Ghost of Midnight

UFO and Catamount sightings in St. Johnsbury?

Two interesting hot topics lately on the Saint Johnsbury Area Front Porch Forum… sightings of unidentified flying objects and possible catamounts.  Here’s a sample…

“Last week, I believe it was Wednesday night, quite late, about 10, I was sitting on the back porch, overlooking the Passumpsic River. Clear night, I looked up in the sky and saw something way up there, large and distinctly bright red, traveling very fast (I believe from the NW) in the sky. I mean much faster that a satellite or a plane–it seemed lower than a satellite, but higher than most jets at 35,000 feet–again, guessing here, very subjective. I ran and got my wife, who came right out…she was quite surprised. Then it seemed to get bigger and took on a triangular shape, and wobbled like a frisbee ready to fall out of the sky. Then it took off, straight up, and it was gone. Distinctly red. Anyone else see this?”

“Around dusk, I saw what appeared to be a mountain lion run across the road in front of my car. It was about the size of a grey hound…kind of lanky. It had a distinct cat head and ears. It was short haired and a long thin cat tail. It appeared grey in color, but could have been because it was dusk. Could it be a mountain lion? It crossed the Peacham-Danville Road traveling from east to west and entered to woods just north of Currier Road. It was way too big to be a domesticated cat and yet it looked like a cat.”
