UFO sighting near Southwick, Massachusetts (1965)

August 1965 night Southwick, Massachusetts

Account

Prior to the 1984 encounter, the witness was driving with passengers toward her mother's house when a bright light crossed her windshield and returned. Further down the mountain a very bright light sat low over a farmhouse and ditch. She drove past it within about 50 feet while it lit the area like daylight, then watched it rise, change shape, follow, and vanish near the lakes.
