IT WAS A WARM SUMMER NIGHT.

THERE WAS 6 OF US IN MY NEW COBVERTIBLE.

WE WERE ALL 16-17 YRS OLD AND NO WE WERE NOT DRINKONG OR SMOKING ANYTHING.

WE WENT OUT TO THE QUARRY TO SWIM AND 15 MIN AFTER WE GOT THER WE HEARD A VERY LOW HUMMING SOUND.

THE RADIO STARTED CRACKELING AND WE HEARD DOGS BARKING IN THE DISTANCE.

OUT OF NOWHERE A SILVER CIGAR SHAPED OBJECT APPEARED AND STARTED DOING A LIGHT SHOW FOR US.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT--WE WERE NOT AFRAID AND WE EVEN YELLED-GO UP-GO DOWN-GO LEFT AND IT FOLLOWED EVERY DIRECTION.

THIS LASTED FOR ABOUT 20 MIN.AND WE WERE MESMORIZED.

SUDDENLY IT WAS GONE.

WE JUST LOOKED AT ONE ANOTHER IN DISBELIEF AT WHAT WE JUST SAW.

I SAID WE NEEDED TO GO GET THE SHERIFF-SO WE JUMPED BACK INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE.

INSTANTLY-THERE WAS A HUGH WHITE LIGHT BEHIND US- THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT--SO WE STARTED DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS THE LIGHT AND POOF--IT WAS GONE.

ALMOST OUT TO THE MAIN ROAD WE SAW IT AGAIN ABOVE US.

THIS TIME WE SAW THE RED AND SILVER LIGHTS ON IT.

IT WAS THAT CLOSE TO US.

SMALL ROUND WINDOWS-A FUNNY SHAPED THING ON THE BACK AND TOP AND IT WAS CIGAR SHAPED.

IT MADE 3 CIRCLES IN THE AIR--THEN IT WAS GONE.

HERE IS THE WEIRD PART.

2 DAYS LATER AROUND 2:00 AM -I AWOKE TO A NOISE I CAN'T EXPLAIN.

I WENT OUTSIDE TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND -OH MY GOD-THE UFO WAS THERE--ABOVE "MY" HOUSE.

I RAN INSIDE AND CALLED 3 OF MY FRIENDS WHO LIVED NEARBY AND THEY RAN OVER.

THE OBJEST JUST HOOVERED IN THE SKY THERE FOR AROUND 30 MIN.

WE WERE A LITTLE SCARED THIS TIME.

IT WAS SO CLOSE TO THE GROUND-YET MADE NO OTHER NOISE.

WE ALL RAN BACK INTO MY KITCHEN AND 5 MINUTES LATER LOOKED OUT AND IT WAS GONE.

THE NEXT DAY THERE WERE 14 OTHER REPORTS FROM OUR TOWN OF A UFO SIGHTING THAT NIGHT.

THERE WAS A VERY SMALL BURNT PATCH OF GRASS IN MY BACK YARD BELOW WHERE THE OBJECT HAD BEEN.

NOW IT NEVER LANDED SO THIS IS A MYSTERY ON HOW THE GRASS WAS BURNED.

TO THIS DAY I HAVE NEVER SEEN IT OR ANYTHING LIKE IT AGAIN.

OH-ONE MORE THING--I HAVE 2 BAD DEEP SCARS ON MY ARM THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

IN 1980--I FOUND OUT FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT 3 OF THE 6 OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE THAT NIGHT -ALSO HAVE THE SAME SCARS.

WE HAVE NO MEMORY OF ANYTHING EXCEPT WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU.

YOU BE THE JUDGE.

I KNOW ONE THING FOR SURE-- WE ARE NOT ALONE--THERE ARE OTHERS AND THEY ARE WATCHING US--

NUFORC Note:
