darkness. "It was moving below ³o³ ³o³the treetops about three car-lengths along my back ³o³ ³o³yard fence." she pointed to show the spot. "I could ³o³ ³o³tell its image by the red and green iights pulsating ³o³ ³o³on it. It was about half the length of my 65-foot ³o³ ³o³trailer." ³o³ ³o³ She stood, transfixed, until the object guided to ³o³ ³o³the end of her trailer, out of sight; then she ran to ³o³ ³o³the front door, hoping to keep it in view. ³o³ ³o³ "I never saw it again," she shrugged. "It just ³o³ ³o³disappeared." ³o³ ³o³ Sue immediately called her mother, Shirley Akins. ³o³ ³o³ The first thing my daughter asked me was do you ³o³ ³o³believe in UFO's? said Mrs. Akins. "I told her any ³o³ ³o³thing was possible. I do believe my daughter. She is a ³o³ ³o³level-headed person." ³o³ ³o³ Mrs. Akins and Sue said a co-worker who lives in the ³o³ ³o³area mentioned at work Thussday she heard the same ³o³ ³o³sound around 5 a.m. And later that evening, at 6:30 ³o³ ³o³p.m., Williams Akins of Adamsburg reported seeing the ³o³ ³o³object, which Sue sketched in the typical shape of ³o³ ³o³`fat-in-the-middle-and-tapered-on-the-ends." ³o³ ³o³ "I didn't want to say anything about this," Ms. ³o³ ³o³Johnson added. "I know people think you're crazy if ³o³ ³o³you do. Normally, I'm the type person where I don't ³o³ ³o³believe anything like that until I see it for myself. ³o³ ³o³Thursday was just a normal morning for me." ³o³ ³o³ Ms. Johnson says she doesn't necessarily believe in ³o³ ³o³aliens, but feels the craft is nothing that mainstream ³o³ ³o³America is aware of. ³o³ ³o³ "I don't know what this thing was. I was sizing it ³o³ ³o³up from one end to the other. I stood there for ³o³ ³o³several seconds. I was so amazed at what I was ³o³ ³o³seeing, it just blew me away." ³o³ ³o³ Ms. Johnson said she knew very little of the ³o³ ³o³internationally publicized Fyffe UFO spotted by ³o³ ³o³numbers of residents (including Fyffe Police) in Feb. ³o³ ³o³1989, but her description of the Dogtown UFO closely ³o³ ³o³resembled those offered in Fyffe. ³o³ ³o³ Mrs. Akins has notified the Federal Aviation ³o³ ³o³Administration, who suggested she call Agent Glenn ³o³ ³o³Slaughter with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ³o³ ³o³Attempts to reach Slaughter in Gadsen on Friday were ³o³ ³o³unsuccessful. ³o³ ³o³ ³o³ ÀÄÁÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÁÄÙ ********************************************************************* * -------->>> THE U.F.O.
