At age 7, Mark Gilley had an experience that would change the way he looked at the sky forever. In the backyard of his home in Central Gardens, it was spring and nearing dusk when his aunt called to him. "She said 'Come here and see if you see what I see,' " recalled Gilley. He remembers spotting an illuminated object like a teardrop moving across the sky. He watched until it disappeared behind a cluster of trees. At 58, Gilley is employed Downtown at the Clovernook Center for the Blind on St. Paul Avenue, where he helps thosewho have lost their vision become independent.
He still believes it was a UFO he saw that day. He's not alone. As a longtime member of the Memphis UFO Discussion Group, which meets at the Poplar-White Station Branch Library at 5094 Poplar on the second Wednesday of each month, Gilley is in agreeable company with many others who believe Earth is being visited by extraterrestrials. Attracting up to 30 people to meetings, the Memphis group has been together for nearly 25 years. Gilley is also the state director of Western Tennessee for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a 3,000-member international organization that investigates sightings. Manning theregion hotline (the phone number dials his cell phone), the East Memphian anticipates calls that send him and Marcia Prince out of town for closer inspections. Prince, also an East Memphian, is assistant state director of Western Tennessee and chairman of the Memphis UFO Discussion Group. But that doesn't happen very often.
