Full Description & Details

I just want to add to the sighting in Durban on the same date, me and a couple of friends had a all nighter playing computer games over a LAN. I went outside around 4am for a leak and to my surprise i saw this saucer/oval shaped flying object hovering over a house about 50m away from where i was, it was about 20-30m in the air. It was completely silent and it had some sort of cloak to it, cant explain it really....it had like a type of smoke covering it and moving in the same direction (anti clock wise). It had purple/gray/blue lights eveywhere. i quickly called 3 of my mates to come and watch, we starred at it for about 30min before going back in. the next day i told my mother, she told my grandmother and she responded said that my grandmother saw the reporting on the news, aparently there was a sighting 4am in Durban caught on film, it looked similar to my sighting.

It was a great experience and def raises a few questions to the paranormal.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

it was very close to us, and it was huge, nothing like i have ever seen before

Brookville in a suburb of Long Island, located on the North coast of the Island

Full Description & Details

Somewhere around 2006 I was seated on my patio and looking up at the evening sky, when I spotted something in the sky that appeared to be moving.

Upon closer inspection, the object appeared to be a star that was moving. I was able to use the tree tops in my backyard in which to determine that the object was in fact moving, and not a solarium flare reflecting off a manmade satellite.

What happened next really surprised me.

The object began going back in the same direction that it had come and stopped approximately where I had first noticed it sitting stationary.

The object looked like it star - It even twinkled like a star. I have often wondered exactly what I saw that night back in 2006. One thing I am certain of is that it was moving and did change direction. Can manmade satellites change direction while in orbit?

Jim

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Possibly a satellite.. however do they change direction?

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I am certain that they exist, however, I think the real confusion involves the UFO's flown by the black operations people versus EBE flown UFO's. Moreover, there's the holograms which are beamed into the sky via specialized satellites which are probably responsible for many of the UFO sightings people see these days.

Other Comments

I think that the credibility surrounding the UFO phenomenon is up against tremendous adversity from formalized religions, because to acknowlege that humanity is not the highest expression of of evolution threats the religious status quo.

Religions are the most successful form of brainwashing ever devised, and oftentimes prevent otherwise rational people from being able to logically evaluate the UFO phenomenon for what it really is - More evolved beings who just also happen to exist in the time space continuum.

Subject: Very close view of UFO



My wife and I had a very close up experience while living in Santa Clarita Valley. This occurred in 1978 but the memory lives in our minds as it were last night. We feel highly appreciative for the experience and are not afraid to openly discuss it without any intentions of financial gain. You may publish this account and we would be most willing to discuss it in public.

It was the summer of 1978. Santa Clarita Valley is located north of the San Fernando Valley and north of Los Angeles. Santa Clarita was a small and laid-back community mostly referred to as Valencia. We recently relocated back from a two-year international management assignment followed by a two-year management assignment in Arizona. We then were transferred to California and chose Santa Clarita because of the open spacious country living, low crime statistics, no smog, and nice neighborhoods. I purchased a two-story corner house with a swimming pool.

One Friday evening, I was using a long pole with an attached brush designed to sweep the walls of the pool. Our children would probably swim early the following morning and I wanted the pool to be clean.

As I reached upwards on the pole to push downwards I saw a craft approaching. The craft was at a distance equivalent one or two short blocks away and not flying parallel to streets but at an angle on a southeastern direction. It was immediately obvious to me that the craft was not a helicopter nor airplane since these would not normally fly that low and the physical characteristics did not match these. At that distance the craft seemed wider, luminous with lights in circumference to the frontal section (referred to as leading edge). I stared at it for a brief perplexed moment.

After realizing that it was something out of the ordinary, I ran down the steps from the poolside deck platform where I had been standing. The platform was about four to five feet higher than the pool water and the opposite surrounding pool deck area. It was about 15 fast running steps from there to the backyard entry to the family room. My wife and two children were watching television there.

I yelled for them to come outside and see but only my wife Gloria came out. We both walked fast towards the side of the pool opposite the platform side where I had been standing. By that time the craft was right over our pool area at an altitude of no more than 50-75 feet and perhaps even less.



The craft had come to a stop right over our pool area as we stood bellow it. The craft made no sound whatsoever. It wobbled slightly as it were moved by the wind but there was no noticeable wind at that moment. The craft leaned forward and downwards and then we saw a large forward angled window, located bellow the leading edge that was perhaps 8 feet in length and 3-4 feet in height. We could see an orange bluish glow from inside but no occupants or controls.

