Unsolved UFO Files: UFO Sighting and Crop Circle Formation in Tennessee

• When: May and June 2007
• Where: Madisonville and Athens, Tennessee  (respectively)
• What: Silver disc hovering and moving at sharp angles, preceded by crop circle formation
  

Crop circles do not commonly show up in the United States, but in 2007, one appeared in Madisonville, Tennessee. A month later, a witness living about 15 miles away in Athens reported seeing a silver disc seemingly surveying the area with a searchlight and then shooting up at inexpliicable speed. Could these events be related? Read the witness testimony and check out the photo submitted to MUFON (case 78254) below:

THE DOGS BEGAN ACTING STRANGELY, WENT OUTSIDE@ EXACTLY 9 P.M.
OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CHOPPER W/ SPOTLIGHT APPROACHING FROM 1/4
MILE AWAY. AS IT CAME CLOSER @ TREE LEVEL W/WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SEARCHLIGHT (NOTICED IT WAS NOT EMITTING ANY SOUND). AS IT WENT BETWEEN
OUR LAWNS 120? FEET AWAY, WHAT APPEARED TO BE A SEARCH LIGHT WHICH LIT THE TREETOPS WAS ACTUALLY LIGHT EMITTED FROM THE UFO ITSELF, WHICH CAN
BE DESCRIBED AS A BRIGHT WHITE SILVER/GRAY LIGHT WITH NO TOP THAT MADE
NO SENSE. IT CROSSED THE STREET IN FRONT OF MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE @ WHICH
TIME ( I DID IN FACT CATCH A SHOT FROM AN OLD FLIP PHONE TO MY SURPRISE
7 YEARS LATER) IT CONTINUED ON AND STOPPED ABOVE A LARGE TREE & HOVERED. 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE & THEN IT WENT STRAIGHT UP SLOWLY A BIT, TURNED @ A 45 DEGREE ANGLE & SHOT OFF @ AN IMPOSSIBLE SPEED. I PHYSICALLY WITNESSED THE IMPOSSIBLE & ACTUALLY HAVE A CLOSE UP PHOTO WHICH IS NOT THE FLAT DISK THAT WAS WITNESSED AS IT APPEARED , BUT THE PHOTO SHOWS
THAT THE OBJECT HAD INDEED A TOP AND WAS NOT JUST A FLAT DISC.

15 MILES AWAY THERE WAS A CROP CIRCLE THAT WAS FOUND AND DEEMED TO
BE AUTHENTIC WHICH I ALSO HAVE A PICTURE OF.

ALMOST WISH I DIDN'T WITNESS THIS ... AS IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OFCREEPY & UNNERVING,YET INTERESTING @ THE SAME TIME. BUT I AM GLAD TO HAVE AN ACTUAL CLOSE UP DIGITAL PHOTO TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF WHAT INDEED WAS SEEN & WHAT CREATED THE CROP CIRCLE
