John Keel's Point Pleasant Notebook

*The following are pages from the small notebook that John Keel used on his trips to Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Most of the book consisted of names, phone numbers, and directions but these are some of the more interesting pages which include notes on sightings.*

April 3. 1967

1:35 A.M. observed descent of

red and green object into ravine

a few yards north of position.

object was clearly defined saucer

shape glowing red with greenish

upper surface. Unable to

determine size but it appeared

small. At first though it

descended over hill in background

but inspection of terrain with

searchlight indicates it

landed directly behind trees

only a short distance away.

Awaiting developments (1:45)

Scared - damn it.

2:00 A.M. - Drove to turn-around

point, turned and returned to

original parking position - unable

to see anything in ravine - no

lights or signs of activity.

(4-3-67) Still scared - not anxious

to get out of car. feel

object is in ravine.

2:25 A.M. - Observed orange UFO

maneuver and descend in northwest in

distance. Suddenly disappeared.

No sign of moon which was supposed to

rise at 1:59 A.M.

2:35 - Aware of what seemed to be

a flash of pale pink light behind

me. Similar flashed seemed to occur

a few minutes ago but I decided

it was my imagination. No sounds

or movements outside. Still trying

to muster courage to leave car and

look around. I feel "they" are

very nearby.