As the craft leaned forward I could see light emanating from its upper section and not from the pool lights reflection since the pool lights would be unable to reflect on the upper section. The craft seemed to be manufactured as one solid piece. There were no visible seams or rivets. The bottom of the craft was concave towards the center. In the deepest section of the concave center two rectangular objects were visible and ran the length of the deep concaved section and seemed to be a few feet apart from each other.

The craft had an upper dome with porthole like windows but no internal visibility. The upper dome was round and centered in relation to the lower part of the craft with no visible seams. The total height of the craft appeared to be the equivalent of a one and half story typical track residence or less. I calculated the height by comparing it to our two-story house. The diameter was approximately 50-75 feet or less. There were no visible markings, insignias or identification like character on the craft.

Under the front leading edge of the circular craft was some ski like devices with two side-by-side configurations. The design I cannot replicate even though I always scored high in I.Q, tests where design progressions (similar to mathematical progressions) had to be decided from multiple drawing choices. I also remember thinking they were too far forward from the crafts center of gravity something we studied in Group Propulsion in relation to the length and loading of aircraft. The ski like devices were similar to the letter S with the top of the S facing forward but with more elaborate details filling the gaps. At the time my conclusion was they were some type of hanging or anchoring device.

During the entire experience lasting some 45 seconds, my wife kept repeating “Oh my God!” over and over again. I tried to concentrate on details and in my mind kept repeating “take me with you.” We were both frozen in awe and disbelief. It was like seeing a large bus that I previously described as a Greyhound bus floating over your house. Both of us look upwards and did not speak to each other during the sighting.

There was no fear, an unprompted paralysis, and a high respect to what we were seeing. We both had the sensation of being watched primarily because the craft maneuvered downwards at an angle towards us and then regained a level position parallel to the ground. As a part of my analysis during the experience I listened for other engines, other crafts, the possibility that this craft was being suspended from another craft as a hoax but concluded there were no other man-made craft in the vicinity.

The craft then began to move at a very slow speed of around 20 miles per hour. I jumped on a wall that surrounded our backyard so that I could see the trajectory. I saw between houses as it continued at that speed for at least 7 miles from our house and heading in a southeast direction from Santa Clarita over a mountainous section of Los Angeles County. I instructed my wife not to discuss it but to try to draw what she saw and then we would compare drawings. My drawings had more details. Then we began comparing the experience and both had seen the very same details.

My conclusion is that the craft wanted us to observe it or perhaps was examining us. I am 100% sure this was not a man-made craft or technology. I am also convinced by the event that U.S. Government intelligence agencies know we are being visited by extra-terrestrials and are hiding facts. To me the only rationale reasons is because they lied once about their existence (perhaps Roswell and others) and may cause the loss of statutory governmental powers as citizens realize that borders, religions and global federal governments are meaningless and helpless. My conclusions lead me to think that visitors do not wish to work with a single government as they are roaming global skies making their presence.

There were lingering questions in my mind after the sighting. Since the craft must originate from an advanced civilization why do they need windows? My technical assumption is that an advanced civilization would have cameras on the exterior to duplicate exactly what is visible outside of the craft. Why were we allowed to see the interior through the large window but not the occupants?

After reporting the experience to the local Sheriff said they had no reports. Years later after writing the experience on the Internet someone who claimed he was with NASA automated airport sciences called me and said that his call was unofficial.

The only somewhat related experience was during a father daughter overnight camping event. The event was prior to our sighting experience. Several of my neighbors were FBI agents. During the outing two of the agents who had daughters were standing close to each other looking at the visible stars. One of them whispered to the other that he heard that strange crafts were often visible in the area. I was standing a few feet away from them and could her them.

During my earlier education, I graduated and was certified in Group Propulsion Systems and had a choice to either continue studies as a Flight Engineer or Aeronautical Engineering. I selected Aeronautical Engineering and attended Northrop Institute of Technology. In Group Propulsion Systems we became highly familiar with aircraft, mechanical and electrical systems and all flight disciplines, flight and design configurations and propulsion sciences. I am still more familiar with aircraft functions than an automobile. After two years of study I switched to business management at another university, was an early participant in IT as a systems analyst followed by executive positions in the computer and software industry eventually forming my own international management consulting and international business services integration organization. I am now an active portfolio investor and international business but retired.

