Full Description & Details

it was sometime around midnight , i was walking home and noticed the stars were very easy to see that night. i had looked up a few times to notice how beautiful they appeared that night and one particular star caught my eye because it seemed to be the brightest of them all. i was looking almost straight up but a little to the southwest when i finally stopped walking to get a better look at what i was seeing. the light that i thought was a star was not a star because after i had stood still and really focused in on the light i could tell it was not as far away as i thought ,and it wasnt the same exact color as the stars. well of course i thought well maybe i am seeing a planet but i realized again that whatever it was was inside our atmosphere and if i had to guess i would say it was 15,000 feet or better in the air. not really sure on that measurment but the light seemed to be getting closer as if it were moving down from that altitude.then i was asking myself if i am imaging this thing so i remember slapping myself in the face a few times to make sure i wasnt dreaming as i was watching this light get brighter and closer and then all of a sudden i felt this weird feeling that someone was watching me and then realized that there was some kind of light beam that was focusing on me, coming from the light in the sky. i then again slapped myself in the face to really make sure i wasnt dreaming or imaging things. i was starting to get scared at this point, because i didnt know what was happening. i was still feeling the light beam focused on me and it felt like it was getting more intense, my hair was standing up from being freaked out and i was getting goosebumps. this was really starting to scare the heck out of me. the light beam once it started never stopped focusing on me, i could tell something was looking at me from up above and i thought oh my god its a ufo and there gonna beam me up or something and do something to me. this was not any kind of aircraft light i had ever seen before, it was not anything from this planet. i never saw any shape of a ship or craft ,all i was seeing was this light in the sky moving closer to me and it had some kind of beam of light coming from it that was looking at me!!!! i have thought about this everyday for twenty years and remember it as if it were yesterday. well anyways ..after i realized what was going on i totally got freaked out and started running home, i didnt stop till i was home and never looked back because i was too scared to look.

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

this was not a planet and it was not anything i had ever seen before that flies in the air

Other Comments

i remember this like it was yesterday and have thought about it every day for twenty four years. i never told anybody about it in detail because i was afraid of them thinking i was crazy.
