I was awakened early one morning in my dorm room at Winthrop College, which is unlike me. I looked out the window near my bed. Our curtains were not drawn, as we were on the eighth floor where no one could really see in. I noticed a flashing yellow-orange light flashing slowly. At first I thought nothing of it, thinking it was an airplane light or a radio tower light. Soon white, or light yellow lights began to appear one-by-one in a ring around the original light. I was frozen, trying to understand what I was seeing. After the last light in the outer ring appeared. the entire set of lights began to blink in unison, faster and faster.

All of a sudden, the entire object zoomed out of sight, faster than anything I'd seen before. I'll never forget it.
