Full Description & Details

I was out prospecting and on my way back on my 3 will ATV. this was a week berfore the big story about lights over Phoenix hit the news. I was having problems finding my truck but knew I was close when I saw the Power line towers. I notice there was a light right over one of them and I thought it might have been some kind of work crew out there. There a dirt service road that runs along the power lines to service the towers. I notice seeing wildlife running away from the area while I was approaching the tower that had the light just above it. I road my ATV right up to the tower to ask questions on how to get to the main road when my ATV shut off. I looked up to see there was no service crew up there and observed a round dome shaped light. It was no bright seem more like a glowing light. I look at the light and that is all that I could see. I could not see the rest of the craft till later. Judging the amout of stars blocked from my vision it must have been pretty big. Could tell how big it was. The strange thing about the craft is it made no noise. Nothing but silence. After about a minute of observing the craft, It realized that I was down there just on the other side of the power line and it positioned itself righ above me about 75 ft. above me and sat there a hovered over me for about 4to 5 mins. Once again the whole time I did not hear and noise at all. At this time I was getting really scared. I was scared but calm at the same time. I was very still and did not move. My body felt strange while under the craft. I started praying to God to make it go away because I was so scared what might happen with the encounter. The next thing I remember is the craft slowing moving away. I stayed in the general area for about 40 mins long and I observed it flying around. I wobbled at times and did not fly in any kind of straight path for very long. From a distance it had orange triangular lights from the side view. Phoenix sky harbor airport was a distance away and you could see aircraft approching for landing so this may be why people might have thought it was just another plane. I have a degree in Electrical Engineering technology and I know we don't have technology that I saw because everything we have that flys generally makes noise. The craft also flew like nothing I have ever seen. Itlook like ther may have been another craft a great distance away. I notice that the orange lights could have be flashing some kind of signal or comunication to this other craft. When I finally got home it seems it took alot longer then I should but I'm not sure If there was some time lost during the encounter. I told a few people about it and they laughed until the big story hit a week later about the lights over Phoenix that was thought to be a UFO. People started asking questions. I was afraid to report it fearing the government might threaten me in some way. The fact that I was along at the time I figured most people would not beleive my story but I will never forget it and would take a lye detector test in a minute to prove what I saw. The whole time I observed the craft I was not theaten in anyway.
