Cigar shaped craft shines spotlight for me to walk towards it

My experience happened in the fall of 1965 or the spring of 1966. I believe it was the fall. I know it was that time frame because I had just bought my first car a new 65’ VW. There was no snow on the ground and it was not real cold, so I believe this was maybe November of 1965. I know the dates are important to you but this is the closest I can come.

I was living with my grandparents in Concord so that is where this story ends. It begins however on Rt 3 (the highway) in Billerica. I was coming from Lowell and approaching the River Road exit. I think that is what it is called, the jail is/was there. Not sure if it still is. It was 7 to 8 PM I would say and the traffic was not heavy, thank goodness because I would have caused an accident.

To my right, hovering above the trees was an object, cigar shaped. It had 3 lights as I can remember, one blue, one red and I believe one white. The light part is the vaguest of my memory, but there were lights on the bottom area. The object was dark, but there was enough light out to see the shape. I watched it as I was approaching it and it did not appear to be moving so the closer I got the slower I went. I almost stopped beside the spot but just drove slow. I was very excited to see this.

My father and I had a few discussions about UFO’s and he said if I ever saw one that I should mentally talk to them because they would be advanced and could be telepathic.

So that is why I was excited!!! I was 21 and eager to explore. I asked them to pick me up and take me with them, mentally. I kept watching to see if it would move as I passed it and as I took the exit I turned to watch but saw nothing. I drove over the highway and took a right onto the River Road going towards Billerica and to my surprise on my right hovering over a house set way back off the road (now a church) was this object or craft.

No traffic, so I pulled over fast. As I opened my car door a spot light went on from this plane/craft hovering the house, it shown a path for me. I started walking around the car towards it and saw another car coming down the road so I rushed back into my car and just sat there. The spot light from the plane/craft also went off.

This happened 3 times, each time a car coming to interrupt me going towards the spotlight. It was dark but I could see the space over the house between this plane/crat thing. I sat in my car, not afraid at all and then the plane/craft just swioohed up and over me as though it were tired of waiting. It was silent!!! Complete silence, jaw breaking silence. I opened my window and watched. I heard nothing. I also think I yelled "wait"!!! I was so excited I could hardly breath. I took off in my car towards Billerica Center, took Rt. 3a South towards my parents house. Driving down that road I look up to my right and there it was again following my path, or just ahead of me, so I went fast trying to chase it. It disappeared though. I began thinking maybe it was following the river for some reason. This all started near the river. I don’t know why the water idea came to me but somehow I felt they liked water.

I felt angry afterwards that I was so slow getting out and back in my car and caring if any other cars saw me, because they finally flew off. I think though that I did not want to share my experience and I think I felt that other people being there would interrupt them taking me. That is why I kept getting back into my car and pretending nothing was going on. But the plane/craft did the same thing with the spotlight.

After visiting with my parents and telling them the story I had wanted to drive around with my father. I believe we did drive around, but also went to visit my brother on the other side of the town. I was so distracted though, just looking up unable to pay attention to anything else. We had a nice visit, which is important in my story.

Later about 11 PM I arrived at my grandparents house in Concord, went upstairs and got into bed. As I lay there I heard a plane. Not uncommon for that area either because the Bedford Air Force base is close and they fly by. Not over, but close by. But this plane I heard stopped right over the house and hovered, the house shook. The motor was very loud this time, it was not like a plane flying by, it stayed there.

I knew it was them. I spoke to it mentally and told it I had changed my mind. I felt that if I went with them I would be lonely for my family which I had not considered earlier being young and impulsive. I was also a little scared by then since it seemed to have FOUND me. Then it flew off.

This was one of the first of many unusual experiences I have had in my life. I have had other encounters. Thanks for listening, I have wanted to write this at your site for a few years now. Every world of this is true, except perhaps the dates.
