Full Description & Details

On May 2nd, 1998. My sister Ashley, who was 7 months pregnant at the time and I were coming home from dropping my mom off on Eleys Ford Road. It was a clear night, it had stormed earlier, beautiful night sky. We had gotten maybe 4 miles from our mom's house when I came up a hill and around a curve. It was right there about 50 yards ahead of us. I asked my sister what is that and she said she didn't know. I slowed down. You could see where it was skimming the tree tops. We had the windows cracked and did not have the radio on. It made no sound. By this time I was underneath it. My whole interior of my car was lit up, I was scared to death and I don't know why, but I started to tell my sister to stop looking at it. She didn't listen. I actually thought I was going to have a heart attack. We both watched it skim the tree tops and then it was GONE. No soonert that that, we had driven less than a 1/2 of a mile we popped around another curve and I kid you not, on each side of the road were two men crouched down in the ditch, like they were waiting for someone or something. I didn't slow down or stop. By this time a pick up truck was passing us and he stopped. I saw his brake lights and then he took off. By this time, I was terrified. I think I broke speed records trying to get home. I did stop when I saw a police officer parked at Pizarros store and told him that he might want to radio Culpeper and let them know that we had seen two men on the side of the road, but we never mentioned what we saw.

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

No, I grew up near Reagan Airport and my father was stationed at Ft. Rucker. I know what a helicopter and an airplane are. This was neither.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Read and watched about them, but never took it seriously. Now, I HATE the sky at night. I no longer like to watch meteorite showers. No longer like to watch and see how you see different constellations at different times of the year. Even now, because I work nights, I watch the sky and if I see something that does not appear to be right-I get a sick terrified feeling.
