Date of Sighting: October 9, 2009
Time of Sighting: 7:30 to 8 PM EDT
Location of Sighting: Vass, North Carolina (Central North Carolina)

Description: I don't know if what I saw was a UFO, but on or around October 9th I was coming back from the Diner in Vass around 7:30 to 8:00 PM. There was a bright light on the southwestern horizon breaking through some dark clouds. It was toward the area between Fort Bragg and Southern Pines sort of just outside the perimeter of Southern Pines. As I slowed down to look at it I saw a police car pulled over to the right side of the road with some other cars. I thought they might be looking at the light, but it must have been someone getting a ticket. Then as I drove on and I saw it again. Then the trees obscured my view of that area. It was not the moon, but an oval moving very bright light.

Note: There was another sighting near Fort Bragg on October 9, 2009 of a similar object. The Fort Bragg sighting was at about 6:30 PM. Click here to read about the Fort Bragg sighting. Perhaps the two sightings is indicative that some unusual activity was occurring. Apparently the local news media covered these sightings, but I have been unable to locate any articles.
