Full Description & Details

Hi. I have witnessed this unexplainable happenings in Illinois in 1975. I lived in Granite City for 12 years. I now reside in Georgia. Strange happenings here too. In 1975, my brother, his girlfriend and I went around the block from where we lived. It was Winter and we went to iceskate on the field behind a Church. ( Maryville Road). The field had frozen over and we had until 10:00 p.m. to skate. When we got to the field it was quite and the sky was full of Snow clouds. But shortly after we arrived we noticed a brightness. We looked up and there were 3 white beams shining down. No sound was made but it covered a Huge area.. Couldn't see where the lights came from( spaceship?) but the lights were in a triangular shape shining through the clouds and there was a Red one present. The Clouds were too thick.. We watched and waited for 10 to 15 minutes... And it just vanished.. No sound of it was ever made.. In 1975 you didn't hear of anyone trying to find out what these sightings are.. you were considered Crazy if you talked about it... But I think it's Great now that We Want To Know.. and We're digging into it.. I would still like to know what it was that night... The sightings here in Georgia are different.. But I would like the Witnesses in Illinois to know that their not seeing things.. These sightings are REAL...!!!! Thank you for giving me this moment to Tell you what I witnessed in 1975, in Granite City Illinois.. God Bless.

Sincerely

Cindy Mobley

Before witnessing that one.. I didn't really believe. I do now because I stll witness them in Georgia but not the same as Illinois.. and My daughter has witnessed them here also... I Do believe and would like an explanation.. I watch the skies now that I know there's something out there ..We're not alone.. Thank you and God Bless.
