First, a picture to help me describe my encounter..
Way, way back around 1974, at around 10pm I was walking home accross the bay on a road the curves around the far end of the natural bay here in my home town. I was looking out accross the water when a strange movement caught my eye. I saw a streak of light kind of like a shooting star,(1) but it suddenly stopped and hovered.(2) I did a double take, what? then as my eyes focused on the object I noticed it was kind of oval and ever so slightly wobbeling slowly from side to side as it hovered. in the blink of an eye it moved down and to the left (3) hovered again for a few seconds then zipped again down and to the right.(4) I knew this was something strange, and quickly glanced around to see if anyone else was around to witness the strange object. As I turned back to watch the object it jumped again to the lower left.(5) This time I had a noticible clue to the distance it was from me, I saw it's reflection on the water and the trees on the edge of an island at the mouth of the bay were illuminated. Then as fast as it arrived, it zoomed upwards angled to the right and dissapeared.(6) I scanned the sky for any other movement and saw nothing. A very strange event for a 14 year old boy.
What was it? I don't know. The next day I asked my friends if any of them saw anything, they didn't and of course they could not pass up the opportunity to make fun of me, but I know I did see something that night. Even to this day the memory of what I saw is still clear as the day it happened.
This is my one and only UFO encounter. was it 'Alien'? perhaps. But all I can say is that it really is 'Unidentified' so it qualifies as a genuine UFO in my books.
So, now that you all know I really AM crazy
Have any of you seen strange things in the night sky? Do you have any stories that you would like to share?
Cheers!
