Appearance / Description of Object(s)The object was in the night sky, and by far I know that it was not a star or planet. It was lightly cloudy, so the shape of the object in the sky wasn't too impossible to make out. It seemed like a circular object, but I'm not overly sure. The object only seemed as if it was shaking, and barely moving what so ever. In fact, it just looked like it spectated the ground moving back and forth in the sky. It may of also rotated - the lights on it seemed to flicker white, red, orange, blue, and other tints of these colors. Size of Object(s)At least as small as a 1MM all around. From where it would look like in a plane, an estimated guess of about 50ft wide by 30ft tall. Description of Area / SurroundingsWe live around openings and small clumps of trees, as well as a small rock wall. We also rarely had freezing rain, so icicles were not out that night to my knowledge. We live in a rural surrounding, about 1000 feet down the road is the junkyard and some farms. We also live around 500 feet across from the Walmart Distribution Center, and a Fed-Ex building close by our home. We also have a national guard station located down Alfred Plourde Parkway, which is not very far from the Walmart Distribution Center. Full Description & DetailsOne night in February, as I recall it was a saturday night, the 25th, I was watching "Silence of the Lambs" on TV. I believe it was rerunning that night, so I decided to watch it. The time was around 2 AM, and the movie was barely into playing. I am rarely tired on Saturday nights, as well, so I was still wide awake before the sighting occured. I was laying in bed, a bit bored of being on the computer, but then suddenly, a very small, and very unnoticable flash went off in the sky - to be a little more descriptive, like someone took a picture high up in the sky, with a tiny flash. It instantaneously caught my eye, and I walked over to the window. I live in the basement, so I have a fairly good view of the outside. But something strange I noticed - the object that flashed was still in the sky, a hard to see object. I'm unsure whether or not it was triangular or a circular shape, but in my mind I saw it as a circular object. I watched the object move around - in fact, it didn't move around. It staggered around in the sky, almost like when you stick your finger out and it shakes. However, it was shaking at a very light rate. I closed up into the window to make absolutely sure it was no an icicle off a tree - but it couldn't be. It was in a small clearing of bare trees above the new WalMart distribution center in Lewiston, and I had complete ability to view it in all perspectives. I angled myself around the window, and I noticed absolutely no change - it still moved around. What made this stranger is that I knew it was NOT a plane, nor a helicopter. The object was closer, and farther away at points in time, but only small movements. It was fairly high in the sky I should say, at least a bit higher than what an airplane would fly in. Due to my window's blurriness, I couldn't make out what it was exactly doing. I had went to report this to another UFO site, checked back, and the object was still there. It was 2: 59 AM; by this time, I looked back outside, and the object appeared to be gone. What makes this strange is that it was completely gone from view. I did not see any flashing, or tickering of the light recessing from it. I also checked nearly 1 minute after viewing it the second time, and it was in what seemed like the same location. This was the last I saw of the object. Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?The issue is that I know of no stars out there. It was a cloudy/clear night, from where the object was, it was below the clouds. Animals and certain light bugs can't float this long, and planets do not dissipate from someone's view in 10 minutes. Along with man made objects, I rarely see satellites, airplanes, or blimps sitting in one spot for nearly 9 minutes, and then disappearing. It was also late night, meaning some man made objects would not of been out at around 3 AM. Witness BackgroundI am 15 years old, I know much about history and some of science, a student at the local high school. Already I do game design, animation, and some of my hobbies include playing games and watching the news. If I could give more credibility to my character, I would, but in the rights of censorship, I declare to justify none other than where I go to school and what I do, but I will not give out more. Views on UFOs, before and after sightingI knew quite a bit beforehand - I learned a lot about UFOs from the History channel and I know about a few of the bigger events, such as the Phoenix Lights and Roswell incident. On occasion, I feel sometimes a bit paranoid of UFOs from abductions and events in time. Other CommentsI realize some people would think this is a hoax, but I truly saw a UFO. I can't distress this message any further, and to my belief, considering this event to be false is almost constitution for nothing. I had taken my liberty of seeing my own UFO, this is the second one I've sighted. My first had been a similar triangular shaped UFO, that flew in the sky and headed off south. I allegedly know of events that have led up to this, and I know by far that whatever in the sky was not man-made, nor was it another object. I even get paranoid on the occasion, as said before, if I see one. Even after February 25th, I've looked out my window just to see if the UFO will ever come back.
