It doesn’t matter whether you believe in aliens and UFOs, many individuals have experiences that they just can’t quite explain. And when many people all in the same town have similar experiences, and almost on a nightly occurrence, you know something strange may be happening. There is one UFO story that simply fascinates me and it’s not just one person’s experience with UFO sightings — it’s dozens. In the 1970s, Bloomfield, Kentucky residents began catching a glimpse of something strange up in the sky and it quickly became the norm.
