A Texas witness at Keltys recounted a 1969 UFO encounter with a low flying sphere-shaped object, according to testimony in Case 78077 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
​
The witness and a friend were “spot lighting racoons” off 103W between Lufkin and Crockett alongside a river at 1 a.m. on July 20, 1969, when the incident occurred.

“We were staying the night at his grandparent’s house,” the witness stated.“We were in a large field, maybe 20+ acres, surrounded by old growth woods and with small pines in the center. We were driving my friend’s truck inside the perimeter fence. I was shining the light out the passenger window in the truck, up and down trees trying to see raccoon’s eyes, when my friend said, ‘turn off that light.’”
