Appearance / Description of Object(s)

All I can remember is a circular, metallic like object with blinding white lights that completely enveloped the car.

Size of Object(s)

It was bigger than our car, we had a Chevrolet Vega at the time. I would guess it was somewhere around 50 ft wide by 20 ft tall, but this is really hard to remember.

Description of Area / Surroundings

This was a rural area, just outside of town, where a sewage plant was located.

Full Description & Details

My ex-husband and I were returning from a relatives home outside of town. It had been raining that day, so it was very dark out. It must have been around 9 or 10 in the evening, I remember that there was hardly any traffic. There is or was (I no longer live there, so am not sure if the plant is still there) a sewer plant just outside the city limits. As we turned the corner, past the plant, I remember this bright, blinding white light came out of nowhere and seemed to envelope the car. It is about 3 or 4 miles from that point into town, where there is a bridge that crosses the Umpqua River. I must admit, I was so scared that I don't remember the drive for that 3 or 4 miles into town. The next thing I do remember is being on the old Oak Sreet bridge, which at that time was made of metal, and my husband and I were so frightened that we were fishtailing across the bridge. As we continued driving through town we watched the UFO, or it seemed at the time, it was watching and following us. Forgive my sketchy details on this incident, but I have always felt that I have blocked the sighting from my memory because it was such a frightening event to me.I have recently wanted to be hypnotized to see if I am able to recall more of what happened that night. The last thing I remember is watching it go off into the sky, zipping back and forth, unlike any plane and way too fast and high for a helicopter and then it was gone.

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

No

Witness Background

I am remarried, have been since 1977, to the same man. I am a grandmother of 2 lovely girls,age 5 and 12. I worked in the banking industry for years, got tired of it, stayed home several years , worked in a small restaurant for 8 yrs until my husband had a stroke and I had to stay home to care for him.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

Before this happened I would have laughed about UFO sightings. We told some family members about what happened to us and they laughed at us and so we chose to keep quiet on the subject for many years. I do know now that something very strange happened to us that night that I have no logical explanation for. I feel and have always felt in my mind that it was an extraterrestial experience. For years I was scared to remember any of that night, but now that I am older, I would like to try hypnosis to see if I can remember more details.
