It came out of the sky!
|
It came out of the sky!  Be advised; this is long! If you choose to read, this is a story that will come from the mouth, ears and the eyes of an 9 year old boy. I'd like for you to determine where the truth lies, or where in lies the truth, that is if you care to comment. Sub title; "UFOs, G-men and the 101st Airborne!" On Saturday July the 13th of 1963 when I was 9 years old around 8 am I was out in the front yard hitting rocks with visions of becoming a major league baseball player. My dad was getting ready to go to work as the parts manager for the Chevrolet place in the small town we lived near in Tennessee some 12 miles away with us living out in the country. I heard something that sounded like a fast freight train. I looked toward the western sky seeing a great big fireball coming low at an angle headed down out of the sky with a trail of fire that looked like a mile long behind it. In the front of the fireball it was grey looking but shiny and most certainly wasn't an airplane for it had no wings. I hollered at Daddy to come see and as he stepped out onto the front porch he said, "God a mighty damn! What the hell is that?" He then hollered for my mom to come see as it was going down out of sight. Whatever it was we would find out in a little while landed on old Mr. Gilmore's property about a mile away shaking the ground at our house from the impact of it's landing on his farm. Within an hour we heard whatever it was burnt up old man Gilmore's watermelon and cantaloupe patch along with ruining all of his tomatoes and everything. His corn starting popping right on the cob people would say. His cows and horses and mules took off a running leaving a healthy trail of piss and shit as they ran going to the next county over before they stopped some 15 miles away. His chickens took off flying shitting through the air flying higher than the birds ever thought of going and were never seen again. The hogs were barbecued on the impact of whatever it was and were ready to eat. Every female and cat in the whole area all became pregnant immediately along with old man Gilmore's young wife some 25 years younger than him. (Old man Gilmore was just 51 years old but looked much older) I had gotten to know Mrs. Gilmore well over the past year riding by on my bike and I liked her a lot. I became worried because a few days later she would come up missing. Old man Gilmore was raising nine kinds of hell over it all especially a while later when a stream of Army trucks came pouring in on his property around noon. We heard he raised so much hell that some Government man gave him a shot or something and it put him to sleep. Old man Gilmore wouldn't wake up for nearly two days. It really excited me seeing these Army men coming in though. I'd only ever seen the ones on TV. I got on my bike to go check out old man Gilmore's property as my mama hollered at me, "Come back here you little bastard!" Naturally I went on because I didn't have sense enough to listen to my mama. But I didn't make it up the road very far at all because there were some Army men with rifles along with about six of these men wearing sunglasses and suits in nearly 100-degree heat weather and humidity that you could cut with a knife to go along with it. There was this one great big ugly man that I would find out later on in life was 6 ft 5 inches tall and weighed 235 lbs. He must a been the boss of everyone because he told me, "Turn around and go home boy! NOW!" I told him, "I wanna go see what that was that came out of the sky." He said, "Did you hear what I said you little fucking bastard? Get your little ass out of here or I'll kick it good for you. And you didn't see nothing in the sky ya hear me. Your eyes are playing tricks on ya." I said, "No their not. I saw something on fire in the sky come down over here somewhere and mama said it was on old man Gilmore's property." The big Government man said, "You little rotten of a bitch, get gone now! He stomped on the ground coming toward me and so I left immediately because I didn't want this big man whipping me for sure. About the time I turned to go I saw him pick up a radio and start talking on it as he was pointing me up the road looking just real mad. Anyways I was riding back toward the house and I turned off on a tractor path that would lead to old man Gilmore's property in a long way around the horn about away. It took a lot longer to get there going that route but I made it in about 45 minutes. I arrived on my bike at old man Gilmore's property by the edge of the woods. I saw these Army boys in a line on the ground on the their hands and knees looking for something on the ground and moving real slow while they were doing it. They all had patches on their arms that looked like an eagle and so did the Army boys up on the road at that road block. I figured they were all in the same club or something. I could see where whatever it was that had come out of the sky had hit the ground and as it went on it was burying itself into the ground the length of a football field and as wide as a main highway. It had stopped right in front of old man Gilmore's big barn. I could see five of them Army tanks with big white stars on them surrounding the hole it had made there. I'd never seen any Army tanks before other than on TV. I was all excited. There was a great big green crane that had a big white star on it just like the tanks had on them there also along with a green 18 wheeler truck. I could see a whole bunch of men looking like they were wearing them shiny space suits or some other stuff standing around there also. It looked like they were holding some shiny looking vacuum cleaners in their hands toward the ground. I'd only seen that kind of space stuff on TV before too. Why there must have been about 500 or so of Army people, along with them men wearing suits and these people wearing space suits around there that day. I wanted to get a closer look at them Army tanks so I rode my bike around the edge of the woods to get closer. When I got about 500 ft. from them I got snatched up by my T-shirt right off of my bike real fast by some man in an Army uniform that had a whole bunch of stripes on his arm that was hiding or something