Damn, I wish there were more to talk about here. I had a youthful fascination with UFOs. And as an astronomer, the possibilities of what UFOs could be have enormous potential appeal for me. But I've researched the subject a lot, from Ezekial to Yucatan and everything else in between, and try as I might (and believe me, I have) there's virtually nothing that gives me even the slightest pause or makes me want to say "hmmm." It's too bad in a way -- I would personally love to see a UFO -- but as I said, no there there. In my opinion, it's a content empty discussion.
I've seen two craft that defy common known capabilities within 200 feet of me (combined distance, not at the same time) and one that I thought was a satellite in space until it stopped and started making a triangle pattern over and over.
I was around 16 years old on that one. I wish I would have counted how many times it made that triangle. Don't ask me why, it just is a desire I've always had about it that I cannot explain a reason for.
Another one is a long story, but in short, it was about 50 feet up and 50 feet away from my brother and me and it was hovering. (It had followed us in my brothers car for about 5 miles.) It was an area that had a lot of trees, so we just knew it was a light, but could not tell what it was.
The only clearing for quite a few more miles was a church.
We lost sight of it for about two minutes and when we came around the corner, it was hovering above the church.
We pulled into the church parking lot and I got out of the car. My brother stayed in the car at this time and was looking at it through the windshield.
(He was driving)
When I got out, I walked about five feet in front of the car and was looking at the craft. It was around 2am, so I did not get much detail.
It was triangular, with lights on each corner. All I could tell was it seemed like the front and right rear edges came to a point. It looked like a blade.
(I could not see anything but the light on the left rear corner)
The craft was completely silent. I'm not sure how long I stood there looking and it, but I bet you could have driven a truck in my mouth...lol
Well, I asked by brother to flash the head lights. The car was pointed right at it. Somewhere along the line my brother had gotten out of the car, but he stood inside the open door. I never noticed that he got out.
Well, he said he would not flash the lights at it. I should have known then what I found out later....
I asked him a few times to do it and he said no each time. So I got a little mad and snapped at him to do it.
So he did, he flashed the lights three times. And about three seconds later, the lights on the craft pulsed three times.
I cannot describe what I felt when it flashed back. It was kind of like the chill up your spine, only it was the whole core of my body did it. I honestly was not expecting it to do anything. I said something that I will not post on the formed, but it was just excitement in a crude form. "Holy f***ing ◊◊◊◊ ! That was bada*s !!!" Something to that effect.
And here is what I should have seen coming came....as soon as I said,"Do it again, do it again!" I heard the door shut.
My brother rolled up to where I was turning the car to put the door on my left said and he said,"Get in!"
I just said,"Do it again! Flash it again!"
And he started to pull ahead like he was going to leave me there. He said,"Get in now, I'm leaving with or without you."
So I got in the car.
I was not upset at that time, I was still in shock but in an excited way. My brother was shaking, and he was looking in the rear view mirror more than he was looking at the road.
He was terrified. I still rag him about it, and he laughs about it now. But he admits that if it ever happened again, he would leave just as before.
I do not know the origin of the craft. All I know is that it never made a sound.
The other I saw was with a friend. It was also very late, around 3am. We were walking to the large neighborhood pool. It was about a half mile from my house. We would jump the fence and swim at night.
On the way, I do not know if it is connected, but it could have been that is why I say this part....way off in the distance we saw what looked like a firework coming down. You know the old comet ones that would leave trails off the back? Well like that, but the front was burning orange and the tail was green. It was a long trail. It could have been a firework, I am not sure.
We swim for around and hour and go back to my house. We hang outside for a while talking, I was sitting on a project car I was building, Steven was in front of it standing in the driveway.
I kept picking up movement out of my peripheral, and kept looking to my right. All I saw was a street light through some trees.
So we kept talking, but I kept looking to my right. After I did it about five times, Steven started looking and asked me what I kept looking at.
I just thought that a breeze was catching the branches and causing them to sway and disrupting the street light so it looked like it was moving.
Then when I said that to Steven, he watched for a second and said,"No, I think the pole the light on is about to fall, because the light is moving."
So we walk down my driveway, and it is not the streetlight at all. That street light was not working.
About 75 feet off the ground, the light was coming towards us quickly. It was coming really quickly.
As it came close then it became clear what it was, my first reaction was to jump under my car. I have no idea why. Something just did not feel right.
I did not feel that way with the triangular craft.
This craft was saucer shaped, but it had a large tube in the center of it. It was an amber color, and looked like it had to have been about ten feet long, and about 1/5th the size of the crafts diameter.
It seemed to slow as it got to about 20 feet from us before it passed almost directly over head. The only reason we could tell it's shape was because of that light illuminated the bottom of it. I was focused on that tube. Steven said he saw windows ringing around the outside edges around it's center.
I did not see that, because I was focused on the tube.
It, like the triangular craft, was completely silent.
Then, once it passed us by about 30 feet, it picked up speed, and I mean a lot of speed. We looked at each other as we lost sight of it because of my house, both bug eyed and slack jawed.
So without a word, we both ran up the stairs to the deck on the back of my house, and we only saw it for a few more seconds before it was out of sight.
Steven and I did not speak to each other the rest of the night. I have no idea why, but we didn't.
I know it is hard to believe, but I'd swear any oath that those are indeed facts. Not birds, not swamp gas....aircraft.
Again, I have no idea if they were alien or not, but I just do not know of anything the U.S. government has that is anything thing like the craft I've seen.
