Sometime between 1977 and 1979... my then husband and I one night, were approaching Charleston WV from some distance, when we both saw a really strange orange lighted object, oblong in shape, hovering over the cityscape. Then driving into a dip on the highway, the view of city and the object could no longer be seen, obscured by hills, trees. We just shrugged and didn't think more about it, until we got close enough to Charleston to pick up a local station on the car radio, which was abuzz with reported similar sightings.

Wonder if it was something to do with this Mothman

Never saw anything before that and never since. And that is all I'll say on the matter of "visitors."