in the woods with some other Army men. It looked like they were pitching tents to camp out. That Army man was a big fella too and he said, "What-chu doing here ? You fucking crazy or something!? How the hell did you get here?" He carried me under one arm and my bike in his other arm and boy was he cussing. I never even heard of some of the cuss words he was saying at that time. Then this other Army man that had more stripes than the man who had a hold of me came walking up real fast and pointed at me and said to the other man, "What the hell is this shit? Where'd this God damn come from? Damn we're in some shit now and ain't been here long." Then this other Army man came walking up. I thought he must a been one of them Knights from the round table from over there in England or something because them men with them stripes were falling all over them selves a calling him sir something fierce. It was sir this and sir that. They were all three talking so fast and about something I never heard of in that Army talk that I just didn't understand them at all. I noticed that sir man had a pair of shiny birds of some kind on his collar though and on his hat. Then that sir man asked the two men with stripes, "How'd this young man get into this sector without you knowing it?" They didn't have an answer for him I know that. Then that sir man asked me, "Which direction did you come from ." I pointed and said, "Over yonder a ways.�" He then looked at the man with more stripes than the other did and said, "Sergeant Major carry this young man and his bike down to checkpoint no. 3 and see what special agent Winters and them Government boys want to do about him." I figured that man's name was Sergeant Major the way that sir man was talking to him. Then them men with the stripes saluted that sir man just like they did on TV, so I saluted him too. That sir man looked down at me and smiled and turned and walked away. That Sergeant Major put me and my bike in a jeep and I asked him, "Where we going Sergeant Major?" He said, "I'm a carrying you to see them Government boys to see what they want to do with you like the Colonel said." I said, Who's Colonel?" He said, "Don't worry about that shit you little fuck up." Then he said something that I can still hear so clearly today, "Boy they just might send your ass to Nevada where you probably belong." That didn't make a lot of sense to me back then though because I thought he was talking about another country or something and I said, "Never heard of that place before. Where's that?" He said, "Aw shut up would ya?" He seemed to be real mad about something. He carried me right down to that road block where all them men in suits had been that had told me to split on home. That boss of them men in them suits at the road block that had got on to me an hour or so earlier didn't like seeing me again at all I'm here to tell ya. That Sergeant Major man told that big ugly Winters man that he had found me over near the "incident," and boy that big ugly suit wearing man got just real mad and his face turned red as a beet. He said a bunch more cuss words I'd never heard off before too. He got so mad he threw my bike nearly into the top of a tree and said, "You nosy little prick! Show me how you got over there now or you ain't ever gonna see your parents again." That scared hell out of me so I showed him. You know what they did? They even put a roadblock on the tractor path. That didn't make no sense to me at all cause a car couldn't go through there anyways. Then that big ugly suit wearing man got into the jeep with Sergeant Major and me and told me, "Show us the way to your house. Your dad home?" I told him, "No, but my mom is." He said, "Good enough! Listen , (and he was hollering) you're not to ever say anything about what you've seen today, ever! If you do you'll never ever see your parents again, and something else more terrible than you'll ever know can also happen. Do you understand me ?" I said, "Yes sir." And that was all he said till we got to our house. When we got there my mom was standing on the porch because she saw the jeep a coming. I got out and special agent Winters got out and he was all nice to my mom saying, "Maam we found your up the road a ways interfering with Government business. Can you keep him away?" My mom said, "Yes I can. What Government business are you talking about?" He said the famous words that I would some day come to say myself, "I'm not at liberty to say." Then he said, "Good day Maam." I was mad cause he was acting so nice when he knew I knew he was mean as hell. My mama whipped me for leaving and being up there messing around with those people before I could even tell her what had happened. Then my daddy kicked my butt too when he got home from work that day so I didn't bother telling them what I had seen that day either. Would my parents have believed me back then when it all happened? I never did tell anyone. I would go to work for the Government, and start training in August of 1972. The truth is out there! The main title of this story came from Credence Clearwater Revival's rendition of 'It came out of the sky.' "Oh, it came out of the sky, landed just a little south of Moline. Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't believe what he seen. Laid on the ground and shook, fearin for his life. Then he ran all the way to town screamin it came out of the sky."

I don't think it was too long, and I just reread it. I thought I left a comment last time, after I caught your blog link off the AL. Very interesting...story? Thanks for the comment on my 'little' rant over there, though. The rest of them, to quote a friend of mine, are being "butt knobs".

Holy shit what a story. My heart goes out to that 9 year old. Must have been a bitch growing up and wondering and not knowing for sure. What ever became of the missing pregnant Mrs. Gilmour? Talk about taking a trip and never leaving the farm, damn!  don't tell everybody...
| ||||||
|
Thats right qbnur! Mrs. Gilmore? Remember I was 9 years old. Mrs. Gilmore wasn't old man Gilmores wife. It was his daughter. She left when the Government people did and went to work in the desert in Nevada. I met her there in 1976. Long story to this. ~ ~