Witness #1

12 year old male

10 circle shaped objects fly slowly across the sky. 9 of the objects got to a point and all the lights burned out eventually, all following the same course. The last of the 10 was slow, I was looking through binoculars at them and I was able to follow them but the last one shot across the sky at a great speed. The last one just disappeared and was gone.

Witness #2

17 year old male

At approximately 11:30 my dad called me to come and look at something outside and I came outside to see 10+ orange lights slowly moving across the sky. They all looked to be maintaining the same speed except the last one. It looked like it had fallen behind, but just as I pointed to it, my brother and I witnessed it move at a tremendous speed to catch up with the rest across the sky. Once it caught up, the first one dimmed out followed by the second, then third, until the last one finally dimmed out with a heading of South-Southwest.

Witness #3

Father of above

I am a Certified Flight Instructor/ATP with 16,000 hours TT. I have flown in the Chicago area out of Midway Airport as a pilot from 1974 thru 2001. Subsequent to that I have flown out a flying community airport Brookeridge (LL22). This observation was seen looking East thru South from our back yard in Darien, IL (Darien is in approx 20 miles SW of downtown Chicago). What I saw was amber light after amber light which seemed to be rising from a point east of us. I would say initially these light appeared about 15 miles East/South East of us. All told there were 10+ lights. They all seemed to climb to the same basic altitude and they followed each other on the same course that appeared to be a heading of 200 degrees. They were not exactly the same distance from one another, but were all in a line at varying altitudes and basically looked like one was following the other. They also appeared to slowly gain additional altitude and seemed to travel at the speed of a single engine airplane. When they were more south of our position they appeared to take a slight course correction to the left….say more of a heading of 170 degrees. They appeared to stay the same brightness the entire time we saw them. Ultimately they dimmed in brightness and disappeared. They appeared to be 5 times the size of a planet you might see with your naked eye. My sons said they saw one of the last ones lag behind and then accelerate to catch up to the group….however I did not see that. Both of my sons reacted at exactly the same time when this happened. I was trying to video tape them and did not see this happen. The video tape results were very poor and I only got several frames of the objects, but in my opinion my recording is of little use. I did check with flight service station at the time. I checked surface winds for MDW, LOT and JOT. The briefer told me almost every station reported calm surface winds. Winds aloft for 3 6 and 9 were 340 at 12, 310 at 16, 300 at 33. In my opinion theses objects were not being carried by those winds, their course seemed to be 90 degrees to the winds aloft forecast. Surface temp was 9 degree F. These 10+ objects looked like pyrotechnic devices to me….but 10+ pyrotechnic devices leaving a metropolitan area on a course 90 degrees to the prevailing winds aloft??

Hello, I am an RN and I work in the hospice field. Last year I took care of a 75 year old cancer patient. He was completely lucid, not on medication, and presented as being very concrete and linear in his thinking...kind of an Archie Bunker blue collar type of guy. He told me that he was a pipe fitter at Groom Lake in the 60's and 70's..flew into work each day on the unmarked planes, etc. I asked him if he ever saw anything strange there (I was actually refering to aircraft like the SR-71)He told me no since his work party was always under guard and was always escorted while on the site. He did tell me that once they were being moved from from building to building along a sidewalk when all of a sudden they saw approaching them "4 or 5 little grey men and two soldiers escorting them" He said the soldiers starting screaming at his group "What the hell are you guys doing out here?!...face away!... turn around! etc." His escort soldiers began shoving them bodily against a wall so that there backs were turned to the on coming group. They shouted at the men "don't look!! don't f*cking look!!!" He told me that of course he tried to look out of the corner of his eye and he said that the men appeared to be about 3 1/2 to 4 ft tall had large heads, skinny limbs and walked with a very funny hopping/skipping gait...which he actually imitated for me. After they passed his group taken into a building, a major came in and read the riot act to them about signing that secrecy document and possible prosecution, etc., but the major never actually mentioned the incident He just "put the fear of god into us". I asked him what he thought they were and his only answer was "little grey men" I asked if he thought they were aliens, his reply was " Look, all I can tell you is that they were little grey men, I don't know what the hell they were." He told me that he pretty much forgot about the incident until about 6 months later he heard alarms going off and some fellow workmen(not in his party) were quickly shoved into his building to get them off the sidewalks outside. He said one of the guys said"They are probably moving the Noids again." "Noids?" He said. "Yes, humanoids, noids for short...you know, those things you guys saw last year...I've seen them twice myself, weird huh?" My patient never would speculate about what they were and only told his wife who thought it was funny(she was a sort of old school Edith Bunker type, lol). He seemed VERY credible and would never have mentioned the event to me if I had pushed him into recalling his past experiences ( this is a common practice in hospice care called life-review, it can be therapeutic for patients to talk about their past). Anyway, I thought you guys would really get a kick out of that story...crazy stuff huh?

