I'm not saying that people misidentified low level B-52s & FB-111As as UFOs (the flashing lights & noise would make it obvious those were aircraft), but somebody or something might have taken notice of some very high tech electronic emissions in a very rural setting. Just idle speculation by me, so take it for what it's worth.
Yes, I always tried to steer clear of Crab Orchard!
The B-52 connection has always intrigued me. I’m not military, but B-52’s coming over for decades, flying southwest to Northeast over our farm at, maybe, 500 feet, made an impression.
I wondered decades ago if there was non-human intelligence interested in the daily flights, or if the government messed with some advanced tech along that path, just to see the psychological effect.
But the stuff I’ve heard described would put advanced drone technology to shame.
One interesting quote from the mature lady who opened up to me: she said at “around 10:00 pm, the family on the West end of the ridge would call, and say ‘they’re back.’”
There were only four houses in the seventies in the real “hotspot,” on Ky. Hwy. 78. This one-mile stretch freakishly dives down low, adjacent to a Creek that runs parallel to the highway for half the mile length. The elevation is so low, you can only see, perhaps, 100/200 yards to parallel hill crests left and right: essentially the perfect area for low-level observations or encounters without being visible to many homes.
