UFO'S ALONG ROUTE 66


For some the found art in a backyard in Stroud, Oklahoma along Route 66 is a curiosity, a junk 
masterpiece, a bit of good ol' boy kitsch.  For others they see the link to the larger UFO and flying saucer mythos and cattle mutilation events as the inspiration. 


For the Stroud resident and author of SOONER SAUCERS: OKLAHOMA UFO'S FROM 1947 TO 1969 (Amazon 2020) and the upcoming SOONER SAUCERS. Vol. 2 (due out later this year) it is a reflection of the bizarre stories Marilyn A. Hudson has uncovered in her research and through stories shared with her for the new volume of the book.

In fact, she has collected a growing list of sightings, experiences, and events all along Route 66. "I am always interested in more," she said in an interview. 

People through the decades have experience strange things all along the "Mother Road."  "I would like to hear from people with stories of sightings of objects, strange lights, and any really odd experiences cruising along the area of Route 66. "

The author has a "comment" form on her webpage, UFO SKIES (www.ufoskies.blogspot.com), where anyone can submit a story related to UFO's or odd events along Route 66.  "If a person does not want me to use their name just give me some initials. I will want details - time, place, details of the event - and what went on before and after. It is not enough to say there was this object in the sky unless information about which way it was moving, if it made sound, if it had any colors, smells associated with it. How fast did it move? How did move? What was the shape? Where exactly was the event or the object? To consider these stories in the wider context of events there has to be enough to locate where the event happened, what the weather was like, time of day, movements, and all the rest. So those are needed in any report. What time did it happen and when did it end? Every detail of the event is valuable in getting a picture of the experience."



Author Marilyn A. Hudson is ready to get her kicks on Route 66 - on the road or in the skies.
