1/10/08 Poughkeepsie,NY 20:05 Circular/Sphere with 4 pods 200 feet above ground

I am a registered nurse who does not believe in UFO's and am skeptical about their sightings. On January 10, 2008 while walking my dog, I saw the following after I had researched all unusually shaped aircrafts and found absolutely none that looked like what I had seen that evening.

The object was a saucer shape with 4 rounded pods protruding from the sides. It was white, possibly light grey in color. Under each pod there were alternating dull red/blue lights under each pod. The craft was approximately 200 feet above the ground, no sound just gliding. When it came directly over me, there was sort of an emptiness to the environment sort of a black hole if you will. It hovered over me for a few seconds then came a sound of the engine revving up. The space craft then picked up speed, travelled approximately 2 miles then disappeared into the air.

After this incident, I looked up the hill where I was and saw a dark figure with a bright blue light that did not reflect light as a traditional flashlight would walking towards me. My Labrador Retriever kept looking in the direction of this image and wanted to go towards it. I ran towards my home all the while pulling the dog. When I came into the house, the dog ran up the stairs and looked out the window and began to bark incessantly with his hair standing on end. I no longer saw the image. I did not want to call the police because I thought that they would think I was unstable. I am writing to you at the prompting of a few friends who believe this will be helpful.
