Full Description & Details

one night,my neighbor called me and said there was a ufo in the field behind my house. i remember asking her what she had been drinking. she insisted that i go outside and look for myself,which i did.at the time,i lived in a small cottage with a small yard.this yard is seperated from a cow field by a barbed wire fence.it is a large field with a pond in it. the field is bordered by woods on one side and an apple orchard on the other. it was a dark night and when i went outside,i saw an object sitting motionless in the air. it was aprox., 200 - 300 feet away from me and aprox., 50 - 75 in the air. i immeadiatley went and got my father,another neighbor and her daughter.all of us stood in my yard and watched this object for a long time. in fact,i lost track of time. for being this close to the object,i could not make out a definite shape of the object. all i know is that is was a very large object and it was almost like i could feel the weight of this object. on the leading edge of this object,there were lights. the colors of these lights were red,white and either blue or green. this object sat perfectly motionless and completley quiet. all of a sudden the lights went out and the object was gone.after what seemed like only 2 or 3 seconds,the lights came back on and the object was over the woods. the lights went out again and in a matter of seconds, the object was back in the same location behind my house with the lights back on. the light went out again and the object was gone. we all stood in my yard for awhile and i remember wishing thar this object would come back and it did. i told everyone in my yard that i was going into the field to walk underneath it at which point,everyone told me that i was crazy to do that. i walked as far as the barbed wire fence and then became very scared. something inside me told me not to do this. it almost seemed like this object was waiting for me to come to it. being scared,i walked back into my yard again. all of a sudden,we saw at least a half dozen small planes make radical takeoffs from stormville airport which is a few miles away. as soon as these planes got into the air,the lights on this object went out and it was gone for good. the planes from stormville airport searched the entire area for at least the next 2 - 3 hours. a week or so later,there were reports of ultralights,flying in formation at night and we (through the media) were told this is what we saw. this is absolutley not true! i served in the u.s.m.c. where i worked on jets,helicopters and planes. i have never in my life not seen or not heard an object like this before or after this incident! as far as the ultralights are concerned, i can personally attest to the fact that it was actually small planes flying out of stormville airport. it seemed like every thursday after this incident,these planes would take off from stormville airport,form up in a "vee" formationand then fly south down the taconic state parkway. again,from where i lived,i could sit and watch these planes take off and form their formation. i remember many nights of standing in my yard after this incident just hoping that this object would return once again, but it never did.this is the first time i have ever really talked about this incident as i was always afraid that i would be ridiculed. however,i am much older now and really don't care what anyone thinks anymore. i know that this incident occured and that is all that matters to me!

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

absolutley cannot be explained as anything i have ever seen or heard before in my life

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

my views about ufos have always been open-minded. ( i don't believe in little green men with ray guns however)! i can't recall ever have reading anything in depth about ufos before my sighting
