UFO on the Roof
by Missy
My story begins in a small town in southwest Oklahoma named Frederick. It was a hot evening in August, 1990. I was 16 years old. I am now 33. A friend and I were sitting on some benches in the city park talking when we heard a loud screech. The sound seemed far off, but close enough to catch our attention. We wondered and discussed what the sound could have been. My friend, who was of Mexican descent, joked that it could be a "witch". He explained to me about the Lechuza, as it is called, and is said to be an evil witch who can turn into a large bird. He also said that she would hunt, scare, and possible hurt someone if they taunted her. So me and my BIG mouth started yelling stuff such as, "Shoo shoo, you ugly old hag. I ain't afraid of a darn bird." Actually, I used a lot more "colorful" words, but you can get the gist of if.
Anyway the screeching, which I must add was actually a sound I can't explain and have never heard anything similar since, grew louder and closer. Then we saw 'it". It was floating, not flying -- floating right above the tree lines. We were terrified, so we ran to my home, which was just a few blocks from the park. My grandparents, with whom I lived, heard the sounds as well. This thing apparently landed on our roof and stayed there for a few moments. We were all afraid because the sound of it landing made it colossal sound. We called the police, and by the time they arrived the thing was gone, but a few of the shingles had been ripped off and tossed to the ground. I have never in my life been that scared and I hope I never will again.
