A Horse peeks at the Bank Balance
The Urban Moonshiner
The Unguarded Secret Still
In 2010 Alexander Przygoda was an Indian artifacts collector and dealer
In Montgomery county under Federal investigation concerning a few arrowheads he was in possession of. Alexander operated a business called The Artifact
Company out of his house at 324 W. High St. Mt Sterling.
Agents U.S. Department of the Interior served
a search warrant and seized some of the artifacts to determine whether they
were federally protected items. The Agents saw something else interesting while
searching the basement, a working Moonshine still. After they left they tipped off
the State Department of Alcohol Beverage Control and local Police. As it turned
out Przygoda was apparently unconcerned by the visit from the feds and continued to make moonshine for some
time after until the authorities returned, This Time for the Still.
At the home Police found 70 gallons of mash,
corn, sugar and 37 mason jars of experimental moonshine all dated and organized
on shelves as if he was trying to ‘’perfect’’ his brew, the police reported.
The still included a 30-gallon drum used to heat the mash and a 15-gallon cooling
tank and Copper components. The Investigators were unsure how long the still
had been in operation. The Idea that there was a Moonshine operation in the
middle of Town Shocked Mt. Sterling Mayor Gary Williamson who offered ‘’ I had
no idea we had a moonshine still here in Mt. Sterling, but I guess we do.’’
Przygoda
was arrested, charged with possession of apparatus for unlawful manufacture of
alcohol, operating without a license and presence of alcohol raising
presumption of intent to sell. The charges were all misdemeanors and he was
later released. The Authorities seized all the evidence and
''eh hem'' supposedly took it to Frankfort.

KENTUCKY STRANGE:The postponed U.F.O. encounter
Billy Goldy at the spot where he says he saw a UFO descend |
Whatever Beamed down must have beamed right back up again
It was early in the
morning on Tuesday, February 25, 1992 , Bill Goldy, Bath County farmer and
merchant, was driving in his pickup on his way to feed his cattle .Farm hand,
James Carpenter, was along for the morning chores. Suddenly both men spotted a silvery
triangular object in the sky. It was hovering about one-hundred feet in the air ,soon after
sighting it the object quickly descended and seemed to glide down behind a
grove of trees. As it did so,they could see it appeared to unfold and change
shape and it then began flashing Blue, green, and yellow lights.
Not knowing what to
make of it. The two went about the daily routine of feeding the cattle. After
they finished there task they started wondering more and more about what they had seen.
The two men drove back over to the area where they had seen it go down. After a
three hour search of the woods and fields they could find nothing. The Local
Bath County News –OUTLOOK and The Lexington Herald-Leader Both ran
a front page story on the mystery.[MUFON] the mutual UFO Network Investigated
and entered it in their database.
It seems obvious in
this case They missed a valuable opportunity to get a closer look at whatever
it was they saw descend, But let me point out it often happens when people
encounter a UFO or some other strange scenario, instead of dropping what they
were doing and getting a closer look they seem to go about it in a casual almost
mesmerized way.I experienced this Phenomenon myself when seeing a dark figure late
at night on a wilderness road as a teen, recounted in my article on KY monsters.
Is it because we in the modern age are so busy and attached to routine we
simply can’t accept the unacceptable? Did an ET call that Tuesday morning back
in 1992 and no one was home? We will probably never know.
