Full Description & Details

My friend and I were 17 at the time, driving up Piper Rd to route 356, we came to a clearing near a farm. I saw three lights in the sky that hadn't been there before. I asked my friend to stop the car, we looked at them for a while, I asked, "Did they put up some type of new tower?" We both looked at each other and knew the answer was no. It hovered in this spot for some time, as we got out of the car, those three lights turned into thousands of colored lights and began to move toward us. This object was the size of a baseball field, as it stopped above us, the lights turned off and the three white lights came back on. It hovered over us for a few minutes, I hopped back into the car out of fear. After those few minutes though, the lights changed to the thousands of colored lights again and shot straight up, eventually disappearing into the night sky. This object was completely silent the entire time. I, to this day, have a hard time believing most people that claim to have seen these types of things. I do, however, believe in other life forms out there. About a year ago, I saw this old friend of mine and asked him if he remembered that day, and he remembers everything, exactly as I do. And this was the first time we had talked about it since it happened.

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

not a chance

Witness Background

I was in highschool at the time, I went to college for engineering, and am currently a stay at home mom.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

My views have not changed much at all, even though I saw this object, I still think that most of the people making such claims as I am are doing so because they want attention or they are just crazy. I suppose that I am more able to believe the more saine claimes though.
