A new documentary on the incident is coming out:
25 years after international media attention came to tiny Wytheville, VA on the heels of massive UFO sightings, the echoes still ring for reporter Danny Gordon. Gordon, a newscaster with a wall full of UPI awards and community work citations, became the unintentional center of the upheaval caused by an array of strange objects in the country skies from 1987-88.

Context is everything. A viewer unfamiliar with small Southern mountain towns like Wytheville, VA may think "they're just like us," when they're not. I've lived near the town since '85, and though I have had experience living in big cities and small towns prior, the differences remain stark. I mean to say, don't expect Mayberry. These folks are truly good people, with family, God, and country their primary values. But given the history of their location, they are suspicious of strangers, and with several good reasons which would take too long to explain in a small response. They don't trust strangers at their door, on their phones, moving in near them, and especially hovering over their houses in giant crafts. So please keep that in mind as you watch this. Maybe "Strange Country" will shed some light on that, but this "Unsolved Mysteries" episode, though quite good, doesn't, and it hurts the verisimilitude. (So does the first caller to the radio station, whose "accent" is not only NOT from the mountain South, it's not from anywhere in the world except Hollywood, and cheap Hollywood at that.)In sny case, give the case and the folks involved a break by not rushing to judgment. Thanks--
