Saucer shining a light above treeline on our top lawn, followed by encounter, scariest moment of my life

I was sitting on the couch with my mom who was recently diagnosed with lung cancer about 3 weeks before this night. She was laying down on the couch with the bottom of her feet facing the TV and I was sitting perpendicular to the TV so the TV was on my right. Behind the TV we have a wall of books, we called that room the library.

I got up to go to the kitchen and when I walked through the doorway, I had an urge to look out the hallway window on my left, honestly for no reason. I looked out the window, looked up the driveway and saw lights at the top of the trees like someone was driving down the road but instead of the headlights being just above the road like they would be, these lights were at the top of the tree line, above the trees. I thought it was so weird because it was kind of going a little bit slow and I thought a car would be much faster so I keep looking out the window and the light passed the top of the trees at the top of the driveway and went over to my left and next to our house on the left is our top lawn, which is probably about 2k ft. in length.

It was just silent and black hovering over the trees on our top lawn. The beam from the bottom shined down on the top of the trees so it was probably 20 or 30 feet above the top of the trees. I started freaking out, my heart started racing, my gut instinct was that it was definitely a UFO. I never had experienced anything like this before. I started freaking out some more then went right back to the couch to the same exact place where I was a minute before and literally had a hard time breathing because I was so scared. I just wanted it to go away. About 2 to 3 minutes later there was a beam of light that started shining through our window, like scanning the wall from left to right. The window was to the left of me behind my mom's head. It's a bay window where there are 3 sections, left, center and right. The middle/center window had the beam of light like a flashlight shining in the house. The scanning started from the top left corner and started scanning the wall/books left to right top to bottom very slowly and I turned to look out the window and I saw three figures standing there that were dark but I saw them all standing next to each other.

The one in the middle had the flashlight and did the scanning of the bookshelf left to right across the books. I literally had a hard time breathing and I said to my mom oh my God Mom do you see that light and she said yes, stop, you are scaring me.

I basically just closed my eyes and held my breath and waited for that moment to pass and finally opened my eyes looked up and there was finally nothing. I got up and looked out the window and they were gone thank God. Still to this day I cannot believe I experienced that and for a long time after that happened I kept Googling aliens and cancer and wondered why they came literally directly to our house.They had to walk down a slight hill to get to our window. We did have the lights on in the library and they did go straight to that middle window so they knew there was something in there. Still to this day I don't know if they saw me sitting on the couch or not or if they saw the back of my mom's head. There were wooden Bermuda blinds that were halfway up the window so I could only see there heads. I think it was just dark where the eyes and nose would be. It looked like they were a smooth gray and short like 4 or 5 feet tall. I wonder why they came to the the window I don't! know why they were scanning the bookshelf but the light never made it over to the couch which was on the far right of the room where my mom and I were sitting so maybe they didn't see us or maybe they just wanted to leave us alone, I'll never know.

I just turned to stone when I saw that light going across the bookshelf though scanning the bookshelf wall. They must have seen the TV on because they had a clear view of the TV. I'm sure they could see in the whole room. It really just freaks me out just thinking about what happened. And like I said I still wonder why they came literally right to our house to the top of the trees and why they came down to the house and I literally thought for months and years afterwards,"Were they there because my mom had cancer?" Does anybody know if there is any correlation between aliens and cancer? Like I said I Googled 4 months afterwards aliens and cancer and found nothing about it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I don't like talking about it, thinking about it or really telling anyone this story. It is so bizarre to me and honestly scared the living daylights out of me. I'm so thankful they didn't take me and I'm thankful I don't have any missing time or anything like that. Maybe they just didn't see us sitting on the couch from the angle they were at. I read a story on here that somebody had an encounter with the same type of extraterrestrial, a gray with smooth skin about 5 ft tall. I was not on drugs nor drunk when I experienced this, there was nothing in my system at all. I didn't really talk to my mom about this afterwards she did see the light scan the bookshelf but she too was so freaked out.

When my dad came home that night I told him everything even though it obviously sounded like I was crazy, however I was so shaken up I'm pretty sure he knows I truly experienced this very scary night. My Mom died less than 2 months later. She was never a smoker either. Unfortunately, I had two more ufo experiences after my mom died, both the following year, in 2005. I will share those as well in two different posts since they were two different encounters. Please reach out if anyone has experienced anything similar to anything like this, thanks.