Full Description & Details

I refer to the article by Ahmad Jamaludin, MUFON UFO Journal, No. 141, November 1979, entitled "Humanoid Encounters in Malaysia" and it brings to mind an encounter I experienced while attending the Methodist School Sungai Siput (4deg48min50.25secN, 101deg5min7secE) in 1979. I was in primary 3 at the time. What we saw that day had made an indelible impression in my mind, and I can recall the event with absolute clarity, even more than thirty years later. For everyone of us, there are events in our lives that leave a vivid memory in the mind that is as clear as if it occurred only yesterday; for me, this was one of those events. The whole event was witnessed by at least 150 students and teachers from my school and it created quite a stir at school in the following days and weeks. My sighting tallies with Mr Jamaludin's account of students seeing miniature aliens in Malaysia in 1979, which I distinctly remember hearing about in the newspapers about three days after our sighting. The craft that we saw would have been one of a suitable size for the miniature aliens in Mr Jamaludin’s accounts.

I am convinced that what I saw that day a UFO; a space-craft; not one of ours. I am an engineer by training, and have a strong background in the sciences. I can attest that what I saw on that faithful day in 1979 was not something of this world. The technology we witnessed was hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years ahead of human technology.

The incident I refer to occurred in the morning, about quarter hour before class commenced. I was on the third floor balcony of my classroom block, talking with my friends when we were interrupted by a commotion on the ground floor. We turned our attention to the source of the commotion, only to see students pointing in excitement towards the north-west direction (I confirmed the directions on Goolge Earth), towards a small clearing not more than 200 metres from where we were, and at lower elevation. It was at the edge of the school compound, next to some duck ponds. Immediately behind the ponds was a Malay kampung, screened by lush tropical trees, including coconut trees, which gave us a reference for the size of the craft. Set against the backdrop of lush green foliage on a clear day, the sphere stood out brilliantly, illuminated by the early morning sun to our rear, as it began its climb into the sky. We had a clear view of the craft throughout the whole episode. There was no mistaking what we saw.

As we directed our gaze in the direction of the craft, we saw that it was a solid, silvery-grey, metallic like sphere in the process of taking-off (lift-off). By the time I (and my friends) cast my eyes on it, it was probably about a metre off the ground and lazily climbing into the air on deliberate flight path. The object was the size of a weather balloon, but it was no weather balloon. Its climb took a well defined path, unlike weather balloons that seem to dance erratically, buffeted by changing air-currents as they climb.

What further differentiated it from a weather balloon was that the craft seemed to have its own propulsion system thrusting high pressure air to its rear as it flew. The air that was propelled by the craft was clearly visible because it left light contrails as it entered and exited the influence of the craft's propulsion system. The best, but by no means accurate, way to describe this is like smoke in a wind tunnel travelling over the top surface of an airplane’s wing during wind tunnel testing.

To us witnesses, the propulsion system appeared to be on the outside of the object, although we could not see any evidence of an engine. The propulsion on the craft system seemed to have the characteristics of a jet engine, except where in a jet engine the whole process of compressing gases for thrust occurs inside an engine casing, with this craft, the compression process seemed to occur on the outside of the craft; but what drove the propulsion system is a mystery to me as there was no visible indication of any moving parts. Whether it was some sort of electromagnetic or nuclear propulsion system, I can only speculate.

It was apparent that the propulsion system was very powerful. The craft appeared to thrust the air at a tremendous force. The force of thrust was sufficient to a create strong localised winds on the ground, blowing trees and shrubs in the localised area as if they were being caressed by a stiff breeze. The final thing that made the propulsion system stand-out in my memory was that it was silent; absolutely silent. Except for the faint sound of the trees rustling in the distance, there was no other sound emanating from it.

