© Steven Alford/The Lufkin Daily NewsJerome Gardner, of Lufkin, points to a spot in the sky where he said he saw a possible UFO Wednesday afternoon over the former site of the Louisiana-Pacific paper mill on Old Mill Road.
A strange object in the sky Wednesday afternoon over a wood debris storage area on Old Mill Road caused a Lufkin man and his wife to call local authorities asking for answers.
"It didn't look like no plane," said Jerome Gardner, who lives across the street. "It was amazing, I've never seen anything like it."
Gardner said he was skeptical at first when his wife, Yolanda, told him about the large, round object hovering over the field at the former site of the Louisiana-Pacific paper mill.
But after looking at the object in the sky, Gardner quickly found himself climbing onto his roof to get a closer look.
"I freaked out and just thought, 'What in the world is that?'" he said.
Comment: Whether the above photo is a hoax or not, the print shown does not seem to be a leopard or puma print.
