I was visiting the site of the famous civil war battles by myself. At that night, I was restless and got out of bed. I looked out of my hotel window for no given reason. There was a bright red-orange-yellow sphere in the sky.

I woke up at 10:50. I was very restless and I got out of bed to get a drink of water. After a quick bathroom break I walked over to the hotel window, and pulled the curtain aside. Nothing was normal at first to me. I remember noticing the object in the sky and quickly passing it off for a plane or something else. After a while it dawned on me that the object in the sky was not moving and was a very unnatural color which kept changing from red to yellow to orange and back to red again. I could not tell what the shape of the craft was because of the lights which were growing and shrinking in size. I stared at this figure in the sky for a long time. Suddenly, the light dissapeared completely from sight, leaving no trace of its existance. When I looked at the clock again it was 11:12. The strangest part of this experience was that when I stepped back into bed, even though I had just experienced a strange and even scarry sight, I felt very relaxed and happy, and fell back to sleep easily.