Once the craft had cleared the heights of the coconut trees it started to accelerate in its ascent. The craft rose to what must have been about a thousand feet, when small winglets seem to materialise. The craft then accelerated towards the East, towards the sun, at an incredible speed, continually climbing before disappearing into the horizon. No aircraft could fly as fast as that craft did, and it did not produce the characteristic sonic-boom. In its wake, it left all the witnesses bewildered.

After the incident we compared notes. Some of the students and teachers confirmed that they had seen the craft while it was landed, but could not make out any details. Shortly thereafter, they saw the craft hover, before commencing flight. The first I saw it when it was about one metre off the ground and already in flight.

I cannot explain why the craft had chosen to land in the vicinity of my school, in small-town Malaysia, of all places on the planet. The surroundings around my school may provide some clues. There had been a history of many extraordinary (I am reluctant to use the word “paranormal”) events, many of which have been witnessed by students and teachers, and even police and military personnel over the years, dating back from at least the second world war. We students had heard many of these stories long before the sighting took place. Also, there was speculation that the area itself had once been a tin mine. We don’t know this for sure, but what is clear is that the town of Sungai Siput lies on a belt of rich mineral deposits.

We did not report the incident at the time for two reasons. Firstly, it was unlikely that anyone would believe the incident, especially coming from a school in a small town in Malaysia. Secondly, there was a war between the Government and communist insurgents raging in the jungles surrounding the town. We were all aware that raising issues of UFOs in such a climate would only be an invitation for trouble.

There were about 30 or 40 of them, almost in lines of birds in flight headed out for the season. They were silver/white, not sure how to describe the shape. It was a bit dome shaped but we also were in a bit of a shock when we saw them.

Size of Object(s)

Right by 8th and 49th, there is a very tall building right by the subway station, they seemed very far away from even the top of the building. I would say if you held an eraser up they would have been about that size at the end of the eraser.

There were no street lights shinging up to that area and they were moving quick, slow, a few of them did a pryamid, and then they were gone as if nohting had been there at all.

Full Description & Details

My roommate and I were getting off work in Manhattan around 49th and 8th, right by the blue line, e, c, a, when we looked up and saw some very strange things. As we were walking down the sidewalk, at approximately 12:35 am, we saw a large group of unidentifiable silver/white objects in the sky. There were several lines of them and they were moving fast then slow, some even stopped. Approximately 9 to 12 of them formed pyramids in the sky then 3 also moved side to side as if enacting evasive moves in the sky. When we saw them they were between 47th and 50th street and closer to the east side rather than the west, where we were. I looked for other light sources and even saw a helicopter flying in the air above us for whatever was being filmed or watched. I was New Years Eve near Times Square after all.

As we watched the formations and the objects move against the background of our solar system, they disappeared. Even after walking around the block and searching for anything in the sky that would indicate they were weather balloons or a mass of airplanes or anything but what we saw, they were gone. As if they never existed. We noted the time as 12:54 am when we decided to go home to Queens, Yes I understand we live where 3 of the captured UFO’s already are, and considered ourselves very lucky to see such an unexplained event.

We both would say, since we had no time to count them or document what we had seen, there were approximately 30 to 40 of the objects that were in the sky, they came and went quickly, and we are not sure if anyone else even saw them.

NYC, Manhattan, 47th to 50th street, east side location. Duration approximately 10 minutes.

1. I was driving home west to east on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

2. The first object was very bright, slightly off to the left of me at about 10o'clock high.( Auburn, MA). The second and third objects were also very bright but had a twinkling appearance at first.

3. First object - I thought it was a plane with it's approach lights on. The second and third objects were not seen for another 10 minutes or so after the first. I was still getting my thoughts together about the first object when the second two appeared to my left, about 9 o'clock horizontally and 10 o'clock vertically.

4. First object - was right in my line of sight so I get an eye on it ( I was travelling at 70 MPH in traffic so I couldn't stop or listen for sounds. Second and third objects - really got my attention, as they initially looked the same as the first one. These seemed to appear suddenly, but they may have moved rapidly from behind me to the left. After watching the first object for 2-3 minutes and trying to recall exactly what I saw, when these other two appeared, I observed them much more closely, as closely as you can when your are driving at highway speeds.Interestingly, when the second two objects appeared, i saw a lot of brake lights go on around me so I think there was a multiple group of people, including truck drivers, who saw these last two objects.

