The Lumberton Wave (1975): A Silent V-Shaped UFO Across Seven North Carolina Counties
To the point
It's a 1975 wave of mysterious, silent V-shaped UFO sightings reported by dozens of law enforcement officers across seven southeastern North Carolina counties near Lumberton, beginning with an early sighting behind Lumberton High School, with journalist Lee Speigel and CUFOS researchers led by Jennie Zeidman compiling witness accounts and timelines and J. Allen Hynek weighing it in, while conventional explanations like helicopters or airplanes were unsatisfactory and the case remains notable for its many trained observers and limited video evidence.
