Idahoans Report Strange Lights

Idaho Falls (UP) – Strange lights have been sighted in the skies near Idaho Falls again – this time by officials of the Trinity Methodist Church.

The Rev. Miss Ernestine Hitchcock, assistant church pastor, said she saw a brilliant white light moving across the sky Wednesday night. It was also witnessed by Mrs. Mary Ann Moore, secretary of the church.

Bill McCurdy, Idaho Falls, said he and three passengers saw an orange light explode beside his car earlier this week. He was about four miles west of the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) site at the time, he said.

So, what does this all mean? It was 1954 and two devoted church ladies living out there in the boondocks of Idaho, near the AEC site, took the time to report a mysterious white light moving across the western night sky. As Dana Carvey so often exclaimed in his church lady character, “Isn’t that special?”

Then, wouldn’t you just know it, a guy named Bill McCurdy and his three traveling buddies actually get to witness an exploding orange light beside his car while driving only four miles from the AEC Idaho site!

Makes me wonder about all those Pecan Park Eagles I saw coasting across the skies of Southeast Houston off the Gulf Freeway when I was growing up after World War II. – Who knows? Maybe they weren’t eagles after all. Just maybe, like these credible UFO Idaho sightings from 1954 reported again here, they too were all part of a larger plan for the invasion of earth by beings from an alien world!

Maybe the Eagles were simply part of what the great Rod Serling used to call – The Twilight Zone.
