The Gaffney Aliens, sighting was an extraterrestrial sighting that took place on year 1966, in the town of Gaffney, South Carolina. At around 4 a.m., two police officers by the names of C. Hutchins & A. Huskey, were driving down a murky, rural section of Gaffney known as the West Buford Street Extension when as they neared a right-angle bend in the road, and out of the darkness and into their headlights bloomed a metallic object directly in front of them. It was apparently spherical, with a wide, flat brim around it, with no visible lights or portholes on it.
Appearance[]
The object settled to within a few feet of the ground, both men got out of their car in a state of benumbed amazement. Later Hutchins estimated that the object must have been about twenty ft in diameter. A small door suddenly opened noiselessly on the underside of the sphere, he said, and a short ladder, four to six feet long, dropped down.
The humanoid was about the size of a twelve-year-old boy, maybe four feet. He wore no helmet or headgear and was dressed in a gold suit with no buttons or zippers. His costume was shiny, like metal, in the reflection of the headlights; it was not self-luminous. The humanoid asked numerous questions and ignored the witnesses when they asked any questions. Hutchins could not remember seeing the feet of the creature. It was standing on high grass and the feet must have been hidden.
Trivia[]
- Both men could not really remember the full context of the “conversation”. Hutchins claimed the alien spoke perfect English “Didn’t have any accent or anything. He acted like he knew exactly what he was saying and doing…did not make any quick moves or false moves. He just stood there and talked to the witnesses.” He wanted to know why we were dressed alike.
- His speech was very precise. He pronounced each work very carefully. When asked where he was from, he just laughed.
- The meeting was brief, perhaps only 2 or 3 minutes. Then, Hutchins said the creature announced, “I…will…return…in…two…days” he turned, walked slowly back to the ladder, and climbed into the object.
- The door closed quietly, and the craft began to whirr, a soft whirring sound, like an engine with a muffler on it. The object rose slowly and vanished into the sky.
- A local councilman found numerous footprints at the site where the little man had stood. There was no return visit by the alien.
