UFO sighting near Arlington, Tennessee (2012)

On New Year's Eve at his former partner's parents' rural property, the witness went outside with his dog to smoke. The dog grew agitated as a tiny green speck in the distance grew into a pulsating sheet-like light moving slowly toward them about ten feet off the ground. He went upstairs to get help, found everyone long asleep, and realized hours had passed though he felt only briefly outside.

Man and wife have separate strange encounters in same area

In the early morning the witness was at a rental mobile home property with his wife to check on tenants and let dogs out. The dogs refused to leave the porch while reacting to movement in an adjacent tobacco field.

The figures moved toward tall grass and the tree line, a tree across the road shook as if climbed, a musty odor was noticed, and mashed grass trails were found the next morning.

Partial sighting in Tennessee

The witness also relayed a friend's solo report of something large jumping tree to tree with a shadow passing overhead.
