�o� DOGTOWN - Sue Johnson was drying her hair before �o�
�o�leaving for work early Thursday morning when a �o�
�o�strange, unearthly hum rose above. thc noise of the �o�
�o�hair dryer, accompanied by an odd vibration throughout �o�
�o�her mobile home. �o�
�o� She clicked off the dryer and walkd to her kitchen �o�
�o�window, preparing to look upward into the sky, �o�
�o�thinking the noise must be a low-flying aircraft. �o�
�o� "This thing was eye-to-eye," she said, moving across �o�
�o�the pasture toward me. I've never seen anything like �o�
�o�it. I don't know what it was; but I do know it was not �o�
�o�an airplane or a helicopter." �o�
�o� Sue ran to her back door, flung it open and peered �o�
�o�into the cold 5 a.m. darkness. "It was moving below �o�
�o�the treetops about three car-lengths along my back �o�
�o�yard fence." she pointed to show the spot. "I could �o�
�o�tell its image by the red and green iights pulsating �o�
�o�on it. It was about half the length of my 65-foot �o�
�o�trailer." �o�
�o� She stood, transfixed, until the object guided to �o�
�o�the end of her trailer, out of sight; then she ran to �o�
�o�the front door, hoping to keep it in view. �o�
�o� "I never saw it again," she shrugged. "It just �o�
�o�disappeared." �o�
�o� Sue immediately called her mother, Shirley Akins. �o�
�o� The first thing my daughter asked me was do you �o�
�o�believe in UFO's? said Mrs. Akins. "I told her any �o�
�o�thing was possible. I do believe my daughter. She is a �o�
�o�level-headed person." �o�
�o� Mrs. Akins and Sue said a co-worker who lives in the �o�
�o�area mentioned at work Thussday she heard the same �o�
�o�sound around 5 a.m. And later that evening, at 6:30 �o�
�o�p.m., Williams Akins of Adamsburg reported seeing the �o�
�o�object, which Sue sketched in the typical shape of �o�
�o�`fat-in-the-middle-and-tapered-on-the-ends." �o�
�o� "I didn't want to say anything about this," Ms. �o�
�o�Johnson added. "I know people think you're crazy if �o�
�o�you do. Normally, I'm the type person where I don't �o�
�o�believe anything like that until I see it for myself. �o�
�o�Thursday was just a normal morning for me." �o�
�o� Ms. Johnson says she doesn't necessarily believe in �o�
�o�aliens, but feels the craft is nothing that mainstream �o�
�o�America is aware of. �o�
�o� "I don't know what this thing was. I was sizing it �o�
�o�up from one end to the other. I stood there for �o�
�o�several seconds. I was so amazed at what I was �o�
�o�seeing, it just blew me away." �o�
�o� Ms. Johnson said she knew very little of the �o�
�o�internationally publicized Fyffe UFO spotted by �o�
�o�numbers of residents (including Fyffe Police) in Feb. �o�
�o�1989, but her description of the Dogtown UFO closely �o�
�o�resembled those offered in Fyffe. �o�
�o� Mrs. Akins has notified the Federal Aviation �o�
�o�Administration, who suggested she call Agent Glenn �o�
�o�Slaughter with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. �o�
�o�Attempts to reach Slaughter in Gadsen on Friday were �o�
�o�unsuccessful. �o�
