| Smoking outside, looking at the night sky, I am near the local airport, and flight paths are near and over my house...Saw this brilliant light, star like, a deep almost sparkling ruby color, like a star, that moved below the tree line. It moved slowly and would appear to stop at times and would do a jerking erratic almost light displacement movement as I watched it..;It seemed to be going in a pattern, but a tight one, at first I thought it was a star, then knew it was too low and close, then a plane, with brilliant lights, colors more vivid and deep than I have ever seen, but it seemed impossible because it would shift directions, not turn, and then there was the displacement thing...Then considered if it were a helicopter, but helicopters that I have seen rarely move like this if ever, and the colors, the displacement, moving from left to right on an even plane, then stopping moving right to left without skipping a beat...It seemed to go in a pattern, as if scanning or searching the area...It could not have been any more than 10 miles south of me at the most...It would do pretty much the same thing, move east behind the trees, then shortly come back west into my vision, then there were two brilliant white lights that flashed, and they were super bright, at first two then each one would flash taking turns and very fast and then the ruby red lights, a circle, or star type shape...When I watched it it did the same thing over and over, I kept telling myself, "You have Got to Be Kidding" I am not sure how long this actually went on for because I really couldn't reconcile what I was seeing with anything I know about or have seen before... I actually got my digital camera out, but could not get a pic of it, the camera is not a good one the zoom is very very short, and does not take night pics well...I could not find it, or see in on the screen, no matter how I tried to find it with the camera...A roommate came home while I was still out there, he had a few friends with him, I wanted someone else to see it, and made him wait until it went behind the tree line and came back...They looked at me like I was nuts, he looked at it, they glanced, and he was not interested, said it could be anything, a plane...He wouldn't sit there to watch it more, he barely looked at it, he said he saw something but what it was, could be anything,then they went in...At that point I felt a little crazed, I had been watching this for awhile in disbelief and they just glance at it and go inside, no interest...I had to ask him if he saw it to get a reality check just in case I have gone bonkers...I have no agenda, to want to see any UFO's, in fact the thought of UFO's, as in, out of this world, alien technology, etc.. kind of freaks me out...I have seen a couple of objects with and confirmed by the people I was with years ago, that had no explanation but were much further away than this object...I went back outside later around 10 minutes and saw a plane come from behind the tree line I had last observed the object move behind. The plane seemed to be small, like ultra lite, I could hear it, from the point where I last saw the strange object.. I could not hear a thing as I observed the strange bright brilliant ruby red object..The small plane was not brilliant or bright, you could see the typical plane lights, I don't even remember seeing a tale light on the plane, and you could hear that it had a single small engine.. But I still blew the incident off as optical illusion, too much imagination, etc, I was embarrassed by my roommates reaction to my observation, even though he didn't bother to even watch it long enough to see how unusual it was...There is something totally intimidating about seeing the unusual alone, and then when I was trying to get someone else to observe, it was discounted without any real authority or observation... So anyway all day long this has bothered me a lot, I blew it off to maybe being the airplane, but still if I could believe my eyes and ears, it still didn't make sense to me...I am not sure what it was, it bugs me that I am not sure, not convinced of it being anything...Do want to call the local airport, that is less than 2 miles away to ask for any explanation, of the lights I saw...Experimental craft, optical illusions, what???? This bothered me all day, it is too strange, not to question, doesn't make any logical sense it doesn't fit in to any thing I have seen..I see large and small aircraft of all kinds day and night in the skies above and around the area. I live close to a small airport, 50 miles or less from major airports, Major Army, Air Force, and Navy military bases..The description of this object is very very close to the description of "Event 20115" for 10/25/09 in Austin TX, very strange, it seems like he/she is describing almost exactly what I watched, what are the odds????...How could I be the only person in this region to see this event it went on long enough for many people to see, but you would have to be a sky watcher, which most people rarely bother to look at anymore... |
