Strange Cigar Shaped Alien Craft Encounter In North Carolina

OCTOBER 2000 ………ROCKY MOUNT NORTH CAROLINA

Case 108695: After football practice, Gerald and his son were returning from football practice near Rocky Mount, North Carolina. It was about 8:30 PM. They had just passed a local farmhouse when they both observed a dark, cigar-shaped object, inclined at an angle and moored to a water pumping station.

Confused, they pulled off the rural road a few hundred feet from the pumping station and simply watched for about 10 minutes to see what would happen. Gerald described it as, “It was a dark cigar-shaped object with flashing lights of red, green, orange and white going around it in the oblong direction.”

There were no pumping station attendants (human or non-human) to be seen, only the oddest of scenes that were otherwise incomprehensible. At the end of the 10-minute observation period, the hovering cigar released itself from the pumping station and gradually rose and followed a local highway westward.

The father and son, quite bemused, followed the cigar as it gradually gained altitude, and at one point, according to Gerald, “in a flash of light it was gone”. The water pumping station was apparently near a river, most likely a small river, as the UFO might have otherwise entered a major river. Submerged, the UFO might have been able to take on a water supply unobserved.