5. Object 1 - First appeared in front of me, about 10 O'Clock high. Initially, I thought it was a plane with approach lights, however the object was not moving, or if it was, it was very slowly moving. I was approaching the Auburn 140 exit, and within 5 miles I had driven right under the object. I could make out two white lights, side by side, no wing lights ( starboard / port red and white ) and nothing blinking. Where the object should have had some type of shape, there was a misty, cloudy mass. You could see a trail emanating from the lights ( this could have been mist or fog). The best way to describe what this looked like was as if you looked at the afterburner of a twin engine fighter jet, however these were definitely white lights, not exhaust flames). I drove right under the object and lost it once it was behind me. I did not see much if any movement.

5. Object 2 and 3 - This was the most detailed. I was trying to put my thoughts together on the first object and was approaching I 495 eastbound when I caught a very similar light to my left. I then noticed there were two objects, both glittering brightly and moving north to south, about 9-10 o'clock high on the horizon in front of me. The cars in front of me started to tap their brakes, so I had to watch the road as I watched the objects. These objects did move, Object 1 fairly fast for what seemd to be 1-15 seconds unti, it was right over I90. When the object was about 11 o'clok in front of me, the bright glittering stopped and I could make out red and white lights, and I saw strobing. My first thought was airplane, but as i got closer ( again, the object slowed way down to where I drove right under it), I could make out a triangular or circular pattern. The center of the object had that blurry/misty appearance, so you couldn't see an actual shape in the darkness. What made this object so strange was that the strobing was coming from the white lights; the red lights were not blinking. The white lights had a pattern of 1-2, half second, 1-2, half second. I could see a bluish haze in the middle of this light array as I drove under it. I lost it as I passed under. The third object was the most active, but also the least viewed. As I was watching object 2, Object 3 remained "glittery" and was at 9-10 o'clock vertically. It moved rapidly from my left to about 2 clock to my right off in the distance and then just hovered there for what I estimate to be 2-3 minutes, then moved off to the south. I did not overtake this object, but it did look the same from a distance with object 2 until object 2's "glitter" stopped and the shape and red/white lights were observed.

I am an ex-Navy airdale, so I'm somewhat familiar with aircraft and helicopters. I wish I could have pulled over to observe these objects from a stationary position and listened for engine noise. What was most striking was the slowness / lack of movement / lack of standard running lights / north south direction ( Logan was east of the sightings)and the clarity of the lights and the misty looking area where you would normally see the outline of an aircraft. If they were aircraft, they would have to have been helicopters based on the changing speeds and my ability to overtake them in a car, however, the lighting patterns and lack of a hard shape just doesn't add up. Hopefully someone else will be reporting this to you so you can compare notes. I have drawn the objects so I don't forget them with time.

Witness Background

I am a marketing manager

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have been a believer that there may be man made or extraterrestrial objects in our skies. I am also an ex Navy airdale, so i am familiar with what's in the skies. This was my first encounter observing something that I could not identify as fixed wing aircraft or helicopters.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

The disc hovered approximately 50 feet above the brick office building.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Antioch road is a busy road in the Kansas City, Missouri suburb of Gladstone. We were stopped at the light at the busy intersection of Antioch road and Englewood road. There are no military bases or power plants in the immediate area, to my knowledge.

Full Description & Details

My mom and I were stopped at a light. Mom was driving. I looked out my window and saw a very large metallic disc hovering above a single story office building there on the corner. I called my mom's attention to it. As we watched, it noiselessly, slowly flew across the street and stopped over what at the time was the Antioch Theater. After just moments there, it whooshed off to the west and disappeared behind the houses in that area. We turned in the direction it went and looked for it, but didn't see it again.

The disc was larger than the building over which it hovered, was silver/metallic and had a row of lights around the center.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

No

Witness Background

I work for Nationwide Insurance as a Compliance Analyst. I was about 23 or 24 at the time of the sighting.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I was indifferent about UFOs before and immediately after the sighting. It was fascinating, but I didn't make anything of it until a few years later when I read Whitley Striber's book Communion. I was terrified by the book, because of what I had seen myself.

Other Comments

If my mom hadn't been with me, I'm absolutely certain that I would have written it off as a false memory by now. It is the most incredible thing that has happened to me in my life.
