This is an account of a strange incident that happened to me about fifteen years ago. Was it a UFO? It was to me because I couldn’t identify the object. Can you?
I am writing about something that only my close family knows about. I didn’t tell anyone else and I still will not except to my friends on Triond who do not know me from Dick’s hat band. (My family or friends never look here.) I didn’t want anyone to think I was out of my mind so I have kept my mouth shut. It was so weird and frightening that I was almost shocked out of my wits.
I had to be on my job at 5:00 in the morning so I always left home about 4:00. I drove through town and turned off on a wooded road where there were very few houses and a long stretch of road where there were no houses at all. There were no other cars on the road at this time of morning. This morning I left as usual, drove through town and turned off on the wooded road. It was a dark night. I couldn’t see anything outside the range of my headlights but suddenly the road and woods lit up as bright as day. I looked up and just over the trees there was a round object with windows all around it. There were bright lights inside and lights glowing from the outside. A round something was revolving around it. I can’t think of anything to describe it other than a large rounded tube. The lights were bright with a hint of different colored tints. But mostly like day light. It was shaped more like a child’s toy top than anything I can think of though not exactly. It was flatter and wider at the bottom though still round. The upper part was smaller around and rounder. I wish I could describe it so you could imagine exactly what it looked like but that’s the best I can do.
I was too shocked at the moment to be scared and I just stared at it. It seemed to be sitting still just over the trees but revolving. I stepped on the gas and it stayed in front of me for probably a few seconds then I thought it darted away but the road and woods were still as bright as day so I knew it was hovering right over me. I was so scared and I drove as fast as my car would go without me losing control. I expected it to set down in the road right in front of me. I have to admit that I thought I was going to be kidnapped. I know it sounds silly and that’s why I have never talked about it.
I have always heard the expression “I was beside myself.” Well, now I know what that means. I really did feel like I was outside myself watching what was happening. Anyway, I was speeding along with this thing hovering over me one minute and the next minute it turned away and was gone. The whole episode probably didn’t last but a few minutes but it seemed like a lifetime. I was still, “beside myself” I think I was in shock. I went on to work and didn’t mention it to a soul. I felt like everything was moving in slow motion but I worked my shift and drove home.
I told my husband and son about what had happened when they came home. Of course they could hardly believe me. They both thought it must have been a helicopter or a new light that had been put up recently but I knew it had been something I had never seen before. After dark that night they both drove along the wooded road to see what it could have been but there was nothing.
I continued to drive the same road to work and for weeks I watched for the object. I can’t think of a better word. I eventually stopped watching for it but I have wondered what it could have been and tried to think of any reasonable explanation for what I saw. It was there. I saw it. But I have no explanation. Tell me what you think it was.
You have two subjects here: UFO= unidentified flying object, and aliens. There a lot of UFO sightings, but that doesn’t mean they are filled with aliens. Your story is interesting: I can’t explain what happened to you and I have no reason to doubt your story, you seem like a sincere lady. That said, with your experience your in a better position to answer the question than I am! 
Well done.
Thanks,
Clay
