I’m curious: What’s your “second hand proof”

What sort of stories have been passed on to you from people you know? I’ll start:

A buddy of mine is the son of the Iranian Air Force General (General Yousefi, now passed) who scrambled fighters during the 1976 Tehran incident. My buddy told me “yes they’re real, we don’t know who they are and they can shut down our equipment” My aunt’s ex-husband was a minuteman operator in Minot ND during the 70s and said that said orbs would shut down their equipment (of course this is more widely known now). In the 60s and 70s, my dad and my grandparents on my mom’s side have both seen lights instantly shoot across the sky from a stand-still. My dad reported his sighting to the police department and they laughed him off the phone.

Edit: Come on people! Wild card line, you’re on the air!
