| Description | WITNESS ACCOUNT: Five or six neighborhood kids ages ranging from five years old to eight or nine were playing in the vacant lots across the street from our houses. The weather was a warm summer day with no clouds or rain and the time was (I think-not sure) early afternoon. Seemingly, out of nowhere three or more spherical objects appeared in the sky. We all froze as we watched them descend and come closer. One of them came almost directly over us descending and “tilting or turning”in a way that made me think that “they” could see us and wanted to get closer. There was no doubt in my mind as to occupants viewing us and I tried to see inside the “ball” as it watched us. The others “balls” stayed further away and all remained still, silent and hovered in place for, what seemed like many minutes?hours? I don’t know how long.. We all just stood silently staring at them until in unison the objects moved straight upward very fast and flew away from us. We proceeded to continue playing and no one seemed to think much about the objects other than to exclaim how “pretty” those things were. We were so young that we didn’t realize it was anything to concern ourselves with – just something in the adult world. I remember thinking the objects were the most beautiful things I had ever seen and I hoped they would come back. I watched the sky forever hoping to see them again. I’m still watching. Sorry I can’t be more precise or remember more. I think maybe hypnosis might help but I haven’t pursued it.I will though as soon as I am able to find appropriate hypnotherapist . I truly feel as if I need to discover all I can about those objects and that summer day so long ago. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to finally talk about this.I’m 83 years old and all this time no one has wanted to hear about this experience. Thanks for all you’re doing to get the facts and truth. |
