I’ve spoken with several who grew up/lived on Hwy. 78, the path from Stanford to Hustonville (and by extension, Liberty).
They have all confirmed years of strange things between 1971 and 1976.
One lady, a well-respected retired professional, now, with two immediate family members having served in County government, bluntly told me in 1995 that her family had witnessed “alien craft hovering in our backyard for 5 years.” I had asked her if she had seen “lights in the sky, like stars,” and she volunteered her backyard comment forcefully, and emotionally.
Her brother told that he frequently was stunned by their close presence in farm fields: objects twenty feet in the air, roughly the size of beach balls, which seemed to realize they were being seen, and then buzzed and traveled away down a valley a half-mile away, but still visible. They covered the half-mile almost instantly.
Frankly, locally among farm folk, these are generally discussed as simply being real. And when I say “farm folk,” these people are social and political leaders, most with a college degree, and generally from affluent, well-respected families.
