Comments:Locals and officer claim to have seen a UFO in Charlotte, North Carolina

I saw something similar in Ridgecrest, North Carolina
While sitting on the front porch of our summer cottage in Ridgecrest, North Carolina (about 100 miles from Charlotte, NC), my father and I saw a similar orb following the contour of some mountains approximately five miles from where we were located.

The amazing thing about this object was its light and the way it moved. The light was a bright white. The closest thing I can think of to compare it to would be the high intensity lights. We watched it for over an hour just moving around the contours of the mountains over about a 15-mile area (the altitude is approximately 3500 feet and it's possible to see quite a distance). There were reports in the Charlotte paper the next day describing an object(s)--I don't remember their description--which had been seen by a number of people in Charlotte. I wish I could remember what year it was, but it was some time between 1989 and 1996. My son had recently died, and my mother was quite ill at the time, and I just can't remember what year it was. There should be a report in the Charlotte papers about it. J. Beach Fairfax, Virginia
