Thursday Throwback: 1989 Fyffe UFO

How long does 15 minutes of fame really last?

35 years ago, we sent a reporter back to Fyffe, Alabama to see if people were still talking about the event that got them on the national map.

It started with a woman saying she saw a strange light in the sky.

Then a police officer reported he saw a lighted object silently passing over him.

Soon, articles popped up in national tabloid newspapers about the Fyffe U-F-O.

And a tourist boom followed.

For our Thursday Throwback, we return to the scene of the crime a few months later.
