Hello, ever since this event happened to me at the young age of 7, I have been and forever will be certain and inquisitive of the fact we are being visited/watched. For whatever reason, this event/subject has been weighing very heavily on my mind particularly the last 6 months. Feel need to share this story. Main differences I notice between the majority of stories I hear via podcast/articles and our story is the number of people witness to it and maybe more importantly, the height at which this vehicle was hovering over us to witness it was very low and blocking out a big portion of the night sky. So here it is.
When I was 7 years old, my 17 year old sister was out past curfew with her BF and came home not very sneakily and quite as she normally would in that situation, but came in freaking out yelling at us all “get up, get up, they’ve been following us all night and follower us home! They are hovering above our back yard right now! Come look! Come look!” So my Mom, Brother, Grandma, and myself all got out of bed around midnight or 1am to follow her outside and see what she was talking about and there it was! This massive huge black square or triangle shaped craft hovering over part of our back yard and into the farmland bordering our backyard. All 5 of us walked around our fence to stand behind our shed in the strip of grass between our yard and the corn field that year. It was pretty much silent, it had 6 big lights that would eluminate one at a time and each one was to my 7 year old recollection about 6 to 8 feet in diameter and lit up in a pattern that was almost a full circle, but before it completed the circle with last light, it would light up a light in what seemed to be the center of the craft. So almost like the pattern of a “G” . I remember looking to my left seeing my mom’s ficus just glued to it with mouth half open in awe, and then looking to my right and seeing my brother, my sister, and then my Grandma with the exact same look on their face. None of us thought to go get our home video camera, I believe my brother said he should go grab one of our family hunting guns, but my mom said no. But other than that, I just remembered we were all staring up at this thing in a memorized state basically, no one saying much, after the initial shock of the sight. To my recollection it lasted about 10 to 15 min, I could very clearly see the STRAIGHT line of the craft where the sky was getting blacked out on one side of craft and only way I felt you could notice its presence other than sight was this slight feeling that there was a vibration to the air, but I sometimes wonder if thus vibration feeling was due to the shock and awe state we were all in. My mother is very very religious and told us to not tall about it to anyone, even her, and I chalk that up to her mainly wanting us to not be the weird UFO kids, AND, I don’t think she could quantify it according to her religious foundation, because that would be admitting there is possibly a higher being other than God and us, whom God created. BUT since then, she has confronted it and come to realization that “if they exist, than God created them as well” that was the first time I realized she had gotten past it, and accepted it, and found a way to cope with it. Since that moment I’ve tried to talk her and my siblings and everyone has the exact same problem with remembering that event, which is, how did they leave? My mom and I both think they just slowly ascended over the tree line behind the corn field, my brother and sister have no definitive memory though, and really, neither does my mom or myself. I di remember running scared out of my mind along with the rest of my family around to the front of our house and into front door. Where we normally would enter through back door, and I ran right out of my dad’s grilling shoes and I know they were left in the yard that night due to that frantic run.
So thats in a nutshell, my family’s experience, my dad was out of town on business at the time. My brother and I, in spite of what my mom said, asked our neighbor friends if they saw anything, they didn’t, and then asked a couple other neighborhood kids and they hadn’t either. So this event has left me stumped, not really stumped I guess, but left me wanting more, more info, more recollection, and just more answers in general.
One weird thing I’ve discovered over the years, is my brother and my brother alone, remembers everything a bit different, he remembers 3 craft with 2 lights each and that we watched them from our sunroom and not from behind the shed. This detail has also been haunting me a buy as of late, as well as none of us not remembering clearly at all, if at all, how they left.
That’s my story, I’m sure I could get my sister and brother to tell it in own words as well and pretty good chance my mom as well, as I have been telling her lately, I need to get it out there, document it, and try and figure it out a bit more.
Thanks for the platform in order to start doing this.
