Full Description & Details

I am an astronomer and very expierenced sky observer and former planetariumdirector.

I had my 7x35 binoculars with me and I looked at this bright object and thru the binocs saw it was a disc with- like frost streamers comming off of it and then 2 to 3 other smaller objects ( craft ? ) came away from the larger object ( mother ship? ) and as they moved slowly away from it. I had the impression I was watching a very ex atmospheric - very large disk object and the relativly smaller 2-3 smaller craft manouvering around the object. I observed this lying on my back on a picnic table in astoundment for about 15 mins. Occasionaly looking away from my binoc eyepieces to see if another campers were about to also look. Finally a couple came by and at that point after I had asked them to look up... They saw briefly the object and then when I then tried to relocate this object in my binocs - it had dissapeared. It seemed to stay relativly stationary in a very high 90 deg sky altitude and 45 deg azimuth relative to Vega and Deneb which I had by then spotted and re oriented myself to the objects relative position in the sky.

I am glad to have a venue to report this to now in Feb 2005. I have also seen two more very strange phenomena in the sky I would like to report as well as a connection to who I feel is a for real abduction victim I encountered when I was in the Patagonia area of way south Chile... Plz advise.
