I was running a night shift in the middle of the desert, using a track hoe to feed an incinerator. I am a 4 year vetran of the army and my co-worker was a retired special forces major.

I saw the craft just below the cloud deck which was at 9500 ft. A winter storm was moving in and snow was forecast. This craft was hovering over a mountain range,in line-site of my position.I used the interstate to gauge it's size,and estimated it at over a mile and a half in lenght.It had sequential running lights that illuminated the clouds that were just above the immense craft.I have seen every known military plane,blimp,tanker,helicopter and stealth included.My esteemed colligue got a deathly white sheen to his face and would not come out of his personal jeep and quit 2 weeks later,no explanation.It re-appeared 2 more times in different location's but never too far from this gold mine it was hovering over.I,myself have seen more than i am writing about today,i just find it hard to belive that no one saw this gigantic craft making no bones about hiding,or playing hide and seek.Incidently,the next night,we were visited by 2 attack cobras who sat and watched us for god knows how long,until i cranked up the track hoe to feed the incinerator,and had to flick on the floods.As soon as i was aware of their presence,they circled our site several times,scanning us with a green laser light and i flicked my day-lighters in approval and the left at a high rate of speed going directly towards that gold mine.I have never seen attack helicopters fly in such miserable weather.My co-partner didn't want any mention of this to anyone,like it shook his very religious foundation,he was scared,i know scared and he was babbling like a child.ME,i turned the track hoe to face it and kept flicking my day-lighters in the hope they would come and see who was behind those lights.The back ground was a unique canvas,snow cloud white and a deck down to 9500 fett and the immense reflection from the circulating lights gave a crystal clear image of size,color and pure mavolence.I felt at ease,no panic.you see,i felt as these were friends,like we had met before.As i said earlier,i have many a tale to tell,maybe we can converse on another time,another report,maybe even meet some day.I am a regular guy,i have an associates degree in structural engineering and an advanced degree in heavy equipment operation.My name is barry,and you should be able to gleen my e-mail from this.Thank you sooooooooo much for reading my story.
