Havana, Gadsden County, Florida, United States
The Lee Family Encounter
Jared Lee later described a December 1991 family encounter at their Havana, Florida home: lights over the treeline, a car horn sounding, coloured luminous spheres and finally a huge silent object above the woods for 10–15 minutes. The story's earliest traceable public record in this pass is a 2014 U
Why This Case Matters
A dramatic family close-encounter narrative whose value is mainly methodological: the long documentation gap makes it unsuitable for strong evidential treatment despite multiple related witnesses.
Chronology
- Dec 1991 family returns home around 22:00
- Jared notices treetop lights
- parents reportedly join observation
- coloured lights and large silent craft described
- no contemporary report located
- Jared recounts case publicly by 2014 as an adult/aerospace engineer
The Witnesses
Evidence
The following evidence types are documented for this case:
Conventional explanations: Memory reconstruction, family narrative reinforcement, aircraft/helicopter or other lights, and embellishment over a >20-year documentation gap are serious alternatives.
What Remains Unresolved
- Exact date
- independent contemporaneous witness
- family members' separate statements
- any diary/police/media record
- origin of later illustrative still/video.
Key Takeaways
- The case should be framed as a late-recorded family testimony, not a documented 1991 event. Jared's later technical profession does not retroactively strengthen the original evidence.
