SIGHTING ACCOUNT:
Scott was visiting his parents just west of
Wimberley, Texas during the weekend of February 24-25,
1990. The area is farmed out but is also generally
wooded near the Blanco Bend River. Between 10:00 and
10:30pm on the aforementioned date, Scott was walking
home from a nearby Dairy Queen. He was aware of the
time because he had just gotten a new watch recently
and was looking at it frequently. It was a quiet, dark
and very cool evening with clear skies and bright
stars. The new moon occurred on this night so the sky
was moonless.
Scott happened to look skyward in order to observe
some of the constellations, "And there it was!", he
said. His first thought was, "What the hell is THAT?" He was not afraid, he said, but was amazed. He had
considered himself to be sceptical about UFO's, so the
experience was impressive and highly elating.
The object was triangular in shape, but it was as
if the points of the triangle had been cut off. The cut was perpendicular to the bisection of the anglefor the
leading apex, and the other two points were either cut
the same as the leading apex or cut perpendicular to
the trailing edge of the UFO.
Scott raised his arm to an angle of about 60° as an
indication of the initial zenith angle relative to him. He could see only the underside surface of the object
and it was glowing faintly orange over it's entirety,
like very hot metal.There were no lights and no visible protuberances, but Scott did appear to notice what
appeared to be geometric shapes on the surface, formed
with straight lines. He believes that these were part
of the objects structure, rather than decals (painted). He said that the object was "remarkably similar" to
those depicted in the "Unsolved Mysteries" segment on
Belgium UFO's.
He was so taken by the once sighting that he never once gave thought to the possibility that other such
objects may have been in the area. Scott said that he
must have watched the object for ten minutes before it
passed out of site behind the trees. It never changed
speed, direction or altitude during that time. After
the object disappeared from view, Scott continued to
stand and look for several minutes, totally awestruck
by the experience.
Immediately upon returning home, Scott called the
Hays County Sheriff's Department and reported the
sighting. The Dispatcher told him that THERE HAD BEEN
OTHER CALLS REGARDING A UFO SIGHTING THAT VERY
EVENING!
Later, early Monday morning, Scott called a local
Austin FM Radio Station and told a DJ friend of his
sighting. After watching the NBC Network's UNSOLVED
MYSTERIES program on the Belium UFO's during the late
fall of 1991, Scott called their 800 number and
reported his sighting.
In March Of 1992, Scott called an Austin
Parapsychology group who referred him to someone named
John (doesn't remember last name). John pointed Scott
to some woman (name not remembered) who referred him to Austin MUFON. On March 23, 1992, Scott called Austin
MUFON and told Mrs. Ellen Stuart of his sighting. Ellen provided an outline of the sighting to me on March 28,
1992 at a regular MUFON meeting. Scott also called the
Hays County Sheriff's Department to get more
information on the UFO sighting. He was told that they
had no record of his report or any other report of the
UFO.
On May, 25, 1992 at 2:00pm CST, I met with Scott
at his residence and received his report.
